BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.

A stunning documentary. Fabulous. A modern travelogue would be very different. As in so much else, I feel that the antique is superior. Some things are better these days. We have superior mattresses, heating/air conditioning, budget clothing, varied food (the benefits of modern cuisine can scarcely be over-rated in my opinion!) but many things were better then. Travelogue newsreels are among the wonders we have lost. IMHO.

[@emmakrueger7142]

Loved watching this. Wish I could experience the unflawed beautiful of the isle in this time ( not that it isn't any less beautiful now!). I want to go to an old wishing well!!

[@karinelder7877]

[@cozener845]

Nice little shot in time.

[@Obtaineudaimonia]

Beautiful place

[@jerseydevs2000]

It looks like quite the pleasant and idyllic place to visit... a place that would become one of most dangerous places in the world less than a decade after this film was made.

[@arcane_whim]

Bosnia has same fate as Northern Ireland, but Sarajevo was just way much worse than Belfast.

I have been the first Somali ever lived in Bangor, Near Belfast. although Ireland is so small there is dialect difference between the north and southern Ireland.

[@szymongorczynski7621]

When we were a homogeneous people ( goodbye to all that ) and a man went fishing in a suit, starched collar and tie.

[@WhatChaMaCalum]

Such a shame the two populations where set against each other.

[@RobertK1993]

[@CaptainX2012]

This is Northern Ireland. It isn't exactly Ireland, it is a part of the UK but on the same island as the country of Ireland. It's culture is mixture of English, Scottish and Irish.
