Came across this fantastic resource - the British Council film archive.
Several things caught my eye but this potted history of Architects of England was quite interesting:

What is really interesting is the cultural perspective you get from the film, never once acknowledging the external sources of these ‘styles’ (and even using phrases such as ‘Stylistic invasion’). It’s all very Pevsner…
But, if you remember the histo-cultural filter, it’s quite interesting.
