Lost film footage of 1904 London

The film was shot in 1904 as a 'travelogue' for Australians curious about life in what was "one of the most exciting cities anywhere."

great footage, but how tasteless can you get with the music!?

0:04 What you looking at?

This film is haunting, and the music makes it more so.

You are looking way back into the past here, these people have all lived and died nearly 100 years ago, in an age long gone.

It's always interesting to see how my great grandparents dressed, and lived.

@stroomblok yeah music totally spoils it unlike the video of 1900 with Richard Harvey music

[JackRance1910]

God the music is awful

Simpler, happy times? Well, yes unless you were poor!

[oldcargeezer]

I disagree, I think the music adds to the film, as it somehow highlights the fact that you are looking at a bygone age.

Its better to have a scratchy wax cylinder sound to back up a film like this...more haunting. Music kind of ruins the effect

[WheelieMacBin]

Haunting ... a different world.

@johnny2o2o What I meant was - we didn't have a war practically every year. We did not have to keep up with the Jones'. There was honour and good will towards man. They were not a pill popping nation. Few rapes, child abuse, murders. Had little but most were happy. Family meant something. Heart disease, cancer, strokes rampant. Man will never eradicate disease, if he does, some other disease will pop up. No aids back then.
