The Roundhay Garden Scene was shot in October 1888 in at Oakwood Grange, Roundhay in Leeds.
It was a film directed by French inventor Louis Le Prince. It runs for approximately two seconds and is the earliest surviving film footage according to the Guinness book of World Records. The footage has been digitally remastered by the National Media Museum in Bradford..
As far as entertainment value is concerned there is nothing much to see as the footage consists of people walking around the garden.
Somehow the footage has survived since 1888 which is a remarkable feat in itself.
