Original 35mm Pathé-Journal Safety Film Print – Oxford Cambridge – c. 1952

Oxford–Cambridge rowing / Boat Race footage
football played in a large stadium
large crowds and spectators
period sporting and newsreel scenes
The imagery is consistent with sporting events from approximately 1952. The 1952 Oxford–Cambridge Boat Race took place on 29 March 1952, in difficult winter conditions with snow along the Thames. �
