A Hainsworth family film which captures a selection of family holidays to Jersey, Butlins and Cooden Bay. It also contains shots of a young African boy from Sierra Leone and a wedding reception. The film begins with shots of the Hainsworth family in the garden of Lyndhurst, New Street in Farsley, There is a shot of a Morris Minor which belonged to Win Bairstow, who was a missionary in the Gold Coast, now Sierra Leone, and was a friend of Eileen Hainsworth. Miss Bairstow brought Alpha Kalay, a young African boy, back to England. There are many shots of him playing on a scooter as well as shots of him playing with Roger Hainsworth, Eileen's fourth son. Next are shots of men, women and children gathered outside the Hainsworth family holiday home near Pateley Bridge, in the sunshine; the children drink fruit juice while the adults stand and sit around talking and reading papers. A few of the women stand in front of a door and pose with the children. In the next section are shots of the family group standing on a rocking stone at Brimham Rocks. There are some very brief shots of Bempton Cliffs with Peter Raper, a surgeon from Leeds, and his family at the seaside at Bridlington where we see the Yorkshire Belle boat. There is a long sequence of footage from the wedding of Mary Hainsworth and Rodney Dodds at Farsley Baptist Church and following that, seaside scenes at Gorey in Jersey. The castle can be seen in the background. In the next section there is footage of the Hainsworths at Bolton Abbey and shots of the Bishop of Bradford, Donald Coggan conducting a service there. Then the Hainsworth family are in the Dales and Robert Hainsworth, Peter's second son, points out a date on a gravestone at Fewston. There are also shots of a family picnic at West End in Yorkshire and the deserted village which was flooded by the Thruscross reservoir. This is followed by a brief shot of Alpha Kalay at Lyndhurst. There are scenes of a Royal visit by the Queen Mother to Oundle, the public school near Peterborough, which the four Hainsworth sons attended. There is a celebration to mark the school's 400th anniversary. Next are shots of a Farsley Baptist church outing to Sizergh Castle in Cumbria and the Hainsworth boys swimming in the flooded moor near their holiday home at Pateley. The next shots are of a family holiday with Alpha Kalay at Cooden Bay and at Butlins in Filey. The film ends with a very short clip of the wedding of Christopher and Nellie Cordingley.
