I think this is a piece of film featuring George Wilkins Browne who in December 1920, became the first person to drive a car both up and down Snowdon. He drove up and down the railway track in an Angus Sanderson 14hp motor car. This event was filmed for cinema audiences. The ascent took 1 hour 22 mins, the descent 1 hour 5 mins.
