Starting with bustling merchant ships at Camber Docks, our film moves to the busy junction at Elm Grove in Southsea. Trolleybuses abound, collecting and dropping off their passengers. Note that there are many cyclists and pedestrians but only a few motor cars on the roads. The film then shows Portsmouth's Commercial Road, with the Theatre Royal in the background before ending at Guildhall Square - each busy with citizens, trolleybuses and post-war atmosphere.
