Summary
Pathe synopsis: We start off with a bang - literally - as we see a lot of waste from a fireworks factory in Hertfordshire going up in smoke. Then behind the scenes to see how dull-looking powders and pellets are assembled to make a highly coloured firework. We end on the same note as we began - with a spectacular fireworks display.
