A film made to promote the British Tourist Authority's sites of Industrial Heritage. Made in Eastmancolor, the film features a brief glimpse of Edgar Anstey (then recently retired as Head of Production at BTF) at Ironbridge, taking in the views. It is typical in style and pace of 1970s travel films, in which the world is now in colour, schoolchildren wear rainbow-coloured woolly hats, and parents can be seen in flared denim trousers. As pleasing and as relevant to view today as it was in the '70s, only the fashions have changed! Steven R Foxon *This film is included in the BFI British Transport Films DVD compilation 'Off the Beaten Track'.
