Hi Andy, personal interest really. I was born and raised in London and my entire family worked on the docks at one time or another. I used to love exploring all the redeveloped areas when I lived there. I live in Sheffield now and these clips made me a little nostalgic. I might see if I can get a copy from the Museum. Thank you :)
@@wickedpuma6331 Glad to hear it is being used for education. Other people have copied the film and posted it. So you can see the full film - 50 minutes - by searching Battle for Docklands on UA-cam. Thanks for letting me know and your interest. AH
I would love to see the complete film. I remember the hopelessness and dereliction, especially in the Surrey Docks which had lain derelict for over 10 years. It goes to show that having no master plan is the best way. Even today, local authorities dream up their master plans just like the 60s, and you know that in 35-40 years they'll have to start again. Is this film for sale? I'd love a complete copy
+Alan Peters Hi Alan, The Docklands Museum has a copy - in fact it owns the copyright and will charge for viewing. But I too have a copy. What do you want it for? For any kind of use or just interest? Best wishes Andy
My father, a Stevedore down West India & Millwall, walks right through the camera at 3m 30 secs. Living to be 83, this is how I remember him growing up in Shadwell, not how he was later in life. Does anyone know what year the march took place? 1955-65 is my best guess.
Hello Steven, My guess would be early 60s judging by the image quality- looks like 35mm which is what newsreels were before they switched to 16mm, even tho 16mm was around much earlier. It is a library shot but I can't recall which library but it would have been British Movietone or Pathe. I can't easily see the end credits but the full film is available on UA-cam title - Battle For Docklands. The BFI might also help as I think it owns the old newsreels. Good luck and thanks for your interest. Best wishes.

+Alan Peters Hi alan,
Can you send an email to andyhumphreys.is@gmail.com. It's easier that via UA-cam.
The film was made as a legacy film for the LDDC that closed in 1997 - the year the film was made.
Thanks for your interest.

Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Andy, don't suppose you know where a copy of the full film for this is available?
+Alan Peters Hi Alan,

+Andy Humphreys I think it's here on the London Screen Archive: www.londonsscreenarchives.org.uk/public/details.php?id=2691
Alan Peters I work at the Museum Of London and if you haven't been there (Docklands), go visit. It's absolutely wonderfully retold :)

A lot has change in the last 10 years
who is here for e learning
It's not the video - it's the historic shots of London, Beside the video of Ayrton Senna was copied so it's not so stupid
The gal at 2:54 is Wallis Simpson - Prince Edward's love of great price.
No, the person is HRH Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother when she visited the blitzed East End.
