Imagine a city without cars! You don’t have to - because before World War One early film-makers went around the globe capturing exactly that! The resulting filmic records give a fascinating glimpse of a world where the curb is not an impermeable barrier between safety and danger, and the streets are for all manner of pedestrians and vehicles.
Paramount among these transportation modes are the new electric trams which glide majestically – and quite slowly (!) – around the cities of Britain. In this entertaining and informative show, Dr Lawrence Napper will guide you through familiar places made strange by the absence of motorcars and the dominance of trams. Hop on board for this series of carefully curated and beautiful phantom rides around the UK between 1898 and 1914.

Performing live: Mike Nolan (piano)
This screening is outdoors, under the platform awning. Dress for the weather. Blankets provided.
