Description |
Promotional film that aims to capture a day in the life of Liverpool. Workers arrive in the city by ferry and railway and rush to the offices and nearby docks. There are traffic scenes at Pier Head, by the Overhead Railway and on the Floating Roadway. Trade is highlighted with footage of cargo handling, cotton trading, and the import of livestock. There are shots of the docks and warehouses before the film moves on to the Grand National, shipbuilding at Birkenhead, vehicles on the transport ferry and seaside scenes at New Brighton. A White Star liner arrives in the port, there are views of the city's classical buildings and of a busy Church Street. After scenes of building work in the city, workers are shown returning home. |
