Description

Film expressing the way in which time passes - speeded up footage of a sunrise behind a church, people waiting for a bus, shots of Manchester Town Hall clock and buses around Piccadilly. Footage also includes traffic signals, Deansgate seen from the cathedral end, the cathedral itself and a fire engine on the streets. A man is observed wandering across fields, and the film ends with footage of elderly people and graveyards.

This film, along with thousands of others from across the country, can also be viewed online as part of BFI: Britain on Film - player.bfi.org.uk/britain-on-film/
