A Day in Liverpool

A Day in Liverpool is a 1929 British city symphony film directed by Anson Dyer.

It depicts ships entering Royal Albert Dock carrying people who will be working that day.

The work day is mirrored by the repeated images of clocks, showing the passage of time.

The film also serves to champion the technological and industrial advances that Liverpool has made, such as the Gladstone Docks, the largest in the world.

There are several images of text that appear on the screen and serve to identify buildings, explain the workers' duties, and even provide a brief narrative at the end of the film between a young man and woman on a ship.
