They are middle aged women in Macintoshes and hats. M/S of two other women sitting on the pier chatting. M/S of elderly woman holding a fishing rod.

Great shot of woman casting off with ships in the background off the pier. "And after hours of Faith, Hope and dexterity - catches - " C/U of a woman holding up a rod with a flat fish attached to the hook. The fish spins around and she smiles.

Researcher Comments

British Pathe - reference to ‘The Minstrel Boy’ might be a reference to a popular song from a musical of the time.
