NOSTALGIC footage showing how London used to be almost 100-years-ago has resurfaced this week. The video, which dates from 1918, records some of the capital???s most famous landmarks as well as documenting the day-to-day lives of Londoners. It was filmed some months before the end of World War One by American traveller, Elias Burton Holmes, who documented many of his journeys abroad, later holding lectures and screening films to paying audiences. Among the landmarks, many of which were captured as a moving image for the very first time are iconic buildings such as the Houses of Parliament, Windsor Castle and Tower Bridge. Others include St. Paul???s Cathedral, Big Ben and Downing Street which interestingly was then unprotected as opposed to the big black gates we are accustomed to it hiding behind today. mediadrumworld.com
