A journey through the length of North France, in which her working men show strong ties with parts of England and Wales
Here is a programme designed to show how much the workers of Northern France have in common with Britain in general, and the West Country and Wales in particular. All the material has been recorded on the spot during a recent tour of investigation. The BBC recording car first paid a visit to Roscoff, in Brittany, headquarters of most of the Breton onion-sellers who are so familiar a feature in England during certain months of the year.
Thereafter records were made at
Plougastel, where most of the early strawberries for England are grown. Leaving Plougastel, the recording car made its way to Lens, where, just north of the Vimy Ridge, are situ ated some of the richest coal seams in France. Two coal miners of Lens will talk about their work and conditions. Finally the scene moves to Rouen, which receives the largest merchant tonnage of any port in France. The task of conducting craft up the Seine is an arduous one. and a typical Rouen river pilot is going to describe this work and some of the cargoes, for the safety of which he is responsible.
