Also includes a shot of Central Station, scenes inside Stanley Park and trams travelling along the promenade. Further footage includes a family's visit to Hollingworth Lake and various shots of aeroplanes taking off and landing in a field. The film concludes with three women doing an exercise routine and some folk dancing in their back garden.
