Author: Stuart Maconie
Narrator: Stuart Maconie
In the autumn of 1936, some 200 men from the Tyneside town of Jarrow marched 300 miles to London in protest against the destruction of their towns and industries. Precisely 80 years on, Stuart Maconie walks from north to south, retracing the route of the emblematic Jarrow Crusade. Following history’s footsteps, Maconie is in search of what modern Britain is really like today. Travelling down the country’s spine, Maconie moves through a land that is, in some ways, very much the same as the England of the ’30s, with its political turbulence, austerity, north/south divide, food banks and, of course, football mania.
