What's the full story behind Louis le Prince??? There was a seismic shift in the cultural evolution of the human race, which took place in a room just above Leeds Bridge... but not that many people seem to know about it.Did le Prince die to hide the fact that Film was a Leeds invention?I would love to know the facts, I would love to know the rumours...

Yes it's true he went missing very soon after he took the first moving picture. I reckon he got a bit too adventurous for his next shot fell out of the window & into the river.. Possible?

Apparently he went missing on one of his many trips to France. He never got off the train at the other end. He was seen off by his wife in Leeds but was never seen again. The film of Leeds bridge was found in a house in the woodhouse region. Apaprently it was hidden initially to keep it safe and just forgot about..
