This is a film made by Mexborough Technical College teacher George Spurr in the early 1960s.  The film was taken of a school project in Denaby, half way between Rotherham and Doncaster,. The film begins with a woman speaking to a group of people outside the Salvation Army building, followed by a view over Denaby Main Colliery.  The film then shows the street sign for Maltby Street in Denaby, and a view down the street of terraced houses.  People can be seen entering a church, and a large group of people making their way to the church with Cadeby Colliery on a hill in the distance.  A woman walks past pushing a pram, before another woman gets up on a chair and addresses the group.  Two women go from door-to-door around the terraced houses, whilst the woman on the chair continues to speak.  This is followed by two men also knocking door-to-door.  At one house a woman comes out and they speak to her and give her a leaflet.  A group of women walk into what might be the rear of the church where there are empty bins and buckets.  The group gather for a photograph as the film comes to an end.
