Did You Know...?
The first ever movie was filmed right here in Leeds. In 1888, Louis Le Prince, a French artist, filmed moving-picture sequences of Roundhay Garden, Leeds Bridge and his brother playing the accordion. He was supposed to perform a public demonstration of his work in the US, but in 1890, he boarded a train from Dijon to Paris and mysteriously disappeared.
