Description

We see views shot from a boat travelling along a canal including passing through lock gates. There are also shots of a river (the Trent in Nottinghamshire) followed by more canal shots including passing through a lock gate thick with river foam. There are some interior views showing that we are travelling on a pleasure boat with group of older women. We then see another outing to a religious shrine by coach followed by views of a parked British Midland aircraft and views inside an airport (very dark - may be East Midlands Airport). The next sequence shows Market Drayton in Shropshire including a view of the Buttercross followed by a group of women walking in the grounds of a church and posing next to the village sign for Norton in Hales. After a short sequence showing a beach with pier in background we see more views from a boat travelling along a canal. The final section shows an outing by coach to Stapleford Park in Leicestershire including views of the manor house and the women riding on a miniature railway and miniature ship.
