Talk by Geoffrey Eley
Geoffrey Eley is making a number of journeys in the English countryside, partly on foot, partly by car, with the object of studying the history and the people, the wild life and the scenery, of some of our less frequently visited rural areas. Essex and Suffolk figured in the first of these English journeys - rather after the manner of William Cobbett's 'Rural Rides' up to date and in 'That Way Lies the Black Country’ he talks about Staffordshire and Shropshire.
