'Hello! Wintertime'
Pedestrians hustle briskly through a snowy George Square in Glasgow, while others stop to gawk at a stricken carthorse.
Overview
A blanket of snow can make a familiar landscape beautifully alien for a day or two, bringing a quiet peace to Glasgowβs George Square in this film. Yet the sludge and slush on busier streets taints the times as grey and bleak. February 1929 was particularly cold: these scenes of frozen Glasgow were taken for the local edition of newsreel Topical Budget, replacing scenes of βArctic Londonβ.
