Wimbledon Tennis Finals and other Family Outings


Lovely home movie footage of family outings captured in 1927 by the Simonds family from Suffolk, including rare coverage of the Wimbledon Singles Finals, and a trip to the iconic coastal landform and natural wonder, the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. The footage is definitely "of its time", showing period dress that includes more modest sportswear - the standard dress for women means blouse and long skirt, or for men, shirt and long trousers.
