Fun at Rhyl


What times were had on the free funfair rides at Marine Lake & Ocean Beach, Rhyl, destination of many a Sunday School and chapel outing across the decades. David E Sutcliffe, a BBC stringer based in Anglesey, was commissioned to make this film advertising summer fun during the winter months. The lack of crowds and appropriate weather account for its brevity!
