At Swan Corner

The greengrocer, the housewife and the local bobby all feature in this delightfully busy film of South East London.

From early morning, see the inhabitants of West Wickham go about their routines on a sunny day. In just a few short hours we glimpse the activities of this community: delivering milk; waiting for the school bus; collecting for charity and keeping the streets safe. This amateur film is a colourful celebration of everyday life, where no one is too ordinary to be featured.

This film is from Bromley Historic Collections, a member of the London's Screen Archives Network.
