Sandow Plus Website Videos

This is a temporary page (sans artwork etc.) with an assorted collection of videos to download.

Be warned - some of them are quite big.

The wmv files which are from the British Pathe Website www.britishpathe.com (all copyrights firmly acknowledged) are free low resolution preview copies.
Some of them are of significant historic interest featuring the likes of Thomas Inch, W.A. Pullum, Edward Aston
& Warren Lincoln Travis for instance.
Others are more lighthearted and very typical of the British Newsreel style. For those not in the know Pathe along with British Movietonews and Gaumont British News produced newsreels and 'gazettes' and were in production from 1910 right through to 1970.

British Pathe have digitised 3,500 hours of videos - most of which can be viewed from their website. I urge you to visit it.

Some of the other videos now available on this page have been copied from VHS tape (Otto Arco for instance),
provided personally (Tony Holland), or sourced from elsewhere (Sandow, Treloar etc.)
