- Titles read: 'Hereford May Fair.' (Hereford and Worcester.)
Very entertaining shots of funfair rides set up in street, including one w/ swing seats hanging from a large spinning spool. Various shots of this ride in motion; then w/ a new group of people getting on.
Pan over street blocked off for fair; w/ many tents set up; crowds swarming about. Bumper or dodgem cars. Carousel / merry-go-round. A giant circular slide built around a big model of a lighthouse (helter skelter); Closer shot of bottom of slide: people coming down it; sliding toward camera; laughing (looks like good fun - some people fall right off the end!). People trying to walk on a bridge which is bouncing and shaking (cakewalk).
Amusement park; recreation; fun; silly; wacky; fairground. Festivals.

The steam engines which hauled the rides around were fitted with large dynamos and generated all the power for the rides to run
