This is a film from a collection of home movies made by Jack Johnson of Pontefract.  It shows the family visiting various places in north and west Yorkshire, including the 900th Anniversary of Selby Abbey. Title – Jack Johnson Presents Volume Two of his Yorkshire Scrapbook The film starts with paintings of various places and landscapes of Yorkshire which are on display at an outdoor art exhibition.  The film moves onto climbers who are atop the rocks overlooking Ilkley.  This is followed by the Ilkley outdoor swimming pool where boys, still dressed in their swimwear, are playing football on the lawn.  Others are fishing and swimming in a river, and there is a shot of Coopers Antiques shop in Ilkley.  They go on to wander around Aberford village, and the alms houses can be seen before moving onto Hovingham Hall.  At Temple Newton near Leeds, Lizzie and mother are walking around the park and greenhouses.  They next visit Selby at the time of the 900th Anniversary of the Abbey.  There is a parade through the town centre which is led by the Mayor.  The parade is shown going in and then out of the church.  In Scarborough harbour fishing boats can be seen as well as shots of the Grand Hotel and the cliff lift before they take the miniature train ride and the Astro Glide.  At Burton Agnes Hall, they visit the grounds and going along the coast.  Next to Darrington Church where there paintings are on exhibition mark its anniversary.  There are stalls and historical photos as well as shots looking inside the church at the stained glass windows.  The film finishes with views of Pontefract in autumn.
