Family Holidays

Three summer holidays feature in Ernest Freelove's film - with beach frolics, miniature trains and Grandma's 1930s style mobility scooter

Ernest Freelove's film shows three summer holidays beginning in 1935 with the family heading for the beach in bathrobes. We next visit the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway followed by a return to the beach. Grandma drives her carriage along a road while the family follows on bikes. 1936 sees more beach antics and a sight of a German airship followed by a return to the RHDR. 1937 sees more frolics on the beach and in the surf while a couple ride a bike with a sidecar for their baby.
