England, The Great North Road in 1939 [further enhanced]

This film follows the old road up North from London. Many towns have now been bypassed by the A1. According to a viewer, this journey is largely still do-able, although most of it would not be as easy to follow as the A1 route shown here. You'd need to deviate on to the A1000, the A507, the A6001 and A606 amongst others, then make further deviations on to now-unclassified or B-roads through town centres.
The road leaves London and passes through towns like Biggleworth, Stamford.
The barrage balloon at the beginning of the film is a give-away that this film was shot just before the beginning of WW-II in 1939.

Sophisticated software was used to generate the missing frames in order to slow down the video and still retain perfect motion.

Please refrain from making comments about the influx of other nationals into the UK. Yes England has changed, but so has the entire world. Hatred spreading comments will be removed. Just enjoy the images of how the UK was 81+ years ago...
