George Sloane's film starts by looking at the glass façade of the Civic Offices, built in the International Style, before moving to the city’s neo-classical Guildhall with its tall clock tower - famous for ringing out the Pompey Chimes. We next see the Cenotaph and War Memorial and then return to the recently redeveloped square. After visiting Queen Victoria's statue, the Central Library is seen in all its New Brutalist glory before we end with a final look at the Clock Tower.
