    That's not a caravan, it's a showman's trailer. The youngest son looked about 12 years old. That means he must of fathered him when he was at least 75.

      @@paulgabolinscy2502 When I was a teenager, I used to work for a Noah's Ark owner, who came with the bank holidays fair three times a year. I once called his home a caravan, and was corrected as he said it was a trailer, not a caravan.

    My dad has been looking for this film for over 40 years Freddie Smith was my dad's Uncle, in Mulliner Street, off Red Lane in Coventry! Is this the only film 30 minutes long or was there more made of the family? I would be really grateful if you could supply any more information please!
