Holiday in Saundersfoot 1953


The Healey family from Heywood arrive in Saundersfoot and head straight for the beach on foot, Dad filming the excited procession: his wife Majorie and daughters Angela (b.1941), Vivien (b.1946), Rachel (b.1948). They pass a cow being milked in a field, a minstrel in a car park and Green's Motor buses. Scrambling down the sea wall frightens the youngest but Dad is distracted by a twin-boom aircraft overhead. A boat being lifted out of the water also proves interesting.
