I've been introduced to this lovely collection of very short vintage films by my wonderful friend Ting-Jen (Thank you Ting-Jen!), I had to share with you.
"In 1924 Claude Friese-Greene embarked on an intrepid road trip from Land's End to John O'Groats and recorded his journey on film, using an experimental colour process."

Thank you everyone for your comments, I am glad you enjoyed them :)
I love old video footage!
Well, that's quite amazing... Strangely feels like some recent movie taking place in the 20's.
Made me think of D.H Lawrence's books.
I especially loved the beach footage.
