Barclays Bank's London HQ adapts to wartime banking, as a keen amateur filmmaker records staff at work, rest and play.

This unique insight into Barclays' Lombard Street head office shows a close-knit staff at work, rest and play (not to mention breakfast, lunch and dinner) trying to keep the books straight beneath the Blitz.
