Kingstonian (Kingston upon Thames) born and bred. South West London these days but in my youth county town of Surrey. Is the kettle on?

Hi Miss H, Glad you enjoyed it. As it happens I was in Twickenham today and what is surprising is how recognisable, even after 80 yrs, so much of it is from this film, particularly if you look up above the modern shopfronts to the first floors and above. This is true of so much of the British...
