Description |
Members of the Edwards family are seen on various day trips to Poulton-Le-Fylde, Windsor and Blackpool. Includes a shot of two large sail boats leaving Blackpool shore on a windy day. Both boats are packed with passengers who are tossed to and fro in the rough sea. The family are also seen relaxing on a crowded beach, making sandcastles and paddling in the sea. Further scenes include a Prescot Parish Church parade; aerial shots of the River Mersey; a civic procession through the streets of Prescot; holiday scenes in the Isle of Man; and footage of employees (from Prescot Gas Company), smiling at the camera prior to their 1938 works outing. |
