Brett family's trip to Broadstairs


This family film from the Thirties begins with toddlers playing in a large garden. The Brett family are then seen leaving their home and getting into the family car. In Broadstairs, they walk down a steep path towards the crowded beach where the children play. Later, daughter Pat celebrates her sixth birthday as family and friends come to visit and play in the garden. We see the children with their pets and toy prams and later two old men are seen playing golf on the lawn.
