Sports Day at Queen's College Ground, Cork (1902)
This lively series of shots of crowds enjoying various events at a university sports day was filmed on the grounds of Queen's College Cork (from 1908, University College Cork). This was next to what is now Fitzgerald Park, host to the 1902 Cork International Exhibition - the bridge-like structure visible in the background is the exhibition's water chute, long since dismantled.

Warrington v. St. Helens (1901)
Lancashire's St Helens, in hooped shirts, visited Cheshire rivals Warrington for this early Edwardian game. As in other Mitchell and Kenyon rugby films, we can see here an early phase of the evolution of Northern Union rules: note the quickly-formed scrum after each tackle. Shots along the touchline show officials and spectators transfixed by the play, while others are distracted by the camera. The Northern Rugby Football Union, better known as Northern Union, was formed in 1895, when prominent Yorkshire and Lancashire clubs resigned from the Rugby Football Union in a dispute over compensation for players taking time off work. All the major differences between the two codes would be established by 1907.

Comic Pictures in High Street, West Bromwich (1902)
The chaos and charm of Edwardian street life is captured to great effect here as young lads throng this West Midlands street. 'The pictures we are taking will be shown Monday Jan 13th', proclaims the showman's advert. The medley of flat caps, bowlers, boaters and top hats offers engaging vivid social insight, showing the classes mingling together yet clearly defined.

The Visit of the Duke of Connaught C-I-C Forces in Ireland and Prince Henry of Prussia to Cork Exhibition (1902)
A dozen years before hostilities broke out between Britain and Germany, members of their respective royal families visited the Cork Exhibition together on 8 May 1902. They are shown here inspecting one of its most imposing visual highlights: the gigantic water chute, which cost £3,000 to construct (nearer £300,000 today), as well as a police parade and more leisurely boating activities.

Tram Ride from King Street to Patrick's Bridge, Cork (1902)
As well as its extensive railway network, Cork was served by an impressive tramway system, which was just four years old when this film was made. As the tram veers into Bridge Street the filmmakers capture an excellent panorama of Patrick's Bridge, one of the city's major landmarks, and the bustling atmosphere of the commercial centre. This kind of 'phantom ride' was a staple of early film.

Life in Wexford (1902)
These short scenes were filmed in January 1902 in and around Wexford's Bull Ring market, capturing an array of local characters, including a cheery fishwife. Children and members of the Royal Irish Constabulary mingle with the traders and customers. The Mayor of Wexford, in his official regalia, appears with his daughters. The films were later shown at the Theatre Royal, Wexford. This film was shot during a two-day visit to the South East Ireland town by Mitchell and Kenyon cameraman Louis De Clercq. The man in the pale hat seen walking arm-in-arm with another man towards the camera may be Hugh McCarthy, manager of Wexford's White Hotel. The same man reappears later, alongside the mayor and his daughters.

Trade Procession at Opening of Cork Exhibition (1902)
A ceremonial procession through what is thought to be Western Road to mark the opening of 1902's momentous Cork Exhibition. Marchers represent the Irish National Foresters and local clothing factory Sunbeam Industries, and there are also religious tableaux, including a live-action depiction of Adam and Eve. At the end, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is accompanied by a mounted guard of honour.

Panorama of College Green, Dublin (1902)
These evocative scenes of Edwardian Dublin include views of the old houses of parliament (later home to the Bank of Ireland), and the gates of Trinity College. By 1902 the city's tram system was already electrified and this film shows a busy urban Dublin. The once-famous statue of 'King Billy' (William of Orange) on horseback can also be seen; it was later damaged by republicans and removed.

Wexford Railway Station (1902)
A beautiful shot of a locomotive billowing smoke begins this very evocative film. As the train pulls in to the terminus the camera is positioned behind the ticket barrier to record smartly-dressed passengers disembarking along the length of the platform. A carriage seen at the end carries advertising for the White's Hotel, where Belgian-born cameraman Louis de Clercq stayed during his visit.

Preparation of the Cork Exhibition Grounds and Erection of Buildings (1902)
Filmed around a month before the opening of the exhibition, these scenes show work still being carried out on the grounds, including the water chute (some 60 feet high) on the River Lee. The grounds were later renamed Fitzgerald Park after the Lord Mayor. The exhibition would have been the talk of Cork, so this film was virtually guaranteed an eager audience, fuelling even greater anticipation.

Workers Leaving Lee Boot Factory — Dwyer & Co. Ltd., Cork (1902)
Mitchell and Kenyon's 'factory gate' films are numerous, but this single shot of jovial workers in Great George's Street (now Washington Street) is the only Irish example to survive. Despite successive Acts of Parliament limiting child labour, there are still many young workers here. Under the 'half-time system', they would have split their time equally between school and work.

Lord Mayor of Cork Arriving for Official Opening of Cork Exhibition (1902)
This is one of nine films in the Mitchell and Kenyon collection relating to this momentous exhibition, a key moment in Cork's early 20th century history. Highlights of the lavish pageantry include Lord Mayor Edward Fitzgerald, whose brainchild the exhibition was, and the pomp of the Royal Irish Constabulary, as well as the first lucky visitors to the newly opened exhibition grounds.

Regiments Returned from Boer War to Victoria Barracks, Cork (1902)
These slightly weary-looking soldiers, just back from South Africa, were perhaps only temporarily housed in their Cork barracks before a well-earned return home. Despite Irish misgivings, some 30,000 Irish soldiers fought in the Boer War. In a neat lesson in colonial history, the barracks were named after Queen Victoria in 1849 and rapidly re-named 'Collins Barracks' after Irish independence.

Panorama of Cork Exhibition Grounds (1902)
An interesting counterpart to Mitchell and Kenyon's extensive coverage of the human visitors to the 1902 Cork Exhibition, this film instead consists of a nearly 360-degree pan around the exhibition grounds (constructed on what is now Fitzgerald Park) and the nearby River Lee, ending on a close-up of what is almost certainly part of the exhibition's water chute, one of its signature attractions.
