The Victorian Street

Some of the most fascinating of early films are those which are content to watch the Victorian world go by. Numerous filmmakers parked their cameras on street corners, outside workplaces or churches, or into sports venues to capture moments of everyday life. 

In their own day, these films held a mirror up to Victorian society. Today, they offer us extraordinary insights into a lost world, more vivid than any still photograph or written account.
