John Clague's film begins with men constructing frames and laying concrete girders. Metal frames are assembled and lifted into place by a crane as we get an occasional glimpse of the sea beneath. Men in suits visit the site as more of the Pavilion is completed. On opening day, the Mayor and Mayoress chat with visitors while the sports hall and squash courts are seen in use. Decayed sections of the old pier are seen on the beach as well as the now isolated original landing stage.
