Crazy that most of the people in this footage have passed.

Has it ever occurred to you that none of the people in the footage ever saw this footage.

Those were the days! Good times!!

It was more British than Britain. People dressed up to go see a film. East London was like UK 1920s

Lived in Durban as a child in 63 to 67 we emigrated there and I absolutely loved it beautiful city I'm 70 now and would love to go back to see it again
