Hollow Drift Children's Procession, Durham (1902)

Thousands march up Old Elvet in Durham to mark the Coronation of Edward VII.

“Remarkably distinct," cheered the Durham Chronicle when this film screened in the city’s Drill Hall: "many local ladies and gentlemen were easily recognised... it was a splendid reproduction and it has nightly been received with applause." No doubt such acclaim would have pleased Mitchell & Kenyon, who always aimed to capture as many faces as possible to attract customers to their film shows.
