"Going to the Seaside? Try collecting shells" C/U of a huge shell held in a man's arms. It is a clam shell I think. M/S of shelves containing bottles of shells. "When you get them home, they'll keep you busy for hours - making them up into novel and useful articles for the home." C/U of a man making something from a sea urchin shell. He is smoking a pipe as he works. C/U of his objets d'art which has a starfish, sea horses and shells stuck around a base. It is quite groovy! C/U of him sticking two shells together then sticking a sea horse onto the side.
"If you're more particular, get them electro-plated." M/S of a man dipping a shell into a bath of liquid for electroplating. "Just glance at these - and only shells!" C/U of a dish and a spoon made from shells. Various other items made from shells are presented to the camera including a nice pot with a lid made from sea urchins. Tiny little shell bowls are shown. The last item shown is a large shiny shell bowl with feet made of other shells and a sea horse on the side. I like it!

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.
10 telling images selected from British Pathé's extensive WWI footage. 'The war to end all wars' was a war without parallel: over 70 million military personnel were involved and over 17 million people died.
British Pathé filmed the 20th Century's biggest names, some of them before they even became famous. Click through and guess who these soon-to-be celebrities were when first captured by our cameras.
Private UFOs, flying bicycles, motorised wheels - Pathe's archive is awash with fabulous films of canny and creative transport inventions.Take a look at some of the more unusual but ingenious ideas that people have had to beat the traffic.
