Description

A variety of scenes from various locations. We see shots of country lanes, street signs, and general views around Merseyside and Cheshire. Locations include Trentham Gardens, Chester Zoo, Hale, Thelwall, Rainhill, Runcorn and Prescot. There are Scottish scenes from an Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh train tour of the Wester Ross area of the Scottish Highlands. We see lots of spectacular scenery shot from the window of the moving train, and there are shots of the train too. We also see scenes from Bridgenorth of the Severn Valley Railway, and of the funicular at Cliff Railway Station. The film ends with scenes of remedial work on Ironbridge and scenes from Blists Hill Open Air Museum.
