Would You Believe It? No. 6 (1934)

Titles read: “Would you believe it? No. 6. Queer things the world over.“ Various locations of events. In Surrey we see a female town crier at work (we don’t hear her, unfortunately). In London we see Stratford Common which is only 1 foot square. A commemorative stone marks the area. Shots of the library and technical institute nearby. In the village of Sturminster-Newton in Dorset we see a car driving over a bridge. An ancient notice warns that anyone damaging the bridge is liable to transportation for life. At Oxted in Surrey we see an old lifeboat parked outside a house in a residential area. The owner’s dogs walk up the gangplank and stand on the top of the boat. On a train on the north east coast of England we see a businessman speaking into a Dictaphone. His typist collects the cylinders, takes them into the compartment next door and types his letters. She then takes them back to her boss to be signed. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRI
