Description

Compilation reel of Taylor family domestic and leisure scenes. People go out and about in the countryside, a group of schoolgirls have a picnic, and two girls splash around in a tin bath in the garden on a hot day. There is a visit to the wells at Tissington in Derbyshire, and Beddgelert in Snowdonia. In the garden, a woman feeds a baby in a pram, and three girls play on a rug on the lawn. There are scenes at an outdoor show with large marquees, a couple of visitors drink tea before boarding the Dover to Calais ferry 'Invicta', and we see around a 'new' 1950s house, looking into each room in turn.
