https://filmow.com/traffic-in-king-s-road-chelsea-t267660/ ''This is a rough reconstruction of a film shot by William Friese-Greene outside 39 King's Road, Chelsea, London with a camera of his own invention, most likely in mid-1891. The format was 60/65mm celluloid, which had been hand-punched with round perforations to move the film. Frame rate appears to be 4-5 frames per second. The bluriness on movement is likely to be a consequence of typically cloudy British weather and the slowness of sensitivity of the available film stock - meaning a longer shutter opening and/or slower frame rate has been employed to get more light on the film. Fragments of tests on paper film, apparently taken the same day, do not have this blurring and indicate a higher frame rate.
It is one of the earliest films shot in a London street currently known, pre-dating the Lumiere films and those of Birt Acres and Robert Paul by 4 years. Friese-Greene himself shot other films around London in the period 1889-18
