I recognise this piece of film Mr M.

There was a series on BBC4, I believe, a few years back, about Mitchell and Kenyon. As far as I can remember these reels of film were retrieved from a bin to be thrown out. They were restored by BFI and shown to a wider audience.

Two DVD's were also produced, which I bought, as I was so taken by the films. Fascinating pieces of a by-gone age.
