An overview of The Beeches - a housing and community complex for the elderly. First opened in 1967, it was a hub of gentle weekly activities for residents and other local members. The first half of the film shows the facilities and then, from 5'30", many of the members at indoor games, music & movement, whist, bingo, art class and the choir.
My guess is that all those members pictured were born 1890-1915. Very near the end is Cllr Tom Stimpson who was Chair of Sutton Urban District Council and probably instrumental in the planning of the project.
Filmed by Mr JA Halfpenny on Super 8 film.
