Barbican 1969, clip 3 - rush hour on London Streets, Cannon St and Fenchurch St...

Clip 3 from a film commissioned by the City of London Corporation to promote the Barbican development scheme. Shots include busy rush hour scenes, commuters crossing London Bridge; Cannon Street and Fenchurch Street stations; City workers wearing bowler and top hats; traffic on roads, interior shots of Guildhall. The focus of the film is to explain how the new scheme will 'bring life back into the heart of the City'. The film explains that the City (the Square Mile) is no longer a residential area and underlines the point by showing empty streets at the weekend. The new Barbican development scheme is introduced and the viewer is invited to explore interiors of the new flats.
