Donkey Rides on Beach

And they're off! Pioneering amateur film by Alfred Passmore

And they're off! This pioneering amateur film by Alfred Passmore sees enthusiastic beach-goers - presumably members of the Passmore clan - practically galloping along the shoreline on their humble steeds.

The film is one of a collection of 15 home movies, mostly shot by Alfred Ernest Passmore (1867-1948) of his family at home and on holiday between 1902 and 1903.
