This film is from a collection of films made by Leeds based filmmaker Jack Goldberg.

Title-But to begin
Title-Roundhay Park, mid-February.
There are shots of a lake with people sitting around it. Edith Goldberg gets two ice cream cones from an ice cream van. Some people can be seen in the distance walking across a cricket pitch. There is a brief shot of the toddler in the playground and a shot of a small baby asleep in a pram.
The small toddler, who is now a bit older, is playing on a toy tractor with his younger sister. In the next shot, the little sister and a woman help to push the boy around on a cart with wheels.
Another family gathering in a house; a table is laden with food and a man pretends to put his finger into the trifles. Behind him a menorah, a Jewish candlestick, is visible. Elsewhere in the room some women sit around chatting.
There are some brief shots of a man in a river who has fallen out of his canoe; it is full of water and he takes his wet shirt off. The other shot is taken from the top of a waterfall looking down. A man, dressed in a tee-shirt and shorts, is swimming around with a snorkel. He is throwing things in the direction of the rocks on the side.
The next shots show the Goldbergs at home. The family are young adults now and Edith and her son smile at the camera and then the son plays his guitar for the camera. Jack Goldberg plays the guitar too. Following this, they all head out into the garden and stand around talking and looking at the camera. The daughter puts a flower in her hair and her brother gives her a hug. There is another girl in these shots; it is possible that she is another daughter or a cousin.
Title-Scarbro Pasach 1957.
Shots of very rough sea and huge waves crashing over the sea wall.
Title-Next day the Dales.
A car drives up a road, through a village towards the camera.
A sign in a window tells visitors that it is lambing time and that they should keep their dogs on a lead and away from the sheep.
Rock climbers are climbing up a cliff face high above the camera. A queue of people waits to climb up the path towards the top. The next shots show a country village and people wandering around it.
There are shots of mountains taken from the window of a plane.

A group of men and women enter a building with a sign `Baby Home and Child Centre'. Shot of them all coming out again.
The visitors visit the Wailing Wall or Western Wall in Jerusalem. Several Orthodox Jews dressed in black suits, hats and with long sideburns walk around.
A group of women leave a building; they are all carrying oranges and are laughing.
A group of women stand outside a building while one of them officially `opens' the building. There is a brief shot of donkeys and camels at the side of the road and of a field with black statues in it.
