PHOTOGRAPHS • FILM • THE PEOPLE BEHIND THEM

The streets
remember.

Take a seat. There’s a little of home in every frame.

Our Picture House begins with a short heritage film made from photographs contributed to the HessleRoad.com project. Pause on a detail, step into a chapter, or watch it through and see what you recognise.

Approximately 48 seconds · colourised photograph montage

Based on photographs supplied to the project. Colour and visual enhancement are interpretations; this is a modern photo montage, not original motion-picture footage. Individual dates, locations and photographer credits will be added as they are verified.

Tap a frame to move to that part of the film, then press play.

Look a little closer.

Shop signs, upstairs windows, clothes, vehicles and advertisements can all help unlock a photograph. A face in the background might mean little to one visitor and everything to another.

If you recognise something, tell us the film time and which detail you mean. Please distinguish what you know from what you think might be right.
