We are so lucky to have these and to see them in colour too. What a thrill!!

Absolutely remarkable. I’m gob smacked.
They are immortalized in this new technology of the age like a time capsule and we are seeing them 120 years later.
Hello fellow humans. I pray that you lived full lives.

My 2nd Great grandfather was Thomas Kenyon,his daughter Ann Kenyon was my great grandmother from Chorley,Lancashire.I wonder if I’m related to the maker of these films.My grandfather William Myerscough ,Ann Kenyons son was from Wigan.

Wonder how many off the younger children met their end in the trenches in France ?

Adjusting setting to .75 is more naturalistic than this tempo, though slightly on the slow side.

FIRST MADE AVAILABLE EARLIER THIS CENTURY, i HAVE ALL THE DVD'S ISSUED AT THAT TIME, BUT NOT COLOURISED. THE BBC MADE A SERIES OF MITCHELL AND kENYON'S FILMS, AND THE WAY THEIR HUGE COLLECTION WAS SAVED FROM DESTRUCTION.
