Description

We see tomatoes growing in a Dale greenhouse in Leominster followed by views of saplings growing. We then visit the Three Counties Show at Hereford which was held in June 1956. There are views of the F.H. Dale trade stand as well as a parade of Hereford cattle, dignitaries opening the show and a gathering of people inside a marquee. Next we visit the Royal Show held in July 1956 in Newcastle upon Tyne. After exterior views of people gathered outside the Embassy Hotel and walking towards the venue we see two women walking around inspecting the stands and shots of the F.H. Dale display. There are also views of horses being paraded and sheep on show as well as more Hereford cattle and bulls. Back in Leominster we see turkeys in a shed and views of the exterior of Eyton Hall and grounds.
