Description

Scenes of the Dempsey family and their life living on Moorfields Avenue in Preston. There are domestic scenes, such as bringing in the milk in the morning, and scenes of the family spending time together in the house and in the garden. We see a model railway set up in the garden. We also see the family out visiting friends and family. They go on daytrips too, and we see them at Grange-over-Sands and at Broughton. There are also shot of busy shopping streets, shopfronts and markets.
