Intertitle describes how this "miniature Wembley" brings back memories of the Great Exhibition.
Scenes at the North East Coast Exhibition, the entrance towers, the bridge, buildings, pavilions, fountains etc. People in rowing boats and walking around in the sunshine. Interior of one of the pavilions with a large mechanical instrument. People are seen upside down in a large photographic lens on display. A large group of people walk around a metal staircase looking at the exhibits. The name Doxford and Sons is visible. C/Us of mechanical innovations. Captain Fryatt's heroic ship the "Brussels" is evoked by an exhibit. Handicrafts are demonstrated - making fishing nets and stained glass windows. Entrance to the African Village. Inside the Village there is traditional dancing and musicians. A small monkey knocks a man's hat off and a lion tamer performs a routine with a group of lions inside a cage. Shot of a large roller-coaster and a water splash ride.
Was item in Pathe Pictorial issue 593.

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
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.
