This video clip is from a company called “British Pathé,” on whose website you can “view and buy films and still photographs from the entire archive of 90,000 videos covering newsreel, sports footage, social history documentaries, entertainment, and music stories from 1896 to 1976.” Most of the films are for sale (rather than being available for free viewing online), but you can watch short clips of each one online.
I can’t actually embed the video here, but you can watch it on this British Pathé web page.
