This short clip from the collection of Reverend Harold Allen captures views of Stormont in the late 1930s, possibly 1936 or 1937. This footage was shot by Reverend Allen's uncle, Tom Clawson.  Europe was on the cusp of World War Two. During the War, Stormont was famously daubed in bitumen and manure to camouflage it in protection from German blitz attacks. Details of the building and statue of Carson are captured, as well as a smiling doorman. Some shots of Stormont Castle are also visible towards the end of the reel. Tom Clawson is visible towards the end of the video, filmed by then 15-year-old Harold - a nascent moment for the budding photographer. Reverend Allen then takes a turn in front of the camera and doffs his school cap to the viewer.
