This is England
Series produced by Chris Frear
Real people with unusual jobs or hobbies
“This is England” is a radio series you can sit back and listen to and let the pressures of everyday life be forgotten for a short time.
Join Liz Fawden as she takes you to meet people in England who have out of the ordinary occupations & hobbies.
In this the first series, you’ll meet people like the Terry Stubbins, “Town Crier” to the city of Lincoln, a man who’s job dates back to Roman times. Then there’s Rick Groombridge, a man who for ten years flew the last flying Lancaster bomber or perhaps you’ll hear Geoff one of the last professional millers in England, talking about operating a windmill and milling his own flour.
