The British Library have a collection of archive footage on a wide range of subjects. Included is some of Siren’s archive footage from the documentary Woodbine Place. Michael Rosen has included these two classic siren clips in his article ‘An introduction to pretend play’.
Rosen has also chosen some fascinating clips from 40s and 50s post war Britain. Amazing to see how much the physical and social landscape has changed for present day children. The amount of freedom the children in these videos are allowed is evidently a marked difference for the majority of children’s play time today.
