Not sure whether it is of interest but Pathe News have a website of newsreels going back many a year, for free, on britishpathe.com
Just enter your town and see the footage. Possibly very interesting for football enthusiasts but there are some newsreels of local events which may be interesting to people of the town.-jl

This is a fascinating site. Wanted to nudge (and sorry to Janet for sending her a message by mistake). Glassy-eyed from watching Pathe clips..
