Fantastic Bob,
Wouldn't it be brilliant if they had sound recording capabilities back then to listen to, along with the moving images.
Great stuff.

Hello
Not sure I have attached the photograph correctly, it should be a certificate awarded to W.H Pickavance in the parade of cart horses, Bootle May Day Demonstration, dated June 6th 1925, found it languishing in an Antique shop in Nantwich a while back, I framed it myself, and I must say it looks rather good.
Regards
John
