One of the most exciting film discoveries of recent times was made in 1994 when three sealed metal drums containing 826 films were found in the basement of a building that once belonged to the Edwardian film company Mitchell & Kenyon. Now cleaned up and restored by the British Film Institute, we can see just what treasure was uncovered.This BBC programme was presented by Dan Cruikshank in 2005.
Between 1900-1913, Sagar Mitchell & James Kenyon filmed the everyday lives of people at work and play in Northern England, Scotland and Ireland. We see the factory workers, the crowds and the parades, the football matches (including Manchester United's very first) the trams and trolley buses and are assailed by the ghosts of our past, which is indeed another country. An indispensable collection.
