A well shot amateur film by a gentleman from Cawthorne, near Barnsley in South Yorkshire, that capture the essence of village life at Gala. Each year the village would have wonderfully decorated floats that would make their way down the small streets. They were bright and colourful, and the village children would have good fancy dress costumes that fitted in with the theme of each float.
The film opens with views of each themed float. The themes include: 'The Lost World', Peter Pan complete with crocodile, Kim, one called Liberta that had a harmless but fully functioning mock guillotine, a Trojan Horse that is surrounded by small children in white robes, a good scale model of the Taj Mahal and finally Gulliver from Gulliver's Travellers- a life size paper mache model of a giant surrounded by small children.
