Amateur film of (possibly) Royal Agricultural Show 1956 (Town Moor, Newcastle) display of agricultural machinery including tractors and combine harvesters; farm horses in competition. Views follow of various agricultural machines as part of a parade. The first on view is a van and trailer with the business name of ‘Doves’ painted on the side of the van. A grey tractor follows with an enclosed cabin for the driver and an additional piece of equipment attached to the rear. Other tractors appear each with a different specialist accessory attached, a combine harvester is driven past the camera. The film changes to show a male rider on horseback. Possibly an event competitor waiting to be called for his turn. The film ends with side on view showing one of the heavier breed of shire horses used for ploughing, presented in pristine appearance for the camera.
