The Barnes Brothers' Filmic Review starts with views of London followed by a woman artist at work. Next, Kent farm workers gather hay while Birchington holds its annual carnival - with bands, floats and people in fancy dress processing around the town. We also see Cobhams Air Circus in action followed by summer crowds on Margate's beach and its Lido. Note the two women promenading 'backless' - considered daring at the time. We end with dramatic shots of the rocks at Land's End
