Interesting....

Only one film of Birmingham, which is silent, but great for a lot of the imagery,... especially the clothes (Coppers especially).

Couldn't find it at first until i took the 'g' out of the name. The site is: https://www.youtube.com/user/BrianTrenerryArchive#p/u

The Birmingham one is certainly of interest in 1935 https://www.youtube.com/user/BrianTrenerryArchive#p/u/10/nKAf9n911bY Lots of flag waving for some reason. Street scenes with trams, buses and other vehicles. Not sure where though. What road was Kean and Scott Ltd Furniture Store? Possibly Corporation Street?

Could the flag waving be for King George V's Silver Jubilee on 6th May?

Wonderful "Birmingham 1935" film! Full of historical interest, not least public transport: a couple of new Midland Red FEDDs (Front Entrance Double Deckers), Birmingham Corporation trams and buses, one of W Hunter's "De-Luxe Coaches" (can't quite make out the address). Thanks for the link!

The shop was in Corporation Street, I worked in the Accounts Office in 1966 which was in Blucher Street.
