Compilation of various Greenwoods' family film - snowy scenes in the Lancashire countryside, with a train going past. The family soft-drink business, T Greenwood & Sons Ltd are seen with a stall and van at Todmorden Carnival in 1964. Younger members of family and friends are seen, as well as footage of the Ffestiniog Mountain Railway in Wales.
