Parade of Schoolchildren (c.1902)
Can you identify this street corner, or perhaps a young face in the parade?
Overview
This film needs watching at least twice: the first time to take in the many fascinating faces and clothes of the children the camera focuses on, and the second to watch the world passing by behind them (perhaps you can even identify the location?). In between the coal trucks in the background you can see a painted caravan - probably belonging to the fairground that commissioned the film.
