One in a large collection of family films portraying the Cooper family of Leeds. This particular film comprises images of family orientation during the year 1964 and the building of their new bungalow - Rondor - on Over Lane in Rawdon. Car parked at the side of the road. Bungalows in the distance. The Cooper's new bungalow in Over Lane, Rawdon. The overgrown garden contains a lot of rubble and timber. View of the bungalow from across the street. Piles of bricks at the side of the road. Dora (Ron's wife) stands in the garden of the bungalow looking at a bush. She talks to the camera and points towards the foundations that have been dug in the back garden for an extension. Dora walks around the garden. There are piles of rubble and ladders on the roof where a skylight is being fitted and two wheelbarrows lean against a wall. Group of builders working in the garden. Cement mixer in the background. Some of the builders are mixing cement, some are building the walls of the extension. One of the walls is built, and Dora opens a window from inside the bungalow and looks out. The building process - from just a pile of rubble there is a full wall, providing a big extension to the existing bungalow. Building work is taking place on at least two sides of the house. Dora picks her way across the rubble and makes her way up a plank that is leaning against some scaffolding. The roof of the extension is now complete. A part rendered wall. Dora talks to the camera, she is standing outside the new bungalow. Views through a window frame of the unfinished extension. There is no roof and one of the walls has not been built. A chimney has been built on the side of one of the extensions. Both extensions are finished, apart from lack of rendering and some roof tiles. Dora stands on some steps next to what appears to be a garage. A garden wall has been built in the same brick as the house, and a new garage behind the house. Rendering has begun on the back of the house. The garden has been cleared of rubble, leaving empty soil - pan along the wall which has room for flowers to be planted on top. Work has begun on laying the patio with crazy paving, and there are flower pots The walls have been rendered and painted white to match the other bungalows on the street. There is an iron gate with a house name plate that reads 'Rondor'. In the garden there are paving slabs, gravel and some plants - further up the garden is some newly laid grass and the start of a rockery. The front door of the house is accessed by a long, sloping ramp. There is a willow and a blossom tree in the back garden at either side of the patio doors. Inside the house, the spacious lounge has a blue carpet and a cream and brown patterned suite. Dora sits on one of the setees. The master bedroom. It has pink, silk quilted curtains and matching duvets on two single beds that have been pushed together. There are also cream fitted wardrobes and a full length mirror on the opposite wall to the beds. Smaller bedroom with a single bed in it. A large floor lamp with a river scene on its shade, stands at the side of the bed. Dora stands outside the back door arranging potted plants. There are two cars in the garage behind. Dora looks at the rockery. Jill, (Ron and Dora's daughter) sits on one of the rocks, talks to her mum and looks at the garden. A neighbour plays with his Black Labrador and Spaniel in his back garden. Ron drives a car into his garage and gets out - walking towards the camera. Dora stands in her driveway then walks around the house. Outside the new bungalow - the grass and plants have grown. Shots of the house from across the road.
