An amateur film featuring views around the Hopping Fair on the Town Moor at Newcastle includes a 'strong man' flexing his muscles for the camera., two women fortune tellers and a man dressed in a scary clown’s costume. The film includes an inter-title relating to flying at Cramlington that has nothing to do with this film. Inside a tent a strongman flexes his muscles for the camera, behind him two women stand watching him as well as the camera. A banner hangs down above the strong man, only pat of the writing is visible; ‘From the Welsh Mountains’. Title: Flying at Cramlington 5th July 1930 A stuff dog or pinata hangs in the air from a line or rope. A couple stand beside a box of wooden balls behind them a coconut shy. Nearby three boy watch over another box of wooden balls behind them another shy game. Crowds walk past a long line of similar games. The name written on a banner across a bumper car or dodgem ride reads ‘Palm Beach Amusements Limited’. A stall sells lemon and ginger drinks. People enjoy spinning around on both a swing boat and swing ride. A crowd gather around watching those on a carousel including a woman and her baby in a pram. A man dressed as a clown with a scary face, at his feet a sack. Another stall appears to sell cakes, teas, and soft drinks. One man blows up and sells balloons while another stands beside a set of scales attempting to guess the weight of the young man he is talking to. A baby in its pram, a child’s windmill blowing in the wind. A female palm reader or fortune teller stands in the entrance way of her tent or caravan beside a series of banners surrounding her the largest of which reads ‘The Original Patronised by Royalty’. A second woman identified by a sign next to her as ‘Gipsy Dorothy’ has a banner above her head that reads ‘The Original Expert Palmist’. Away from the showground several traveller caravans, a young girl sits on the back of one watching over a cooking pot. Two women walk across the now empty Town Moor, only the caravans are left. The film ends on an attraction being packed away in a caravan.
