| Description: | DUKE of YORK the conscientious President of the Industrial Welfare Society - spends a day with the workers under actual working conditions in great boot factories. Northampton, Northamptonshire. M/S of the Prince walking across the factory floor, the 'boss' stops at a work bench and explains to the Prince what is being done. The Prince picks up and examines a half-made boot, before talking to an elderly man. Various shots of the back of the Prince's head as he talks to workers. The Prince appears to try his hand at boot making - impossible to see what he does as view is obstructed by a crowd of factory officials. More shots of the Prince walking through the factory, more shots of the crowd outside the factory. | |
