Ep 028 Lorcan Film Unit Remastered

This is the twenty eighth instalment of the remastered Lorcan Film Unit Videos. There is a total of 10 hours worth of film that we hope to publish over time. Unfortunately Leslie Crowe who was the Director and creator of much of this content is no longer with us. So we are hoping to get your help to figure out the places and the names of the people he captured.

If you turn on the Closed Captions "CC" on the video to see what we know about the footage so far.

Absolutely brilliant footage. Fantastic job restoring it. Its amazing to see such history from the perspective of a regular person about town. Watching the footage makes me feel weirdly sad. Great work and thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for uploading.

The frescoe or plaster relief panels to the dark brick building @2:40 are architect Francis Johnson's house on Eccles Street.

Yes it's good but for Jesus's sake the watermark is far to large and so obtrusive.
