Description

Interior and exterior shots of the Standard Wagon Works at Heywood. The workers are also seen relaxing at lunchtime - playing a game of football and having a tug-of-war. Concluding footage follows the men on a work's outing to Blackpool, where they are seen walking through the busy streets, riding a tram and sitting in a pub.
