| Description: | Exhibitions; agriculture. G.E. Rly's Egg & Poultry Demonstration train; visited by many throughout the eastern counties; and filmed here at Stowmarket. Opens with great shot of people looking at display in the train: Nicely dressed children; a brother & sister; and father with arm around the girl; stand looking intently at large jars of eggs; as if it's an egg museum and a great learning experience. Shot of train; exterior; with a few men walking alongside the cars; pan back showing car with sign "Egg & Poultry Demonstration". Raised camera panning over heads of crowd gathered outside train; with a man standing in door of train making a speech expounding upon the virtues of eggs; one would suppose. This could easily be a politician; or some kind of patent medicine salesman in the American west; too. | |
