British Pathe Films

Between 1900-1970 British Pathe made 1000's of films. Those old enough will remember British Pathe News, which was shown at cinemas in the 1960's. You can visit the website and search for almost any topic. I found a couple of interesting films about squash. You might say they are the cause of the public attitude to the sport... For those good with figures watch the second film.

Warning. These previews last 5 minutes but unless you have FAST office links or cable, downloading will require a fair amount of patience.

Any problems downloading the films?
