A cinema advertisement for Thomas Peatling & Son, wine and spirit merchants, King's Lynn

At Peatling's shops at 71, High Street, Kings Lynn one of the company's lorries is parked outside. Barrels fill the cellar; warehousemen roll barrels out of the Peatling bonded warehouse on Purfleet Quay, King's Lynn. The barrels are loaded onto a lorry which drives off, while another pulls up. At the bottling premises on High Street, King's Lynn, a worker fills a bottle with sherry from a cask and then uses a hand operated corking machine. Shelves are loaded with wrapped bottles, and there is a close-up of a bottle of 'Johncup' whisky.
