Description

Miscellaneous footage featuring the Want family on holidays and days out. Three boys are seen playing with a toy rifle in the countryside, and the family are seen at a fairground, on a pier, out in the countryside and on the beach. A visit to Port Sunlight is shown, and on one journey, Mr Want is seen changing a burst tyre on the car. There are scenes at New Brighton open-air swimming pool, a girl models a fur coat in a garden, and the film ends with footage from a wedding - guests arriving at the church, and the couple leaving after the ceremony.
