| Description: | Petition to HM the Queen Newlyn, Cornwall. Various shots of quaint but ramshackle fishing village. We see people going about their daily business on steep, narrow streets between picturesque old cottages. There are some signs of poverty - broken roofs covered with tarpaulin etc. The authorities have decided to pull down the old cottages as part of a slum clearance scheme. In response the women of Newlyn have sent a petition to Queen Elizabeth (Queen Mother) asking her to save their picturesque village from demolition. | |
