Summary

Pathe synopsis: Fibre-glass magic - that’s the story of success at the Skegness factory where they’ve created a nursery rhyme wonderland in this surprising substance. Glass shredded so fine they weave it into cloth and with a dab [illegible word] of polyester resin it sets hard as an elephant’s hide. Then this bespoke bestiary transforms the vintage car railway at Skegness Holiday Camp and we take a ride through a truly loony zoo.
