Entrance to the dockyards (nothing to indicate that they are docks). The entrance sits by a main thoroughfare with carts and people (all male and probably workers) passing in front of the camera. The first cart reads Cornish and Sons Liverpool.

A slow trickle of men emerges from the entrance opposite the camera position. A newspaper boy sells newspapers in the middle distance. Amongst the traffic is a huge cart of cotton bales. Carts also enter the dockyards.

More men begin to pour out of the entrance. They are held up by a huge cart carrying bales and evidently work their way around the obstruction missing the camera.

Note: A man, aged mid thirties, wearing a long coat, suit, flat cap, sporting a moustache and carrying an umbrella, is seen throughout the film. He tries to guide the workers to walk to the camera, buys a newspaper, and weaves in and out the traffic. He may be part of the personnel of Mitchell and Kenyon.
