A remarkable bit of film showing a tram ride through Rochdale in the year 1900. Amazing film (with slightly dodgy added sound, turn your speakers down if it bothers you), very clear and showing a world that is long gone.
I'm thinking this was shot on a Sunday as everyone is smartly dressed in what I assume is their "Sunday Best".
I also wondered about the man learning to ride a bike part way through. Is his friend really pushing him in front of the tram?
