Show full synopsis

This is believed to be Riley Brothers' Street Scene in Boar Lane (Leeds), described in a Warwick Trading Company catalogue as "One of the best English street scenes ever exhibited. Passing trams, carriages, drays, &c. Full of animation. (75 or 50 feet)".

However, a shorter version has also been separately catalogued as Leeds - Street Scenes, and dated as 1903. It has also been suggested that it might be a Mitchell and Kenyon title.
