Until 1990s, Diving Lucy, like most Mitchell & Kenyon films, was unknown; only a few films by the producers were thought to survive, mostly consisting of Boer War re-enactments.

  • "Throughout the 1970s, 80s, and into the 90s I had monitored the probability that . . . some film material was probably still stored in the 40 Northgate property . . . Then [in November 1995] ... the appearance at auction of some of these films occurred... when 70 small boxes, mainly of enacted material (dramas and comedies) were bought by The Cinema Museum. [In] June 1994 ... [I received a message from someone that several] specimen rolls of 35mm had been brought in to him, which he wanted me to look at. On examination, these were all stylus-inscribed at the 'head', were typically 50' to 100' in length and clearly M&K because they had been found in the cellar of 40 Northgate. This building had been unoccupied for about eighteen months . . . and contractors employed to strip it out totally . . . In the cellar had been found three metal drums ... crammed solid with film, and if I didn't 'rate' them they were going into the ...skip! . . . curbing my excitement, [I] arranged for the three drums to be delivered to me. My main concern was that they should be stored in as stable and secure an environment as I could - in ..."

3 separate collections... [68] "Precise dates for the discovery of the latter films are hard to estimate. When the collections were auctioned at Christie's in November 1 995 and February 1 997, the provenance of the material was not stated, but it is reliably reported that this was so. Therefore, it is only a deduction from unsubstantiated secondary evidence that the smaller collections were found in the premises at 40 Northgate. The sixty-five titles now preserved by the Cinema Museum in London were largely fiction, while the remaining small batch of five rolls of films were purchased by Lobster Films (Paris)."
