A new exhibition at the Albury LibraryMuseum features recently digitised film showcasing Albury and beyond from the 1930’s - 1950’s.
Finding Doctor Woods: His Films of Albury and Beyond contains footage captured on 8mm film by well-known local Dr Leslie Samuel ‘Sam’ Woods (1896-1986).
Moments captured in the collection include Albury’s Dean Street in 1938, life at ‘Valetta’ (the Woods’ house on Swift Street), pre-war Europe including buildings and monuments which were later destroyed, Germany on the eve of World War II… and more.
