The church is probably the part of the town that looks the same now as it did then!

Are all ye boardsies reminiscing on the past now or what?

Excellant! Shame there is no additional information. When you think what was happening at the same time elsewhere in Europe, its kind of bizarre.

Hi - re the 1938 footage of Hollybrook House - if you click on 'more info' there are some notes about the film.
