M/S of another part of the model town where many people are wandering about; the real Cathedral is seen in the background; the model Cathedral is at the right of shot. Various M/Ss of visitors (and a rather reluctant dog on a lead) looking round the model town.
M/S of the real King's Head Hotel; partly covered with ivy; cut to M/S of the model hotel as an elderly man enters pic and starts to trim the tufty ivy covering it. M/S of a boy looking at one of the model buildings; pan left to in C/U two shop windows; an upholsters' and a clock shop, complete with tiny model goods inside. Commentator says "This town-within-a-town is the brainchild of Mr C A Coffen, of Ferndown, and cost £10,000.
C/U of the clock shop as a broom comes into shot and sweeps along the pavement; M/S of Harold Stroud "who acts as gardener, maintenance man, road sweeper and window cleaner", as he sweeps the streets of the model town. We also see him cleaning the windows and then a church pew from the Cathedral in a greenhouse. He climbs inside the Cathedral to replace it as some elderly ladies sitting on a bench watch.
Panning M/S of the village; possibly the view from the Cathedral (?). M/Ss of children looking at the model buildings; then M/S taken from the height of the first floor windows of the model shops as the camera tracks along and stops outside Top and Boleen's Wallpaper shop.
