Procession of Rotherham School Children (1902)

Crocodiles of Edwardian schoolchildren get their moment on film.

Three assorted groups of schoolchildren troop past the camera. The first group consists of young boys, mostly wearing Eton collars and caps, walking smartly in step. They are succeeded by two other groups. It's likely that the procession was organised solely for the benefit of Mitchell & Kenyon's camera. Screenings were promoted in the Rotherham Advertiser for both February and September 1902.
