Short travelogue extolling the virtues of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire.
General view panning over countryside around the ancient market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, taken from a hill or roof. Ruins in foreground. Pan right to town.
M/S of The Bull Inn (town centre), where Oliver Cromwell once stayed. General view of modern buildings - a new school and community centre called 'Ivanhoe' (?). Schoolchildren are seen coming out of the school and working on flowerbeds outside the community centre.
Several shots of ruins. General view of broad street in town centre (Market Street?). Traffic moving along; shops on either side; people walking along; some old timbered buildings seen on the right.
Cataloguer's note: I've always been fascinated by the exotic name of this town - now I know what it looks like!
