Description

Family films recording a variety of subjects including garden, seaside and snow scenes, and footage of Conwy in North Wales. Adults and children play and have tea in a garden. Children feed swans, play with model boats and watch a Punch and Judy show. After shots of the suspension bridge and 'Smallest House in Great Britain' in Conwy, there is more holiday footage and scenes near the family home after heavy snowfall. The film features a pair of twins throughout; as babies dressed for christening and then later as toddlers.

[Catalogued as part of 'Revitalising the Regions' - a Screen Heritage UK project, 2011]
