- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: A Victorian street scene comes to life like a studio film set but it’s a living museum where the world of the eighteen-sixties to eighties, laid out in streets and shops, is preserved as it was. In the Kirkstall Abbey Museum, Leeds, see how the apothecary makes his pills the hard way, a tack maker knocks out nails one at a time with an ancient guillotine, an ironmonger’s shop displa ys the latest household aids - manually operated vacuum cleaners, a Victorian ‘washing machine’ and a fiendish medieval-looking torture instrument which turns out to be a crimping iron for the ribbons and pleats of the period. Even the shop sign and paving stones are vintage eighteen-seventies - a model in authenticity.
