Overview
This nostalgic piece of amateur cine was shot by Len Bass and follows a coach trip from Atherstone in Warwickshire along deserted country lanes to Shropshire where the photographers go in search of subjects. Bridgnorth provides much interest, including the historic cliff railway, but it is the open country of the Long Mynd and a long hike to Pulverbatch where the photographers really get to experience the beauty of the county.
