Title - Skipton
The picture during this portion of the film is of poor quality due to an obstruction in the camera gate. Most of it takes place in the city centre and also features a steam train.
The next portion of the film features cars on a country road in the Dales. A man waits by his car, and the surrounding area of countryside can be seen. There is also a young boy walking by the ruins of an old church.
A group of children are out playing in the school yard on swings in Halifax. Some of the boys of the group can be seen running around the hills as well as rolling down and doing other acrobatic stunts before they sit together and smile for the camera.
At the Norland Show, there is a crowd of people gathered as a cow show takes place, and there is a portion of a family picnic.
Children splash around in the stream while others sit on the embankment.
In the final portion of the film, a family walks around a large garden by a country house. And a group on the top of the hill, dressed in long coats, wave at the camera. They then stage a pretend fight on the hills before returning to the bottom and meeting up with the rest of the group.
