The Wards of Woolwich (1951)

Follow
LondonsScreenArchive

Experience the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich through this creative municipal film. Accompany a couple in costume on their journey around Woolwich, highlighting various services provided by the town. See children playing in a charming park, engineers undertaking road works, and people in the swimming baths. Stay tuned to the end when the couple take a picturesque walk through the grounds of Well Hall Pleasaunce, Eltham, on the way to the theatre. While it was made as a sound film, the original soundtrack was too technically difficult to transfer.

This film is among the interesting collection of the Greenwich Heritage Centre. (The full catalogue record for this film, LSA/0244, is available at www.londonsscreenarchives.org.uk).
