Summary: Lille.
Description: 'THE TOWN OF LILLE: The ruined appearance of the Manchester of France gives an idea of what would happen to English towns if the Germans were able to land in England'. Four shots, taken from a high angle, of parts of the town. The "ruins" referred to in the intertitle are scarcely in evidence; indeed, the town hardly looks ruined at all.
