Scenes of everyday family life in Norwich in 1938
The first scenes in this compilation are believed to have been shot at Woodrow Pilling Park at Thorpe, near Norwich. A toddler, possibly male, runs around. There are other children present and they are playing with a woman. An older child, a girl, rides a tricycle along a path. The shot pulls back to reveal a woman pushing a pram and the toddler running along. The toddler runs towards the camera. The girl is on a swing in the trees and there are further shots of the toddler running around.Many titles follow but with no pictures to accompany them.The next scenes show two older boys in a garden. They fight. A 12 day old baby, Keith Barry, is pictured in the arms of an ample woman who may be a nurse. She is pictured with the two older boys who wave to the camera. A kitten plays in the garden.A shot shows a posed family group of several generations. The boys play with their dog and there are further pictures of kittens playing. A man on a beach pushes a pram and there are scenes of a ball game. This takes place at the foot of some cliffs, suggesting that these may be shot near Cromer.The final scenes are taken in the countryside. A woman stands near a gate and then the boys come down a land accompanied by a man who appears to be their grandfather. There is a brief shot of the family group to close.
