The '''Mitchell & Kenyon''' film company was a pioneer of early commercial motion pictures based in [[Blackburn]] in Lancashire, England, at the start of the 20th century. They were originally best known for minor contributions to early fictional narrative film and [[Boer War]] dramatisation films, but the discovery in 1994 of a hoard of film negatives led to restoration of the Mitchell & Kenyon Collection, the largest surviving collection of early non-fiction [[actuality film]]s in the world. This collection provides a fresh view of [[Edwardian era]] Britain and is an important resource for historians.<ref>see [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNVthr44XqU  "The Lost World Of Mitchell and Kenyon – Episode 1 – 4/6"]</ref>
