Britain Revisited

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Anthony Burton goes into the past in the footsteps of five literary travellers whose inquiring spirits found excitement in what, to 20th-century eyes, seems everyday. 2: Working the Water
Down the Thames in 1632 in company with the waterman poet John Taylor.
There's many a Seaman, many a Navigator
Watermen, fishers, bargemen on this water
Who doe their Prince and Country often serve
And wer 't not for this river might goe starve ... with Manning Wilson as John Taylor
Producer SIMON ELMES. Stereo
