Various locations of events.
In the United States of America we see several shots of men playing horseshoe pitching at a special enclosure. They are competing for the National Championships. Jimmy Risk is one of the players we see. Ted Allen, wearing a shirt labelled 'World's Champion', wins the title - as he throws his horseshoes a man puts his head and hand on the post they land around - yikes! Each one is spot on.
In Stocksfield on Tyne, Northumberland, we see a little girl called Mary Ann having some friends round for tea at her concrete wendy house. It seems to have been built next to her family's house in the garden. Through the window we see her pouring tea for another little girl. Nice shot of Mary Ann looking out of a window at us.
In the South of France we see crowds gathering to watch canoe stunter Bertrand jump from the top of a sluice wall to the waters foaming through the sluice gates 30 feet below. Bertrand comes walking along, carrying his canoe on his head. He climbs over the top of the wall and jumps into the water with the canoe. For a moment we cannot see him, but he soon resurfaces among the rapid water, gets into his canoe and paddles along. (Wow!)
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
