New footage from the 1950's in colour.

London from the back of a bus

Look at those classic cars

Go on, then. Guess the year. The Morris 1000 Traveller was first sold in 1952 so it's no earlier.

You can`t call a car a Traveller now

Thanks for posting. Can't believe all the parking spaces available. Also, the place looks a lot more civilised.

" Certainly none of the other " in the title

How do you know some tom isn`t having a Half-Crown knee trembler in an alley out of shot

Would I be watching my back on foot back then?

Dont think so...............

What a lovely clean city is what back then. Don't even try to tell me it's a better place today. I guess it was a Super8 film? I saw a Bedford van like my dad had so I'm guessing 1962.

Just think in another few years it might look like that again when people can no longer afford to buy fuel.
I'd imagine not everyone could afford a car back then and women were still at home cooking and not driving.

no yellow lines, minimal estate agents boards, hell in a handcart springs to mind

Tell Mr Cholmondley Warner that I will be along a week next Thursday in my Commer Cob, to fettle his Ascot. Make sure that there is someone to open the tradesmens' entrance.

It's like a scene from 28 days later

I love the complete lack of confusing road signs and hardly any distracting road markings either

We need to find out where it is and compare it today. The only thing I can pick out is a branch of Martins Bank at 2:06. There is a web resource for Martins Bank, but not all the London locations have an external image

I think they'd better delete the whole thread in case somebody sees all those white people walking around London.

Just an observation would the ones you are not allowed to mention be actually driving the buses.

joe-90 · 13 Nov 2011

Which ones are they?

No chavs, no litter and certainly none of the other
