Revolution in the Village

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

GEORGE HUNTING used to get 10d a day - Saturday included - driving the plough; MRS BROOKS , when she was in service at 2s a week, had to pay for all the crockery she broke. JEANINE MCMULLEN talks to best-selling author Fred Archer about the colossal changes that have swept over this old village of Ashton-under-Hill. The trees, the railway and the smallholdings are all gone and scarcely a score of people work on the land any more. Producer PETER DE ROSA
In a real village .. , see pages 15/16-17
