Vintage UK news footage

British Pathe, a UK digital news archive, delivers a mother lode of vintage footage much of which is incredible news film from the 1960's. And that means lots of great coverage of the youth culture. Below are but a few examples - click thru on each picture to view each video. Hopefully, someone like Paul Gorman will be able to add some perspective to this time machine. Once you you click thru, there are many choices as to where you go next, and it's definitely worth some time if you're interested in the UK, youth culture history, fashion, photography, etc, etc...
