Description

The film begins with shots of two large buildings. This is followed by footage of a rag day parade at Sheffield in 1955. Includes people dressed in fancy dress (Ku Klux Klan features) and floats. Next is a high angle shot of a park in colour. An intertitle announces the next section: 'Nottingham Jan 1955' and we see buildings at the University of Nottingham including Florence Boot Hall and the Trent Building. It ends with shots of two young men (students?) with suitcases who wait at the bus stop at the Beeston end of University Boulevard.
