Coles: Jenny's Farm at Ilam, Derbyshire

The Coles family enjoy life on the farm at Ilam in Derbyshire and Flintham in Nottinghamshire.

It's 1941 and momentous events are occurring around the world but life continues uninterrupted in rural Britain. Fading memories from the Coles family album show farm animals amongst the distinctive Derbyshire dry stone walls of Ilam and the family picnicking beside the haystacks during an English summer at Flintham in Nottinghamshire. Holidays to the Peak District beauty spots of Monsal Dale and Chee Dale complete this reel of 9.5mm film.
