Synopsis

In 1934, JB Priestley published an account of his journey through England from Southampton to the Black Country, to the North East and Newcastle, to Norwich. In capturing and describing an English landscape and people hitherto unseen, he influenced the thinking and attitudes of an entire generation and helped formulate the formation of the welfare state.
