    Has anyone seen the films by the Lumiere brothers from 1897 and 1901 of the city and the docks, some taken from the overhead railway?
    Was shown it by Brian Hatton an architectural historian who lectured at John Moores school of Architecture. Amazing footage

    I remember that being shown on TV (think it was Granada) about 10 years ago. I don't have a copy now though.

    They included footage shot in 1897 by early film pioneers the Lumiere brothers, showing bustling scenes of Liverpool life. continues.....

    I was lucky enough to have watched a 20 minute 'silent movie' of when Liverpool last celebrated its big birthday. The 700th celebrations in 1907 showed how the people of Liverpool were involved and how it was celebrated. They even made a 'mock up' of Liverpool castle and rein-acted a battle or two, watched by the crowds. The main focus was a huge pagient which took place in various locations, mainly Liverpool's parks and grounds.

    I would share it with you bought I'd probably get into all kinds of trouble. It's a proper 'gem', I'll try and get a few screen grabs though.

    Once a film is over 60 years old it is anyones. The copyright has gone. You can show it. Historical films should be on the Internet anyway.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    The film, showing Lime st with horse drawn carriages has St. John's church in situ in it's grounds which were to become St. John's gardens in 1904. Also footage from a moving train on the overhead showing docks from North to South including George's dock which became the site for the Royal liver Buildings and the Albert Dock, complete with it's original clock tower.

    Nice one Ged. I posted some stills of the Magnet a few weeks ago, but I can't remember to which thread!
