The film begins with George’s parents in their back yard, at 15 Bolton St., Denaby Main.  They are putting old Christmas tree on a wheelbarrow which the man then wheels off to his allotment which is boarded by corrugated sheets as fencing.  He plants it near his hut.  There is a panoramic view around the other allotments and the surrounding houses.  The man continues to work on the allotment digging channels with a spade and sowing seeds.   George arrives and watches over his father.  There is a view over countryside with factories, the cooling towers of Mexborough Power Station, chimneys, and Denaby Colliery in the distance.
