Summary

Pathe synopsis: A flat land of tulips and canals - yes, Holland - but Holland with a difference, for this is situated in Lincolnshire. The occasion of our visit to Spalding, where 76% of all English tulip bulbs come from, is the annual Tulip Time festival. Highlight is the crowning of "Miss Tulipland" followed by a colourful parade through the surrounding countryside.
