British Film Footage shot between 1897 and 1913 Discovered and Restored

Channel 4 news London - The British Film Institute has restored 28 hours of black and white footage, discovered after 80 years in the Blackburn shop basement of Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon, two Lancashire entrepreneur film makers who shot the pictures for fairground owners and travelling showmen.
Mitchell and Kenyon’s business folded in 1920 and it wasn’t until 1994 that some 800 original nitrate film negatives were discovered in the basement of their original premises.
