Yule | Recordings of Christmas Past

Curators at the Museum of London have discovered what they believe to be the first ever recordings of a family Christmas, made 110 years ago by the Wall family who lived in New Southgate in North London. The recordings were made between 1902 and 1917 on wax cylinders made by a phonograph machine.

Absolutely fascinating story. [BBC]
