Newcastle United v Liverpool (1901)
An Edwardian football match at Newcastle's St James' Park ground.
The score finished 1-0 to the Magpies in this First Division football match. Despite having three cameras present on the day, Mitchell & Kenyon's operators missed the goal, and the hand-cranked cameras sometimes struggled to keep up with the action in a hard-fought match. But the shots of grinning supporters, packed on to the terraces in their flat caps and bowlers, more than compensate.
M&K 121: Main (replacement) title (00.08). Game in progress. Newcastle wears vertically-striped shirts and dark shorts; Liverpool wears white shorts and dark shirts. There are large signs for Newton's perambulators, Westgate Road around the ground. Large crowds. At one end of the pitch is a long, tall industrial-looking building. The covered stand has another small, pagoda-like- stand built into the roof.
