Please have a look at this little collage I've put together of silent film of Liverpool / Merseyside from 1897 through to 1930. It is, as others have mentioned all on various videos available from various shops all over Merseyside, but the out of copyright status does allow copies such as this one. I am sure you'll enjoy the pictures, and the music.
