This caught my eye – it’s original footage (edited) taken around 1900 – at the end of Victoria’s reign or the early days of the Edwardian period.
The first part of the film looks to be from Manchester – probably the city centre. The streets looked busier and probably more dangerous back then than they are now!

Wow, fascinating, looks like hat maker was the job to have in those days !!!
Really interesting – I just love this period of social history – change was just around the corner with the first world war and the changing attitudes – remarkable piece of film. Thanks Iain.
