Description

Various scenes of the Behrens family on holiday in Skerries in the summer of 1925. Includes nice footage of a group of toddlers and babies playing with bouncy balls, in a cliff top garden overlooking the sea. One of the children is seen pushing a very ornate push chair backwards and forwards across the grass - lots of toys litter the ground around them. Further scenes include some children in bathing costumes and caps, paddling along the waters edge; a family group sitting on a rocky shore smiling at the camera and a couple of adults swimming in the sea and drying themselves on the beach.
