Summary
Pathe synopsis: The Museum of English Rural Life at Reading houses a unique collection of items which give a fascinating picture of country life as it used to be. Among the many exhibits is a replica of an all-wood plough dating from 400 BC, a West Country farm waggon built about 1880, and a strange-looking tractor which did its bit on the food front in the First World War.
