Script by Jonquil Antony
Last week Mrs, Dale visited Sally to arrange a shopping expedition, and learned that Mollie was absent from work. Later Sheila White , Mollie's friend, presented herself and explained that Mollie had run into trouble and was to appear in court. She asked Mrs. Dale to go with her to hear the case. It transpired that Mollie was remanded for a week for selling a fur coat which &he was buying on hare purchase. Later Mrs. Dale visited her in prison in an endeavour to help her, but Mollie was sullen and hostile and would not co-operate. David dined with one of his directors When he came home he informed Gwen that he had arranged to look after their goat for three months whiite they were abroad. At first Monument resented the goat, but in time formed quire an attachment for it!

This Coronation summer the Capital is on show. Each week this programme pays a radio visit to a landmark, in or near London, describing and dramatising its past and present, its history and romance
Guide and storyteller, Hugh Ross Williamson

The London Bridge of the nursery rhyme is said to have fallen down in the days of the Ancient Britons. Our present one replaced a stone bridge, with houses and shops on it, which was for centuries the only approach to the Capital from the south.
