The series of films featuring the re-discovered work of amateur cameramen and ' home-movie' makers of the 20s and 30s.
Introduced by James Cameron
Tonight half a dozen amateur cameramen portray the life and times of a particular corner of England in the 30s. Sailing barges on the Thames and Medway link the Kentish hopfields where cockney London worked in autumn, the Southend beaches where they went for summer holidays and, up river in Lambeth, the mean streets in which they often lived.
