Description

A 68 year old man looking at a series of photos of himself aged 16 - he’s part of a group at a ‘Woodparty’ at Brean (?) Sands. Talks about collecting wood for a bonfire, meeting a second group of Sunday school teenagers, a gathering storm (hence the black sky in one photo).

Last photo is of the man in his maintenance boiler suit with his workmates just before he retired. Elderly man talks about picking up coal when he was a child. General shots around the hall - playing dominos, queueing for drinks, chatting.
A series of photos of children and adults. ‘Fives Alive’ song played on soundtrack at the beginning of this piece. Quotes from the subjects are superimposed over their photos (rough cut?)
