Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge is an experimental short film from 1888 that shows several horse-drawn carriages and passers- by crossing a bridge in Leeds .
It was shot by Louis Le Prince at the end of October 1888 during a three-year stay in England and, along with Roundhay Garden Scene, is one of the oldest films in history. Le Prince's son Adolphe assisted his father with the recordings.
Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge was made on 60 mm paper film ( stripping film ) with a single-lens camera which Le Prince patented in the same month. The original recording consisted of 20 frames per second. Today only photographic copies of the film exist.
