Tenbury Show


This typical 1950s agricultural show at Tenbury Wells in Worcestershire (on a sunny day for once) was filmed by Frank Dale from Leominster. Mr Dale, who was in the agricultural building business, had a keen interest in all things equine and he concentrates his filming on the horses from the show jumpers to the shires. The Dale family were also keen show jumping competitors and are seen loading their saddles at the start of the film.
