Description

First we see shots of children in a fancy dress parade in a fete, possibly at Boultham Works, Lincoln. Next we see a compilation of various railway scenes including a family with a picnic in a field next to a main line as steam hauled express trains pass (1960s). We also see visits to the Vale of Rheidol and Talyllyn narrow gauge railways in Wales. We also see a railway parade (possibly at Rainhill in 1980). We then see images from 1980 of two of the children grown up in a garden in Mouldsworth, Cheshire (with partners). Finally we see shots of an older couple working in the garden.
