Holywell streets and Bala Sailing Club


As the town clock indicates, it's 3 o'clock and everyone – young and old - is out on the streets of Holywell, doing their Saturday shopping. Many of the women carry wicker baskets – the age of the plastic bag has not yet dawned! Woolworth's is busy and cauliflowers are available at the greengrocer's for Sunday's lunch. Footage follows of Bala Sailing Club, showing racing on Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid) and the smart, modern clubhouse.
