One Foot in the Past

on BBC Two England

In the wake of the controversy stirred up by the Heritage Lottery Fund's multi-million pound award to purchase the Churchill papers for the nation, Kirsty Wark follows another application for funds: the troubled Llangollen steam railway in North Wales.

Also, two items held over from last week. Elain Harwood visits the Claybury hospital in Middlesex to see a Victorian lunatic asylum that practised an unusually benevolent and enlightened approach. And, following Sunderland FC's promotion to the Premier League and a move to new premises, a farewell to Roker Park, their old ground with a history stretching back almost 100 years.
