Description

We open with a family group walking towards the camera, a little boy playing with a dog and two men playing leap-frog (may be shot near the family farm at Stonesby in Leicestershire). We then cut to an airfield (may be Southampton) followed by views of Jersey including children playing on an empty beach and posing for the camera with a Jersey cow. We also see views of coastline and a shot of a German war cemetery (grave markers have Swastikas) on the island. The next section shows Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire including animals in enclosures (bear, polar bear, elephants and a tiger) and shots of other animals roaming free across the park. The final section shows views of Blackpool including a child with a dog on the beach, the busy boating lake, donkeys on the beach and trams.
