PATHS TO THE PAST

Bringing to bear a lifetime's digging, archaeologist Francis Pryor delves into Britain's urban and rural landscapes, from Whitby Abbey to the navvy camp at Risehill in Cumbria, from Tintagel to Tottenham's Broadwater Farm. He reveals the stories of our physical surroundings and what they meant to the people who formed them, used them and lived in them. These landscapes, he argues, are our common physical inheritance, and understanding them is the key to guarding them for future generations.
