Tram Ride from King Street to Patrick's Bridge, Cork (1902) watch online HD

Mitchell and Kenyon expanded beyond their usual venue of greater Manchester in this traveling shot in downtown Cork -- they put a cameraman with the bulky equipment of the day on the front of a trolley car to achieve what is today a tracking shot.

Everyone wears hats.

No one looks at the camera, which is odd in an M&K film. Perhaps they didn't notice it. stuck in a trolley.
