Description

Scenes in a garden: women pruning flowers; two young girls grooming a horse, playing on a horse, sunbathing and walking around. The whole family then gathers around with the dogs for the camera. An elderly couple walk in the garden, there is then a formal walk (possibly a whit walk), and finally a roadside picnic. There is footage of a work's outing to Blackpool, groups lining up beside buses, and then a very indistinct view from what seems to be the tower. More mixed footage: a street procession; girls playing in the garden with the dog, trains departing from a station being waved off, street scenes in Manchester and then more scenes of the family in the garden playing with the dog.
