Six Fifty-five Special

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

America had just become independent when Britain started the industrial revolution. Tonight Sally James takes her American guest presenter, David Soul , to the centre of that revolution - Iron-bridge Gorge in Shropshire. And they meet Lord Joe Gormley and Sir Derek Ezra , whose careers in coalmining led to a breakthrough in traditional industrial relations.
