  • When Stanley Joseph began at UCL in 1947, the university was still reeling from the Blitz, which ended 69 years ago this month.

    To document student life and the university's reconstruction, Stanley founded the UCL Film Society, a student society that is still going strong today.

    Here he reflects on London during the Blitz and how student life continued after the War. 

    The film features a soundtrack by John Dankworth, courtesy of Audio Network.
