North Wales, England: The Land of Castles and Waterfalls
An Edwardian excursion along the crenelated coast of North Wales from the walls of Chester to the wilds of Snowdonia.
Take a trip in time and space to Edwardian Britain, and travel along the North Wales coast. Starting in the walled city of Chester you hop on a train to Llandudno, mosey around a few castles, and take a horse-drawn carriage through Snowdonia. Clearly a holiday for the wealthier set, there's something delightfully intimate about the relationship between the camera and travellers that makes you feel part of the trip. An excellent silent travelogue from skilled producers of the early form.
Travelogue. A film made by courtesy of the LNWR which links scenes of towns and places of interest between Chester and Bettws-y-Coed with views from a moving train. The Film was originally produced as an advertisement for the LNWR railway and was shown in 1909 at the White City Exhibition.
