Description |
Children evacuees from Tottenham can be seen arriving at the gates of Walton Hall. They are greeted by Lady Daresbury and the head warden, Mr. T. Plumpton outside the house. Lady Daresbury had invited the children there for a fete and tea. The children enjoy some fizzy drinks and food before donkey rides. Some of the younger children take part in a race. The children gather on the lawn for a Punch and Judy show. Afterwards, the children take part in a variety of races such as three-legged, skipping, egg and spoon and sack races. The children and adults are seen seated at tables in the garden for refreshments. |
