Overview

Views over Danson Lake open this account of a local primary school event, which took place within view of the Georgian Grade I listed building, Danson House. Races, lovely examples of children's clothing from the era and many enjoyable scenes –the ultra competitive parents race is not to be missed – make up this splendid amateur film.
