Take a Place Like....: Whitehaven

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Tim Schadla-Hall , Stanley Ellis and John Grundy take a radio walkabout, and search for what makes the buildings, speech and daily life unique in the Cumbrian coastal town of Whitehaven. They explore Britain's earliest example of post-medieval town planning; the site of the last foreign invasion of English soil; and discover that the provision of energy has always brought prosperity, and possible danger, to the town.
