just the odd darky

Don't be daft, he cannot be that old.

I remember somebody telling me that modern AI systems were capable these
days of taking those very old movies that ran at slow frame rates and making
them look smoother and in some cases in colour. IE as long as they knew the
placement of every pixel in each frame, it could add 'tweened' frames in
between. Also if somebody coloured all the objects and the light source was
known, then really reasonable colour rendition was possible. Of course this
was not instant, it could take a very long time to do it, but nonetheless
it has been done with historical footage.
To my mind though, what are we seeing here? I guess you could argue that
tweening was reasonably accurate, but colour? Nobody was probably still
alive from those days to know if it was right or not.

24 Square Miles

The film was commissioned in October 1945 but grew out of a survey
carried out in 1943 by the Oxford Agricultural Economics Research Institute.
The study was based on 24 square miles of north Oxfordshire to the
southwest of Banbury.

Here is a rather clever bit of film:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spwjGDcQKwA

"A digital reconstruction of Eldon Street, in Barnsley town
centre, in the 1960s, showing how the street has changed.
Featuring views of the Victorian Arcade, Barnsley Market, the
Civic and the Odeon cinema (now the Parkway). Created by Dextra
Visual working with Barnsley Museums and Archives as part of the
Eldon Street High Street Heritage Action Zone, with support from
Barnsley U3A. With additional thanks to the Tasker Trust for the
use of their wonderful collection of historic images of Barnsley
Streets."

It is much closer to my mental picture of Barnsley than what
exists now.

Pretty much how it was here. No mention of using prisoners of war for
agricultural labour. We had both Italians and Germans. They were very
kind to us kids.
Big change was London overspill housing in the early '50's.

Ray Gosling, who later fronted a section in the Granada local news
magazine which I think was called "On Site".

Never saw one in the town where I grew up (pop 50,000).

I remember it very well, I see there were several cars I had at the time.
