Archive newsreel shows the British Speed Skating Championships being held on a frozen Bury Fen in Cambridgeshire 75 years ago. Hundreds of people gathered to watch the action on what was described as a "fine day" for the race. Participants are seen, in the silent footage, skating at high-speed along tracks in the ice, with BBC archive records noting George Welham won the main event, the Duddlestone Cup race over 4 miles (6.5km).
