1920's London Street video

This has just come up on my Facebook feed posted by an old friend.
It gives me some ideas of how the streets may have looked around the time I am researching.

What London looked like in 1927

 - it really helps that this video is in colour as it gives me a little bit more detail of what the decade was like
 - clothing obviously different now
 - a lot of traffic 
 - very busy on the streets, full of people and very quick moving 
 - family orientated images
 - noisey
 - no traffic lights or street signs/road markings

Reflection of research

This was just something I had sent to me, i thought it would really help me understand what happened in the decade as it shows how public life was. It shows the city and how busy it is and also how much life has changed in ways such as fashion and road safety. Even though its only a small page, it did make me think more about the life of the people rather than just what England looked like. This helped me move forward in my research.
