Description

We see trolley buses in Wolverhampton town centre including passing the ABC cinema. This is followed by cows in a field, a brief view of Birnbeck pier at Weston super Mare and a holiday cottage with flowers in the garden. We then see point of view shots driving over the Severn Bridge. There are more views of a garden with flowers followed by a country show which includes children wearing costumes riding ponies, hounds from a hunt and briefly horn dancers (looks like the Abbots Bromley group). We then see views of Bibury in Gloucestershire and a row of stone cottages. Next we visit Torquay including views of the exterior of the Livermead Cliff Hotel and a visit to a stately home and a small car ferry. We then return to Wolverhampton for a view of an open space covered with snow and some very dark shots of Christmas lights in the town.
