  Leisurely Pedestrians, Open Topped Buses and Hansom Cabs with Trotting Horses 1889

  ''Leisurely Pedestrians, Open Topped Buses and Hansom Cabs with Trotting Horses'' (1889) really is a lost film, and was filmed by William Friese-Greene in Apsley Gate, Hyde Park, London. Only a few frames remain.

  This is a lost film. The image is the wrong one. It comes from the short film ''Hyde Park Corner, London'' (1897). You can find it on the British Pathé official Youtube channel, and in this thoroughly described video : www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtRiMS34KxQ.
