Britain

A travelogue of the North Cornwall coast featuring views of Porth, Allen Valley, Trevose Head, Prideaux Place, Padstow, Wadebridge, St.Teath and Boscastle.

Through the lenses of the newsreel cameras and advertising of the time, we present an affectionate look back at the changing face of Great Britain from the 1940s through to the 'Swinging Sixties'. Take a voyage back in time and experience one of the most exciting periods in the history of the United Kingdom, brought to life once more through incredible archive footage.

How the 1948 Olympic Games came into being, as the world struggled to cope in the aftermath of the Second World War, and the Games were held for the first time in 12 years. With Britain in the midst of widespread poverty and rationing, hosting the event seemed unlikely, but existing venues were renovated despite a low budget and little time to play with, and the British people pulled together to make the Games a success.
