A short amateur film that features Newcastle builder William Leech standing with a group of men outside a church looking over plans possibly for its conversion into the new headquarters of the local Boys Brigade. They watch as a steel girder is unloaded and manoeuvred towards the building. Inside men work to move the girder into position in the eaves of the church. William Leech and six other men stands in a street looking up at a church. He holds up an architectural plan and they all stand around him chatting with some points at it and then up at the building. They begin to walk across the street passing a ‘REEDS’ crane parked in the street which lifts a large steel girder into the air towards the building which can now be seen to have a single tower. In the background a yellow Newcastle Corporation double-decker bus passes along a different road. On the other side of the street another lorry is parked while a man stands at the control of the crane which continues to manoeuvre the girder towards the columned entranceway of the church where a workman is standing. Behind him the group of men are watching. More men work to manoeuvre the girder around the entranceway. [B&W] High up inside the eaves of the church an arched decorative ceiling with skylight. A ladder rests against another steel girder. Below the men chat with another man wearing a Scottish piper’s or Boys Brigade Field Service hat. The camera pans along the steel girders that are bolted together. On the ground floor workmen manoeuvre another steel girder into position inside the building, an unseen crane lifts the metal slowly into position. One man stands on another girder which is not securely attached to the floor, it wobbles as he pulls on the other girder moving it into the correct position. A second worker holds the girder in place using steel ropes as the first workmen threads metal wire through a hole in the girder holding in position. The film ends on other workmen assisting in the operation and the camera panning around the interior of the church, stencilled around an archway the words ‘Holy Holy Lord God All Mighty’.
