Visitors to the seaside are usually in search of sun and fun, but the people on Blackpool promenade in this fascinating reel from filmmaker Henry Iddon have a much more serious purpose in mind.

This film film records their march against the atom bomb, and the subsequent rally on the beach, where, packed as tightly as any August bank holiday crowd, they listen to speakers, including Canon John Collins.
