Passing Trades?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The fourth of five programmes in which David Willmott explores a familiar trade, which could disappear in the near future.

This time he talks to Horace Foster, a third generation Staffordshire blacksmith, who shoed his first horse at the age of 16. With his father, he would get through a dozen cart horses a day and still find time to repair ploughs and harrows.
