Dockers in Glamorgan eating chips from newspapers. A West Indian immigrant carrying a suit-case leaves a docked ship. It is an indication of the diversity of people from around the world that have chosen to live in Cardiff.

He continues his journey through the town, passing a newspaper board that mentions Tiger Bay, the municipal buildings in the city centre and through the residential streets. A Brooke Bond van passes by. Men are crouched against a wall reading newspapers intently, children are at play against the background of industry , pushing each other on swings, playing marbles or cricket on the street. A window is broken by a cricket ball and the woman occupant rushes to the window. Men are playing dice on the street for money.
