Overview

That wonderful flush of summer-come-early is captured by Topical Budget's camera, as they record happy holidaymakers spending Easter on Margate's sands. The newsreels were always on the look out for light-hearted, cheery subjects, and loved to show the British public at play. Here we see a beach-loving crowd enjoying the traditional seaside pleasures of sandcastles, paddling, digging and deckchairs.
