Quite a few gems at Newsfilm Online, though they can take a while to download - the Crystal Palace fire, the Hindenburg disaster, a blackshirt rally, a supposedly 131-year-old woman in 1938 and so on.
Best of all is a (ten-minute?) piece on How Cinema Newsreels Are Made - evidently compiled by Mr Grayson with the help of Mr Cholmondeley-Warner.
Also liked this report on the 1987 general election, with a number of today's well known faces displaying their puppy fat. Keep your eyes peeled for a very young Oliver Letwin (the reporter doesn’t identify him) being defeated by Diane Abbott at Hackney.
