Description

Scenes of Fleetwood during Queen Elizabeth's Coronation Year showing the Mount Pavilion, Esplande with colourful flowerbeds and the seafront. Children play in bathing pools, watching 'Bilton's Marionettes' perform on the promenade and posing by a model yacht as a man launches it on a boating pool. Continues with boats sailing on a lake, beach scenes, people playing crazy golf and on a giant board game of draughts. Includes shots aboard a ferry, the Isle of Man Steamer departing the harbour and the two Fleetwood lighthouses.
