Jack Bellamy delivers post to remote houses on the moors with the help of Tosca the horse.
Jack rides the horse down to a river to drink. Various shots of the rapid flowing river. Jack rides over a stream and up a country lane. Various shots of Jack delivering a newspaper to an old woman - Mrs. Skitterly - holding a ferret (Henrietta). More shots of Jack riding across rough moorland terrain and streams. The postman stops at a remote farm. A woman and a little boy feed Tosca bits of bread.
Jack gave up running his post office nine years ago at the age of sixty to do this delivery round.
Cuts exist - please see separate record.

WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
