Petroc Trelawny introduces a concert from Studio 7 at
New Broadcasting House in Manchester featuring two of Walton's works from the thirties.
During the interval, he takes a short walk from Walton's birthplace in Oldham to the nearby Werneth Park Music Rooms and hears of an exciting future for this fading symbol of the town's former industrial wealth.
