Description |
A compilation of footage from around the North West, including scenes in a Blackley suburban garden; Little Moreton Hall and Lyme Park; weddings; and an outdoor fete with added beauty contest. The reel ends with a procession of adults and children in historical costume, perhaps to celebrate the anniversary of a town's charter. |
