London Traffic 1903
Another nice turn-of-the-century BFI film of London traffic, in 1903. Spot the solitary motor car; admire the advertisements on buses (soaps predominate?) and wonder what it all sounded like (erm, probably quite noisy!).

Walking about in 1896
WALKING ABOUT IN 1896
Sadly, most films of Victorian life (there aren't many) are either
1. people walking about
2. pictures of the Tower Bridge / Windsor Castle / [other random well-known tourist landmark that hasn't changed in a hundred years]
This falls into that first category, but it's nice enough - crossing Blackfriar's Bridge, courtesy of the BFI:
