Reel News – Which Is The Coldest Job?

Winter is upon us with the first big freeze keeping the road police busy in Northern Ireland, but what was it like for people with cold jobs in the Golden Twenties? The News on Screen/Newsfilm Online Crosslinking Project has located some ‘raw’ material showing jobs we no longer see on our screens today. Form your own conclusions as to which was the coldest!

See the high-quality download of Gaumont Graphic’s newsreel story, ‘WHICH IS THE COLDEST JOB?’, available to UK HE/FE subscribers at Newsfilm Online, or view it on the ITN Source website.
