Description

A circus parade of clowns, acrobats, animals and a Scottish band are seen walking along Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester. A young Vanessa Moss and her older sister Judith play with sticks, on tricycles and on swings in the family garden with friends. The two sisters visit Heaton Park taking a boat trip and participating in various races at the King David Junior School sports day. The compilation concludes with shots of the family home 'Amulree' from the garden.
