It is in a beautiful valley with the Long Mynd and Wenlock Edge on either side. The amusing part for me was the scene when the coals were unloaded from a canal boat. The Shropshire Union Canal was way too many miles distant to have been a real event but it did give a chance to see Saturn a 'Shroppie Fly' which appropriately is the name of the Shropshire Union canalside hostelry where we have an 'open' folk session every Monday Night. The bar is made from the side & prow of a real Fly boat. Let's hope there will be more music in the next four episodes, maybe some harvesting folk songs whilst supping their cider in the fields?Thanks for the Celtic Connections news, and good luck in rootling out more hidden gems from those old books that find a welcome home with you.
