Description |
The manufacture of colourful modern clogs and clog sandals at Pollocks, Burnley. A car pulls a trailer of sacks containing wooden clog blocks and leathers into a factory. Some workers work the leather into shape whilst others nail irons on to the clog blocks. The clogs are then assembled and some are packed into boxes labelled "for export" and taken away on the trailer. Includes shots of a group of children and adults wearing their clogs, plus a reverse action sequence of clogs being thrown into a box and 'The End' spelt out in clogs. |
