Description

A hive of activity at Lister Drive Power Station, Liverpool as men are seen assembling gas masks. A group of policemen and vehicles are seen outside the building, and boxes of finished gas masks are stacked in the warehouse. Workmen are seen constructing a new roadway for 'extra traffic.' More scenes of gas mask assembly, windows in Clarence Dock Power Station are bricked up and the film ends with views of the Lewis Gun Post on the annexe roof and work to reinforce the roof.
