All over Britain the traditional industries are declining. Coal mines, shipyards and steelworks close; men and women are thrown out of work. The drift to the south east and to the cities continues.
It is a familiar pattern, one which faced Dartington in Devon in 1925. But one man, Leonard Elmhirst, believed that by bringing industry to the countryside and efficiency to agriculture he could halt the rural decline. He believed too that a job is not enough - that everyone had a right to 'the abundant life.' Now Dartington is reaching out again. This time to help the mining town of Conisbrough in Yorkshire.
Gordon Snell asks 79-year-old Leonard Elmhirst what lessons can be learned from his experience. Is the Dartington way a lesson for the future?
