Kathryn and Judith Wain are seen on a walk at Werneth Low. George Wain is seen teaching maths at St George's School in Hyde, and there is footage of a Royal visit to Hyde by George VI and Queen Elizabeth. A short fictional film produced by George Wain and E M Greenwood, 'Chinese Interlude,' is seen, starring George Wain and Gladys McIlwraith as a couple going to buy a house, who are told the story of the willow pattern by an antiques dealer - this story is shown as an animation. Peter Wain is seen as a baby in 1944, being collected along with his mother Mary, from Aspland Maternity Home by his father and two sisters. He is seen as a toddler in the garden, on his fifth birthday and again as a baby. Pole Bank is seen covered in snow, and a group of sixth-form girls, including Kathryn, is seen in the garden. The film concludes with brief views of a family holiday to Llandudno. |
