Description

Scenes of a family group in the park, followed by the men playing ball on the beach in shirts ties and trousers; there is a pier in the background. There is footage of a boat and lots of women in deckchairs. People wait around in front of a coach, and then a woman takes a picture. A moored boat is tossed in heavy seas, and there is footage of waves crashing onto rocks. In a different location, there are scenes of lakes and a waterfall. The family assemble on the front steps, having their picture taken with twin babies. In Blackpool, women sunbathe, feed chickens and there is a view of the Tower from the Central Pier. A woman and two men sit on a bench and play with pipes and hats.
