by J. B. Priestley
A cross-country journey
Tonight Mr. Priestley describes what he saw and heard -on the third stage of his cross-country journey from Bicker, a little village near Boston in Lincolnshire, to Blue Anchor, a hamlet in Somerset within sight of Minehead on the Bristol Channel. The first stage took him as far as Rugby. From there he made his way via Coventry to Banbury in Oxfordshire. The third stage ends at Oxford, and a student debate he heard there prompts some observations on the changes in university life since he was an undergraduate at Cambridge.
