An amateur travelogue shot during a family visit to Liverpool and Southport
in the 1930s. The title refers to an industrial exhibition, probably held in
Southport, which the Andrew family, from Bolton, visit in the latter part of the
film. The film starts with some short Liverpool street scenes featuring two
children and their mother, followed by a brief shot of the Victoria Monument in
Derby Square. Panoramic views taken from the Overhead Railway feature Victoria
Tower in Salisbury Dock, ships in dock, the façade of a warehouse, a vast
complex of dockside buildings and a large crane operated by a group of
dockworkers. Views of Liver Building and Pier Head Landing Stage from a ferry on
the Mersey. Scenes on beach at New Brighton: children playing on the beach;
views across the river of the industrial skyline of the northern docks. Shots of
New Brighton pier and Fort Perch Lighthouse. Travelling shot from a train bound
for Southport. Children and families enjoy a swim at Southport Lido. Children in
dress perform dance routines to adults in a park or garden. Scenes at the
Electrical Exhibition: the exhibition site, an escape artist and a water
diviner.
