A series of six films about English communities where the past is still strongly reflected in the present. 2: Saddleworth

This collection of 13 villages grew up as a woollen mill community-an enclave of Yorkshire-men spilled over the Pennines into the cotton county of Lancashire. Woollen textiles have always been a precarious business and in a recession, family firms like J. F. & C. Kenworthy struggle for survival; so while the Kenworthys, father and son, struggle to keep an apparently busy mill going, their head loom-tuners' ' hobbies ' begin to look more and more like an insurance policy.

Brian Trueman talks to both mill owners and workers about their hopes and fears for the mill, and for a community very conscious of its traditions.
