Trade & Industry Expansion – 1920s Gouda Works – Gouwe River
NL – Naast transport vindt uitbreiding van handel en industrie plaats aan de rand van de stad, hier langs de Turfsingel, een van de vier stadsgrachten rond de binnenstad van Gouda – grachten historisch ter verdediging, langs een stadsmuur.
De Turfsingel verbindt de Hollandsche IJssel en de Gouwe als schakel in de Nederlandse binnenvaart waterwegen.
De panoramische zwaai in deze korte film toont eerst de Gouwekerk aan de overkant van het kanaal, en vervolgens naar links, de twee identieke gebouwen van kaashandelaar Van Zwet, en daarnaast een grote draaiende korenmolen ‘Molen de Roode Leeuw’.
Achter die windmolen – hier niet zichtbaar – bevindt zich de aardewerkfabriek ‘Plazuid’ (Plateelfabriek Zuid-Holland).
De laatste beelden tonen – aan deze kant van het water – Viruly’s Zeepfabriek als onderdeel van de Stearine Kaarsenfabriek, en in het water ervoor een schuit met vaten gevuld waarschijnlijk met olie/vet gebruikt voor zowel de zeep als de kaars productie.
Achterin zijn een schoorsteen en de watertoren van de Machinale Garenspinnerij te zien.

EN – Apart from transport , expansion of trade and industry takes place on the outskirts of the city here, along the ‘Turfsingel’ canal, one of the four city canals around the inner city of Gouda – canals, historically for defence, along a city wall.
The Turfsingel canal connects the Hollandsche IJssel and Gouwe rivers as a link in the dutch inland waterway.
The panoramic sweep in this short film starts with a shot showing across the canal the Gouwekerk (Gouwe church), and next sweeping to the left, showing two identical buildings of cheese trader Van Zwet, and a big turning grist windmill ‘Molen de Roode Leeuw’ (the ‘Red Lion’).
Behind that windmill – not showing here – is the pottery factory ‘Plazuid’ (Plateelfabriek Zuid Holland).
The final images show – at this side of the canal – Viruly’s Soap factory as part of the Candle factory (Stearine Kaarsenfabriek), and in front a barge with barrels filled probably with oil/fat used for both the soap and candle production.
In the back are showing a chimney and the watertower of the Mechanized Yarn Spinnery (Machinale Garenspinnerij). Edit from film by Willy Mullens | Haghe Film | Open Images | Sound & Vision .

Vismarkt – 1920s Gouda Works – Gouwe River (english below)
NL – De Gouwe rivier stroomt hier vlakbij, aan het einde van deze straat, genaamd Hoge Gouwe, de stad Gouda binnen. Aan de overkant van de Gouwe – niet zichtbaar in deze scene – is de lager gelegen straat Lage Gouwe. Sinds de 15e eeuw is hier de Vismarkt in de overdekte gallerijen , de Visbanken. Een Visbank aan de overkant (niet zichtbaar in deze scene) voor de Goudse vishandelaren, en aan deze zijde voor de vishandelaren van elders (de Vreemden Vismarkt). Tot ca 1904 was hier nog visafslag. In deze filmopnames van rond 1920 lijkt er handel in planten in de Visbank.
Op de achtergrond is de Sint-Janskerk te zien. Bewerking uit film van Willy Mullens | Haghe Film | Open Images | Sound & Vision.
EN – The Gouwe river flows nearby, at the end of this street, called Hoge Gouwe, into the city of Gouda. On the other side of the Gouwe – not visible in this scene – is the lower street Lage Gouwe. The Fish Market has been here in the covered galleries, the Visbanken, since the 15th century. One fish bank on the other side (not visible in this scene) for the Gouda fishmongers, and on this side another one for the fishmongers from elsewhere (the Strange Fish Market). There was still a fish auction here until about 1904. In these film recordings from around 1920, there appears to be a trade in plants in the Visbank. The Sint-Janskerk (St. John’s Church) can be seen in the background.

① memo 20190815 ~ Mokum Market ~ Amsterdam Jewish Quarter 1931 ~ New version of yesterday’s (20190814) film – slowed to 75%*. Sunday outdoor market in the ‘Nieuwe Uylenburgerstraat’ street in the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam (Mokum). Dutch Polygoon cinema newsreel 25 January 1931. The market on the Uilenburgerstraat specialized in second-hand goods fish, and other food products, including the ever-popular ‘Jewish pickles’. The Depression in the 1930s led to unemployment in many trades, including the diamond industry, where many Jews had worked. As a consequence, the number of market vendors and peddlers increased in the 1930s. In September 1941 the Nazis prohibited Jews from trading at public markets. Special markets where only Jews were allowed to trade opened nearby. Very few Jewish market and street vendors survived the war. The Uilenburgerstraat market never reopened (info source https://www.joodsmonument.nl/en/page/671/jewish-market-and-street-vendors-in-amsterdam ).

* Note – Yesterday’s film (Mokum Market version 20190814) seems sped up – probably because of a wrong play speed when scanned for digitalisation). Thus , I post this new version today, sloweddown to 75% speed at play back – based subjectively on how motion of people looks , and based on other writings that silent films are often distributed with instructions for the projectionist to be run at 18fps , rather then the modern 24 frames per second – thus requiring a 18/24 = 75% fps.
