Welcome to our website about Classic British Films. Here we will present
a personal view of British cinema from it's beginings in the 1900's right through to the 1950's.
Why no further? Well this is a personal view and as such, the period and the people and
studios covered are the ones we are most interested in.
NOTE: The site is being worked on as time allows. However, since this is a hobby and
not a commercial endeavour changes may be slow in being forthcoming.
