This is a film of the Cass Family, in Selby, including the family at home and on holiday in Scarborough, various motoring events, and the launching of ships from Cochrane & Sons Shipbuilders. (B&W)  The film begins showing Whitby Abbey from across the harbour, with houses in the foreground.  A group of people, including a woman carrying a baby, emerge from a shop and get into a car and drive off with their luggage in the boot.  There is a view down onto Selby and factories, with the river and market place, taken from a church tower.  Some children sit making what looks like necklaces, and then two women walk away from The Ritz cinema.  People are walking over the Toll Bridge.  This is followed by the Whit procession through the town centre, with small children dressed in white.  A man and women walk across the street holding the hands of their small daughter.  The procession continues with the Girl Guides and the Methodist Church contingent behind their banner.  A man collects money from cars as they cross the Toll Bridge. The film switches to a house where a woman is finishing her dinner, while outside in the back yard there is a small girl dressed in white.  Back inside a woman does her hair up as a boy lounges on a chair.  Back at the Toll Bridge more cars are paying for the crossing, and shoppers wander around the market.  A steam boat passes through the swing bridge.  Behind the Toll Bridge is the Swan flour works.  A man holding an accordion is talking to a small crowd gathered around him.  Two men ride on bicycles around the back yard where the small girl is, while a teenage girl and two smaller children walk along a road, with the shop ‘Sutcliffe’s’ behind them. The film then shows the front cover of an article on a Roman Hypocaust.  A woman sits on a bench in front of a stone bridge, and thenn a main shopping road with a church can be seen.  The church has a tall steeple, at the end.  Then a group of people are walking along a coast, clamouring over the rocks.  A woman pushing a pram walks along a street, and is then seen on a beach. There is a man with a budgie on his hand, followed by a carnival marching through the streets of Selby, with people in fancy dress, a scout’s band and floats.  A fire engine goes past followed by a lorry, belonging to H Campey & Son, haulage contractors of Selby, carrying air raid wardens.  This is followed by an event in the school grounds, with motorcyclists going through flaming loops and a demonstration of the unperturbed nature of a police horse and a high wire act. There is then a journey filmed from the front of a car before arriving at a seaside town, where a man with a camera slung over his shoulder makes some adjustments to a child’s pram.  A group of four men, a small dog and a boy take a walk along a beach.  There is brief scene down by some rocks on a seafront followed by a wedding, with the bride arriving with her father, followed by the guests.  After the ceremony the newlyweds and bridesmaids have confetti thrown over them, and they pose for photos before some of them slowly walk past the cine camera. (Col.)   Four women, a man and two children sit near the seaside and then go to the Parade Boating Pool.  The film returns to the Abbey at Selby, and a woman walking through some gardens. (B&W)  Two men stand in a garden with a small dog.  A man and a woman chat on a doorstep, and in the back garden a woman chats with her neighbour.  The film switches again to winter and the docks covered in snow and the frozen river.  A man and a woman walk away from the Toll Bridge, and there are barges in the river which look to be covered in snow.  The man and woman are again seen out in the snow.  People are out skating on the ice.  A group of women and girls are walking along a bank with a sailor. A bride is escorted by her father to a car waiting outside their home.  They arrive at a church, walking up the steps, and after the ceremony the newlyweds emerge and are showered with confetti.  A small girl and boy walk towards the camera, followed by the newlyweds and the bridesmaids.  Then another couple lead out guests from a church and pose for the camera, on their own and in a group.  They too get showered in confetti as they get into a waiting car.  There is a wedding cake, and two girls with two women playing ball with a dog in a garden, and the film comes to an end.
