ayresorchids Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Might it have been one of the MGM TravelTalks shorts, made by James A. FitzPatrick in the 1930s and '40s? "And so, to Merry Olde England, we reluctantly say, Farewell..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomagain77 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hey Toady.....the 3 I've seen over the years are: Looking at London - 1946 - 10 mins Plot Summary: This Traveltalks short looks at London as it rebuilds after World War II. Featured are views of Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, and the destruction caused by the bombing of areas surrounding St. Paul's Cathedral. They?ll Always Be An England - 20 mins Plot Summary: This travelog starts in London, then visits several towns and villages of historical interest. Among the places visited are Aylesbury, where Benjamin Disraeli got his start in politics; Abinger Hammer, site of the Church of St. John the Evangelist; and Chalfont, St. Giles, where the cottage in which poet John Milton finished his epic "Paradise Lost" still stands. The people are also featured, including farmers, town merchants, and furniture makers who still produce items by hand in their outdoor factory. Glimpses Of Old England - 1949 - 9 mins Plot Summary: The first half of this Traveltalks visit to the southwestern region of the United Kingdom is spent in the Cotswold Hills area. We see many examples of the stone architecture for which this region is justly famous. There is even a miniature village built to look like one might have looked centuries ago. We take a ride on the Wye River and see the many types of boats used. After a visit to Tintern Abbey in Wales, its off to Laycock Abbey in Wiltshire, England. It is here that William Henry Fox Talbot invented photography in the 1830's. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
