Description |
Underexposed shots of a butchers shop interior, nice street scenes in Gorton and a couple of dogs playing in the garden. After shots of the Midland Hotel, we see a royal drive past, through cheering and flag waving crowds lining Glencastle Road in Gorton. A Whit Walk with a Rose Queen and groups carrying religious banners. The film ends with a foreign holiday [Spain?] with views of the beach, gardens and locals. |
