North, South and Neath


High days and holidays: at the seaside, Vernon Hudson (1924-1969) practises the art of throwing stones with his two eldest children, and films the pair not firing the cannons at Caernarfon Castle. At Mumbles, with pier, lifeboat station and railway, a bat-and-ball game provdes amusement for adults relaxing in deckchairs; more adventurous fun is provided elsewhere, on the Barry Island Scenic Railway. And Neath welcomes Billy Smart’s Circus.
