British Pathé.

This clip above is about a Dale Cavana men's fashion show in London in 1951.

Fagburn also enjoyed Soho Goes Gay from 1955 - made before that perfectly nice word was stolen, though some of these local characters look rather intriguing.



'But that's Soho, where you meet someone different every few yards!'

I'll let you know if I come across any more gems.

There goes the weekend...
