I received this yellow roll from the town named Dil, Kent county, England.
Known-unknown is just a matter of quick clip-test.
4 minutes in 10% HC-110 at 6 degree C (42F):



6 partially overlapped frames.
The first one has round shape; this is usual if film had been sleeping for years in a folded folder-type camera, when slightly radioctive glass of the lens is emitting directly to the emulsion.

Frame by frame, from first to the last:












The last one is interesting, worth a closer look:




These are obviously just random snaps, but the images looks intriguing.
At first glance I thought of gipsy's camp and asked my wife -- she lived in Kent for some time; she replied instantly:
"...you're asking me who are these people, with swallen cheeks and light signs of degeneration on their faces, people standing in uncertain poses and doing something unthinkable with various domestic animals? They are no doubt native english islanders."

:)

Ok, what's left, timeframe? I would opt for mid-60s.
