Cornwall's links with film and television go back to the 1930s when " Jamaica Inn " was shot at Bolventor but the oldest recorded films made in Cornwall date back to 1899 when a short, silent, black and white documentary film, " Wreck of the S . S . Paris " was filmed at the Manacle Rocks near the Lizard, and in 1904 black and white, silent film, sponsored by the Great Western Railway as a promotional film for holidays in Cornwall, called " Scenes in the Cornish Riviera " was filmed at the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash, Looe, Polperro, Newquay, Truro, St Ives.
