A day long-awaited, no doubt, by Llanelli’s army of shop assistants: a trip to Devon, July 1913, on one of P & A Campbell’s paddle steamers. Filmed by James Haggar for screening at ‘Haggar’s Theatre’ in the town, a cinema he managed for his father, the production included shots of “somewhat humorous incidents on board” (Llanelly Mercury 17/7/1913). Sadly, all that remains of this film is this recently discovered, damaged fragment, containing the opening shots in Llanelli.
