Stagecoach (1956)

Welling, Kent. Various shots of a horse-drawn stagecoach coming along the road towards us, carrying a full load of passengers in Victorian-style costume. Various shots taken from the coach as we are told this famous ’Tunbridge Wells Flier - The Royal Wells’ is owned by Lewis Lewis-Evans; C/U of him as he drives the horses; M/S of two women, Lewis’ son, Stuart, and a toddler sitting on the top rear seat (these three are in modern dress). The coach leaves the gates of the park it has been travelling through and comes out onto the road. The coach stops on a side road beside some houses; Lewis gets out and walks over to a row of veteran cars that are parked on a grass verge. He checks the fitments on a maroon-coloured car then walks over to an 1896 Benz Dog Cart and lifts the bonnet. M/S of a Silver Ghost Rolls Royce from 1911. C/U looking over Lewis’ shoulder at the Benz engine running; he closes the lids and gets on it, changing his top hat for a bowler and drives off; in the background can be seen
