Title number: 830
LSA ID: LSA/1100
Description: A mixture of apparently unrelated snippets of film recording the activities of a family. The film begins with footage of a steam locomotive pulling carriages into a large railway terminus, while passengers walk along the platforms. The next shots show a woman walking down the drive from an impressive house and a family walking in a park. A smartly dressed group of two men and a woman walk arm in arm across the lawn of a large stone built building (possibly a hotel) with chairs and a table in the garden. The same trio are filmed walking up a slope in a heath land area. A man in plus fours runs madly down a hillock. A brief shot records a woman walking through what appears to be a London park. The next scene is very dark and appears to be shot inside a house where some people play with a small dog. The final shot show a man and a woman waling near a ruined Abbey.
