From the camera of Nelson Stoudt, grocer and amateur cinematographer, today we bring you some scenes of Lansdale and Montgomeryville at Christmas and during the winter.

Stoudt owned a small grocery store and gas station at the northeast corner of the Five Points intersection in Montgomeryville back in the late 1930's. When he was not busy tending his shop, he recorded the local scene with a movie camera, and turned the footage into a series of newsreels.

Today we bring you some night scenes of downtown Lansdale, and although cameras were not as good with low-light shooting as they are today, you can still see some of the lights, the Lansdale Christmas tree and the marquis of the Lansdale Theater.

After that you will see some winter weather in Montgomerville, including shots of snow plows at Five Points, which was a much small intersection (though no less confusing) back then.

Finally you will see some color footage of kids enjoying the snow in Montgomeryville.
