Description

Brief shot of Boston railway station. We then see three women and a man leaving a house and sitting on a bench in the garden. Continuing in Boston we see views of the River Witham with pleasure cruisers visible followed by the docks where we see freighters being loaded. Next we have an establishing shot of Coventry Cathedral followed by views of the shopping precinct in the city.

We continue with another garden including tomatoes in a greenhouse. Next on a street a man cleans the windscreen of an Austin Cambridge car and is joined by other people and the car drives off. We are in a seaside town as we see two women sitting on a bench shaking the sand from their shoes. Point of view shot driving along a road in the Austin. We then see a man painting a number on a gate and two women in a garden with a bonfire (likely to be the Brown family home on the Wells Road in St Ann's, Nottingham).
