Another from my Children's Film Foundation/BFi Bumper Box Volume 3 set

Fairly pedestrian story about a London kid who joins the community exodus of her street to go hop-picking in Kent

- apparently this was a regular thing in the 1950s, with each farm laying out a shanty camp site (sheds, tents, barns etc) for the families, who arrived in their hordes.

Trundles along well enough, just like the train they go down on

As a CFF film, it had to have a family doggie in there somewhere, but in a cunning twist this time it's a pottery one

which has lots of adventures and its own plotline.
