Boulter Family Films: Girls With Toys In Garden, Becontree (1965)

Sweet film of Tony Boulter’s wife and two small girls playing up to the camera in his mother’s garden on the Becontree Estate, Dagenham.

From the Boulter Family Films collection, this shows Tony Boulter’s small children in his mother’s back garden on the Becontree Estate. They play with dolls, sit in chairs, eat an orange, wave, twirl and generally have fun. Other members of the family appear intermittently – Tony, his wife and mother – and there are also good shots of the estate and the family car, seemingly a Ford Zephyr.
