This is a film made by an amateur filmmaker from Sheffield, Jean Gray, of her family on days out, including at Filey for Haye-on-Wye, and at home, including at Christmas.  They feature his son and daughter, Peter and Julie. Title - Here and There in 1957 Peter and his sister Julie are out on the hills looking down onto a valley.  There is another boy playing with a black dog.  Peter rolls in the grass and swings in a tree, which he then climbs.  Julie pets the dog.  Then, together with two elderly women and an elderly man, they walk along a country road. The film switches to Julie skipping about in the back garden.  There is a brief shot of a balding man with a moustache, and then Peter too is in the back garden on a tricycle.  A man mows the grass, possibly their grandfather, whilst a woman, possibly her mother, plays with Julie.  Peter, Julie and the man make their way along a country lane, and again Peter climbs a tree.  They run around and play along with the man, and this time a grey haired woman, Peter and Julie’s mother, climbs a tree. The film switches again to the back garden on a hot day, with Julie and Peter, who is sitting in a white enamelled tin tub.  They are then out picnicking on a grass verge next to the car.  They set off again to a reservoir, where two boys play cricket.  Next they are on Filey beach, where they go for a dip in the sea and have a picnic on the sand.  An airplane flies very low out to sea.  Peter has a donkey ride, followed by both Peter, Julie and their mother having a ride on a pony and trek. Then there is close up film of Peter and Julie’s mother making her way up the steps to the family house. At the back of the house a man opens the garage doors and drives the family car out. The film then moves onto a garden fete where there is a children’s fancy dress parade, and then the children sit to watch a Punch and Judy show.  Back home Peter shows off his Egyptian fancy dress outfit and Julie in an Andy Pandy outfit.  Peter and his father are then at a fair where they go on various rides, such as the dodgems, and play various games, including a coconut shy and the rifle range.  Peter goes on a miniature railway.  They stop to watch a high wire act. Back home Julie sits on the lawn with a baby, who is joined by two elderly ladies.  Elsewhere they go on a different miniature railway ride, filming the journey through a park from on board.  Peter then goes on yet another miniature railway engine in a park next to a lake.  There is a pagoda in a pond.  They then visit a dam, looking down on the water as it pours over the side.  They stop to look at Stanage Edge and walk among the rocks. Intertitle – Christmas 1957 Grandmother is putting decorations on the Christmas tree.  She then sits and makes some decorations, while Peter and Julie blow up balloons in front of the coal fire.  A man enters, pretending to be a servant, and serves drinks.  Grandmother puts presents under the tree.  The whole tree looks splendid, with an angel on top.  An older boy hands out the presents to the other children.  Some presents are opened, while father cuts the turkey.  The children sit to eat at their own tables, while the adults eat at their own table.  All are wearing Christmas hats.  One man messes about while eating his turkey leg.  Afterwards an elderly woman plays cards with Peter, Julie and another child.  They then play a board game which involves throwing dice and moving a car around a map of Scotland.  Then Peter plays with his telescopic rifle in front of the TV set, while two men play on a miniature snooker table. There is a sign for Haye-on-Wye: Gateway to Wales. Peter and Julie walk along a deserted street.  They watch as, at the back of a hotel, their father puts empty bottles into beer crates.  They look out onto the village and surroundings from high up on a balcony.  Peter and Julie go down to the river and throw stones in.  There are new-born lambs in a field.  Then Peter goes on a boat on a lake with his father.  Peter and Julie walk across a field towards some horses.  They continue their journey through the valleys, stopping off at a grocery shop with a sign for the ‘Caledonian Biscuit Co. Ltd..  Two women workers from the shop dressed in white pose outside.  A road junction is shown, with a statue in the grounds of a building across the road to what might be the family house.  Then the film switches to being back in the family car, having to stop while sheep are being herded along a country road.  They continue on their journey, filmed from the front of the car.  They arrive at the Whittington Inn (in Stourbridge), showing the plaque.  Further on they stop off at a river, which is forded by a lorry.
