Beach Scenes

Lewis Rosenberg and his friends enjoy a camping holiday near Newquay in the 1930s - with dancing, kissing, physical jerks and surfing

This charming film from Lewis Rosenberg shows him and a party of friends on a jolly camping holiday at Holywell Bay near Newquay. Here they dance to a wind-up gramophone and cavort on the beach, while a group of uniformed girls make a human pyramid and exercise with adult leaders. After views of Newquay the men go surfing at sunset. Scenes of harvesting follow before it's time to say goodbye to the hotel staff and head for home by the Great Western Railway.
