Before the Titanic and before World War I. Those 8 year old boys that went wading were just waiting to be slaughtered in Europe in 10 years.

Glad everybody there could enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon off on a rare rainless day in London.

I like the guy in the big hat and mustache at :43 mugging for the camera. Must have been the first time he'd ever seen one and he instinctively knew what to do.

Those kegs on the dray must have been salt cod or herring? The air quality looked horrible...... the overhead at .55 sure was a smokey affair.....no wonder that lady was rubbing her eyes.

I'll be looking for the rest of the tape to be released.
