Description

Winter scenes in Bolton and two men in uniform posing for the camera with young Bill Hart. After a brief shot of soldiers marching along a street, there is footage of thick snow on Blackburn Road in Bolton and horses pulling snow ploughs to clear the road. The remainder of the reel features an army corporal and a sailor with Bill Hart on the same road and in a garden, where the sailor does a jig. Ends with Bill out in the countryside on his bicycle accompanied by his dog.
