This 1930s film captures life in countryside on the cusp of change.
The coming of the motorcar, radio, telephone and with them 'new ideas & expectations from the city' would see a centuries old way of life change for better or worse.
The first in a series of films part 1 captures all aspects of life in a village. From having a pint and a natter and setting the world to rights in the local village pub, to village green politics and a wonderful conversation with old timer questioning the "need for a bath when he has a perfectly good river at the end of the garden"

The pubs are all closing. The telephone boxes have disappeared. The village green is now a car park and the pot holes are getting bigger .

We destroyed the pubs with cheap supermarket alcohol, and breweries charging high rents. We killed off phone boxes too, as we all have mobile phones.

I think people had more humble things to really look forward to in the lesser material world, you can get close to that feeling, visit an old village on a bicycle for a day, reminisce take your time, add something unpasteurised as a token to your visit, like plant a small rosebush in the village church grounds or the village green, then have lunch at a local fete or church cafe, im sure you would connect somehow with the days past.

I believe some of the shots were taken in Finchingfield Essex. I have a photo of my great grandfather, who was a stockman on a farm in the village, sitting outside The Fox pub having a beer with his mates. Probably taken around the time the film was made. I'm sure he would have known some of the individuals in the clip.

It wasn't much different to this, in villages and small towns throughout the UK till early/mid 60s. Today, the multiple everyday choices that everybody has to consider just makes life much more complicated/difficult imho, unfortunately! I thought that technology was supposed to enlighten our lives - perhaps, not as ultimately the case may be!

This was filmed in Finchingfield in Essex. My earliest known ancestors come from here and I can trace them back to 1709. It does make one wonder if some of the villagers in this film could also be my ancestors.

@Fintoman

It is Finchingfield Essex. The pub is still there and thriving. If you look on Google maps, you'll easily find the pub. Instantly recognisable and still identified by many of the exact same features as shown in the film. In particular, the bracket carrying the pubs sign is the same. Many of the other village landmarks and features are still there. The windmill, church, memorial on the green to name a few. My grandfather and many relatives on my father's mother's side were from Finchingfield. I have a old photo of my Grandfather sitting on that very bench shown in the film outside The Fox having a pint with his mates. I feel sure he would of known some of the individuals in the clip. Looks to be around the same time.
