Livingston A Town for the Lothians (clip 2)

A wonderfully detailed well-structured historical record of the building of Livingston new town in 1969. This second clip looks at shots of the Cameron Iron works being built and then goes on to discuss the promise that Livingston holds out to families to start a new life. Notable images include scenes outside a close (probably Glasgow) as furniture is lifted into a removal van and a family prepare to drive off to a new home; a child slides down a chute; a mother pushes a pram; shots of a family enter a new home; carpets are brought into a new house in Livingston; people experience the joy of pedestrian walkways; a delivery is brought into a grocer's shop; a woman posts a letter; a mother and child enter a doctors surgery; young children play in a school gym; a column of children walk through the corridors of a school; children return home from school through the streets of Livingston; a woman hangs washing in her garden while a baby plays in its walking chair; a group of women meet with a Social Relations Officer; shots of Hopetoun House; a woman being photographed; a model railway and a shot of the people operating it; a children's party; and shots of large model showing how the completed new town will look.
