Moving Memories 2

Synopsis

A compilation from the unique collection of the North West Film Archive containing films of the region.

Includes a day in the life of a coal miner (1910), the use of Co-op textiles in the home (1930), building a motor car (1913), a small-town carnival (1923), the Manchester centenary celebrations (1946), Lancashire coastal resorts (1957) and the journey of what was thought to be Manchester’s last tram in 1949.
