THE LONDONERS

FIFTY YEARS AGO the London County Council was born. To celebrate a jubilco unique in municipal history the L.C.C. was presented with a documentary film of London's history, "The Londoners”.

Made by the Realist Film Unit, it tells vividly the story of London's mighty growth from aqualor and chaos and misery to order and health and controlled progress.

It is London's story, produced by a Londoner, 24-year-old John Taylor, and featuring the Londoner. These stills from the film show a contury of London's history.

“Strawant a rough board made the “bed” for London's honicles

a century ago. To-day a humane administration Urings sympathy and help to the loss fortunate.

Modern schools, where teaching methods move with the times and the most recent apparatus is providvil, have replaced the grim, windowless classrooms against which Dickens cant puigned.
