Yorkshire, Wakes Week, 1940's. Yorkshire mill in the foreground and countryside in the background with no smoke coming from the chimneys. An empty side street without people and a row of closed shops. A shop window with a kitten on the ledge; a sign reads "Annual Holidays, closed from June 28th - July 7th". Wakes week.
A queue of people with luggage on a pebbled square move slowly into a railway station. Close view of people with happy faces handing their tickets to the guard and boarding a red LMS passenger train. Drivers lean out of the window. The guard waves the flag. Close view of the train wheels as they begin to move and steam rises. The train leaves the station and people look out of the window.
Red brick wall with a large poster of a seaside image which reads "Blackpool". A bustling scene as crowds of people leave the train. Camera pans from the crowd to Blackpool Tower. People gather on the promenade at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The beach with people relaxing in the sun. Three men come past on donkeys. A small child builds a sandcastle. High shot of the amusement park with the ferris wheel/big wheel. Carriages move up a rollercoaster and trundle down the other side. People entering "The Greatest Show on Earth" with a large man on the door. An ice cream cart on the beach selling cones to children.
