Description

People refurbishing playground equipment and toys, whilst others garden and rebuild a section of wall at Howard Street nursery, Burnley. The workers pause for lunch and the work continues the next day, with painting, gardening, and people fixing toys. The workers stop for a meal and relax together. Curious children play on the refurbished playground equipment and watch as the gardening, and the laying of a flag floor, continue. At night, a Christmas party is held in the nursery, and couples dance, eat, drink and play games. Various acts in fancy dress take part in a talent show.
