What a beautiful part of England! Henry Thorold, who wrote the script for this film, was the author of several of the wonderful old Shell Guides to the English counties that were mainly published in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Fittingly, he was the co-author of the Shell Guide to Lincolnshire.
The Fens and East Anglia were my area when was a computer field engineer from the 70's to the 2000's. Until recently it was little changed from this film, but sadly its no longer so. Driving through the area at all times of the day and night over many years it had its own special magic and as they say "big skies".
It's a massive plane which the industrial revolution missed, since there is only mud, no coal or iron. Or anything of that kind, in the north, near Peterborough there is clay, the Industrial revolution noticed that part and despoiled it immediately with huge brickworks, and railways to bring in the coal to make the bricks. It was all spoiled and the factories are all shut now so it did no good in the long run.
FENLAND Here in an area acknowledged as below the national average in wages, educational attainment, and access to good health care and with huge pockets of deprivation still to be tackled....a ‘Conservative paradise’ [quote]

I would like to see the Lincolnshire films too. My husband's ancestors came from the fens areas of Norfolk as well as from Lincolnshire
I could easily cry for my British heritage.
