Bobbie Bobster Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Came across this story on Engadget of all places. 3,500 hours of footage from 1896 to 1976. Digitised courtesy of a National Lottery grant and recently uploaded. A quick search on "Isle of Man" unearthed this gem: This resource could be a serious time waster over the next few weeks...

Mission Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've seen some of the old Pathé films on the beeb in the recent past and often thought how ace it would be to have access to more, that's a fantastic resource and I'll definitely be dipping into it for sure, thanks for sharing.

Stu Peters Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Love the old-style narration. Half expect Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield to pop up at any time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven ! Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It's a few years old but this one is a nice antithesis of the silky nostalgia of British Pathé: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2bad Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Love the old-style narration. Half expect Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield to pop up at any time... Do you mean working up Manx Radio or watching these old films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
