1896 is the first year that I've been able to find
a video of. It just depicts London traffic, but it's still interesting to get a sense of what that was like. This
other video from the same year shows the traffic over Blackfriars Bridge. I love the face on the guy who walks by looking at the camera. Birt Acres showed London its first moving picture on 14 January 1896. Other demonstrations of the film projector soon followed.
That summer at the Crystal Palace, Bridget Driscoll became the first person in the world to be killed in a car accident. The coroner said he hoped "such a thing would never happen again." That same year, Britain opened their first car factory.
In the fall, Queen Victoria was recognized as the longest reigning monarch in the history of England.
