A Spring Holiday

It's April 1935 and Edwin Elliott leaves his Birmingham home armed with a cine camera bound for the South West of England. Early in the season he captures horse riding on a quiet beach at Weston super Mare and scenes in sleepy Dawlish and Torquay far from the bustle of high season. Picturesque Clovelly also features: a real favourite amongst home movie makers with its steep cobbled streets and donkey rides back up to the top of the village.
