It's interesting to compare this army of Church of England schoolchildren with the parading Catholic pupils in another film from Mitchell and Kenyon's trip to Tyldesley. The street is wider, the march-past slower, the kids more numerous (and sometimes wealthier-looking). The elaborately-hatted women teachers exude an even greater air of respectability than their Catholic counterparts.

Replacement title (0.07). Children, walk six to eight abreast down a gently sloping road with a stone wall in the background and pavement to the left. The ages start at circa five years old and increases to circa twelve years old. Women teachers and a male teacher guide the children and make sure they keep pace. A number of onlookers stop to watch (2.08 mins). Note: the children seem to be better dressed than those in Mithcell and Kenyon no 479 Tyldesley Catholic School, Lodge Road. The last girl espesially is dressed up in pearl necklace and frilly hat.

Another Tyldesley parade of children, but this time different ages and in a more public location that gives the film a few onlookers in the background. The whole procession is set up and you can see they start from stand still in the beginning.
