Take a captivating journey through Edwardian Liverpool with this intriguing film tour, showcasing footage captured from the front of a tram using the early film technique of a 'phantom ride.' As we travel from the Pier Head, an area predating the famous 'Three Graces' architecture, towards the bustling commercial hub of Liverpool, the camera captures the elegant city inhabitants, many of whom appear intrigued by its presence.

In the footage, pedestrians and trams fill the busy streets, and viewers catch a glimpse of the overhead railway that was demolished in 1956.

Clip 1 features Pier Head, with the Church of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas coming into view at 00:56.
Clip 2, from 1:16 to 1:47, takes viewers eastwards down Dale Street from opposite Castle Street.
Clip 3, from 1:47 to 2:03, captures a southwards view down Castle Street.

Although the original film is damaged in some areas, the available footage provides a remarkable time machine effect, transporting viewers back to Edwardian Liverpool. Unfortunately, the damage cannot be removed without extensive manual editing.
