Description

Farming and family scenes from the Heyes Family of Mossborough Hall Farm in Rainford, St.Helens. We see scenes from the farm, tractors and other farm machinery, building work, vegetable harvesting and farm animals. The family help a new-born calf to stand. We also see a helicopter spraying the crops. There are family scenes from around the farm and in the family home, including the family eating Christmas dinner. We also see scenes from a wedding. There are snow scenes and we see children sledging. There are scenes from a fairground and of a small aircraft flying. We see men standing by the side of the road, sign-posted as the B4574 near Rhayader. We also see men standing in front of gates in the grounds of Knowsley Hall with the dates 1948-1973 on them. There are scenes of horse riding and we see the family with their horses at an outdoor event.
