Overview

Gorgeous colour footage of a flowery garden with people strolling and sunbathing. A dog scampers while doves perch. There’s also footage of swans on a river or lake. Location is unknown, but it’s taken from the Telephone Cables collection. Telephone Cables Ltd was a large firm based in Dagenham that were later taken over by Associated Electrical Industries. This possibly shows a social event.
