Six explorations with Professor W. G. Hoskins 5: Black Country
This tortured area of Staffordshire has been robbed of the coal, clay, iron and building stones that were once its riches. Its highly individual countryside began in the pack-horse era and has been changing ever since, through canals and now motorways. PROFESSOR HOSKINS asks why it has so deeply influenced its people.
