  • 2006/074
  • The Briars seemed to have purchased their camera and started filming from 1955, following their move to Kenya. This collection contains a considerable amount of domestic footage of their children, taken at their home in Kenya, and also of their travels around that country, and through the neighbouring countries of Uganda and Tanganyika (Tanzania). Included are landscapes, wildlife, shots taken at educational/training centres such as the Kabianga Agricultural centre, and brief footage of the Nairobi Show of 1960. There is also footage of holidays spent in Europe and the UK.

  • Arthur Bloodgood Briars
  • Arthur Bloodgood Briars was born on 20 December 1918 at Headington, Oxfordshire. By 1939 he was living in Yorkshire where he married Jacqueline Davies. Briars joined the civil service, and from the 1950s worked for the colonial service in East Africa. At first the Briars were living in Nyasaland, and then moved to Kenya during the mid 1950s to early 1960s. At some point, Briars was appointed as a visiting justice to the Kabianga Prison in Kericho District, Kenya. The couple had 2 daughters and a son.
