On the last day of 1770, youngster Jonathan Blake (Freddie Bartholomew) overhears two sailors discussing something suspicious in his aunt's ale-house in a Norfolk fishing village. He persuades his more respectable best friend, Horatio Nelson (Douglas Scott), to sneak aboard the sailors' ship with him. They overhear a plot involving insurance fraud. When Jonathan decides to warn the insurers, Horatio cannot accompany him, because that same day he is invited to join the Royal Navy as a midshipman. Jonathan walks all the way to London to Lloyd's Coffee House, where the insurers conduct their business. Mr. Angerstein (Guy Standing), the head of one of the syndicates that make up Lloyd's of London, listens to him. Instead of a monetary reward, Jonathan asks to work at Lloyd's as a waiter. Angerstein teaches him that news, "honestly acquired and honestly shared," is the lifeblood of the insurance industry.

Lloyd's Coffee House (1960)
Lloyd's Coffee House was a coffee shop in London originally on Tower Street in around 1688. The coffehouse was a popular place for sailors, merchants and shipowners. While drinking coffee they got the news on shipping and goods from Mr. Lloyd.
Various M/Ss of exteriors of modern buildings in London; Castrol building in Marylebone Road; an unidentified one, possibly in Berners Street, with an interesting corrugated canopy above it; Sanderson building in Berners Street - all are "somewhat characterless" as the commentator says. M/Ss of the Lloyd's of London building in the City; it looks fairly modern, not sure when it was built, but it does have much more character than the flat glass-fronted buildings we saw previously.

LLOYDS OF LONDON AND SLAVERY: THE LASTING LEGACY
Slavery was maintained by established business sectors. One name that is consistently mentioned is Lloyds of London. This video gives an overview of the role played by Lloyds and other organizations in sustaining slavery. The question is, is it time for reparations?
Prof. Hilary Beckles states, “Unfortunately, one cannot go back and remake the history, but you can make atonement: it is not enough to make your apology as a public spectacle, it is not enough to present it as public relations exercise." This video gives you an insight into present-day organizations’ role in slavery and what is required for atonement.

Lloyd's Coffee House was a coffee shop in London originally on Tower Street in around 1688. The coffehouse was a popular place for sailors, merchants and shipowners. While drinking coffee they got the news on shipping and goods from Mr. Lloyd.
Various M/Ss of exteriors of modern buildings in London; Castrol building in Marylebone Road; an unidentified one, possibly in Berners Street, with an interesting corrugated canopy above it; Sanderson building in Berners Street - all are "somewhat characterless" as the commentator says. M/Ss of the Lloyd's of London building in the City; it looks fairly modern, not sure when it was built, but it does have much more character than the flat glass-fronted buildings we saw previously.
M/S of a recreation of Lloyd's Coffee House in London as it looked when it opened in 1688; a man carries in a sack of coffee beans; another sweeps the paving stones outside; two gentlemen approach the entrance and go in - all are wearing 1680s costume; the two gents wear curly wigs and tricorn hats. M/Ss inside the coffee house as the men stand at the bar and watch a grinning serving wench grind some coffee beans; a serving man drawers some hot water from a large copper urn in the fireplace into one of a row of copper coffee pots.
Commentator tells us "Edward Lloyd catered for ships' captains and merchants... he even started an intelligence-cum-news service, dispatching runners to the docks to fetch the latest shipping news...he also held auctions...let's listen", and we see in M/S a gentleman sitting at a table with a younger man; a serving man brings their coffee and we hear natural sound as the older one explains the candle auction process to the younger. The property being auctioned goes to the man who bids last before the candle goes out.
M/S of a blackboard in the coffee house; written on it are details of a ship 'For Sale by Inch of Candle'. M/Ss of men, some smoking clay pipes, sitting at tables who bid for the ship (in natural sound) intercut with C/Us of a candle about to go out. One of the men bids 1200 guineas just before the candle goes out. M/S of the scene inside the coffee house as the owner calls out "Sold to Mr Durant for 1200 guineas".
Commentator says "Because of this concentration of captains and merchants, the insurance brokers of the time began going here instead of from office to office", and we see in various M/Ss and hear in natural sound an insurance broker going from table to table discussing insurance of a ship called 'The Worcester'. He exchanges greetings and obtains the signatures of two men, shakes hands with the second one and walks out of the coffee house.
Note: print used for transfer; mute neg is incomplete. The documentary 'This Is Lloyd's' (see separate record) contains footage that was probably shot at the same time as this reconstruction of 1688 (same sets, costumes etc).

Slavery was maintained by established business sectors. One name that is consistently mentioned is Lloyds of London. This video gives an overview of the role played by Lloyds and other organizations in sustaining slavery. The question is, is it time for reparations?
Prof. Hilary Beckles states, “Unfortunately, one cannot go back and remake the history, but you can make atonement: it is not enough to make your apology as a public spectacle, it is not enough to present it as public relations exercise." This video gives you an insight into present-day organizations’ role in slavery and what is required for atonement.

Blake is in love with an aristocratic woman whose husband seriously injures him. Blake's friendship with Lord Nelson provides the basis for Blake's part in the growth of Lloyd's insurance business following the Battle of Trafalgar. Only very slightly based on history.
Lloyd's Coffee House was a coffee shop in London originally on Tower Street in around 1688. The coffehouse was a popular place for sailors, merchants and shipowners. While drinking coffee they got the news on shipping and goods from Mr. Lloyd.
Various M/Ss of exteriors of modern buildings in London; Castrol building in Marylebone Road; an unidentified one, possibly in Berners Street, with an interesting corrugated canopy above it; Sanderson building in Berners Street - all are "somewhat characterless" as the commentator says. M/Ss of the Lloyd's of London building in the City; it looks fairly modern, not sure when it was built, but it does have much more character than the flat glass-fronted buildings we saw previously.
M/S of a recreation of Lloyd's Coffee House in London as it looked when it opened in 1688; a man carries in a sack of coffee beans; another sweeps the paving stones outside; two gentlemen approach the entrance and go in - all are wearing 1680s costume; the two gents wear curly wigs and tricorn hats. M/Ss inside the coffee house as the men stand at the bar and watch a grinning serving wench grind some coffee beans; a serving man drawers some hot water from a large copper urn in the fireplace into one of a row of copper coffee pots.
Commentator tells us "Edward Lloyd catered for ships' captains and merchants... he even started an intelligence-cum-news service, dispatching runners to the docks to fetch the latest shipping news...he also held auctions...let's listen", and we see in M/S a gentleman sitting at a table with a younger man; a serving man brings their coffee and we hear natural sound as the older one explains the candle auction process to the younger. The property being auctioned goes to the man who bids last before the candle goes out.
M/S of a blackboard in the coffee house; written on it are details of a ship 'For Sale by Inch of Candle'. M/Ss of men, some smoking clay pipes, sitting at tables who bid for the ship (in natural sound) intercut with C/Us of a candle about to go out. One of the men bids 1200 guineas just before the candle goes out. M/S of the scene inside the coffee house as the owner calls out "Sold to Mr Durant for 1200 guineas".
Commentator says "Because of this concentration of captains and merchants, the insurance brokers of the time began going here instead of from office to office", and we see in various M/Ss and hear in natural sound an insurance broker going from table to table discussing insurance of a ship called 'The Worcester'. He exchanges greetings and obtains the signatures of two men, shakes hands with the second one and walks out of the coffee house.
Note: print used for transfer; mute neg is incomplete. The documentary 'This Is Lloyd's' (see separate record) contains footage that was probably shot at the same time as this reconstruction of 1688 (same sets, costumes etc).

Slavery was maintained by established business sectors. One name that is consistently mentioned is Lloyds of London. This video gives an overview of the role played by Lloyds and other organizations in sustaining slavery. The question is, is it time for reparations?
Prof. Hilary Beckles states, “Unfortunately, one cannot go back and remake the history, but you can make atonement: it is not enough to make your apology as a public spectacle, it is not enough to present it as public relations exercise." This video gives you an insight into present-day organizations’ role in slavery and what is required for atonement.

On the last day of 1770, youngster Jonathan Blake (Freddie Bartholomew) overhears two sailors discussing something suspicious in his aunt's ale-house in a Norfolk fishing village. He persuades his more respectable best friend, Horatio Nelson (Douglas Scott), to sneak aboard the sailors' ship with him. They overhear a plot involving insurance fraud. When Jonathan decides to warn the insurers, Horatio cannot accompany him, because that same day he is invited to join the Royal Navy as a midshipman. Jonathan walks all the way to London to Lloyd's Coffee House, where the insurers conduct their business. Mr. Angerstein (Guy Standing), the head of one of the syndicates that make up Lloyd's of London, listens to him. Instead of a monetary reward, Jonathan asks to work at Lloyd's as a waiter. Angerstein teaches him that news, "honestly acquired and honestly shared," is the lifeblood of the insurance industry.
Was there in your cage When your lion got tamed Was up on your stage When your childhood flamed The sorrow and rage But it ain't no game to me now All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London shining now Standing in line With these abstract gifts Counting the time As the dragnet shifts A quarter to nine And the gray cloud lifts away now All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London falling down Hearing you say With your perspect's tongue Walking the way Where the dreams get flung Was never your thing When it all goes wrong to worry, whoa All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London shining now Telling a lie 'Cause the truth just stinks Out in the mud Where the lightning sinks Wishing you could As the strip light blinks away now, whoa All the lights in London shining now Slow ye down and stay awhile All the lights in London falling down All of London falling down All of London falling down
