FOLK as ROUGH as IRON Filings – Omnibus (1971)
And the BBC Archive has coughed up a lovely spot of old industrial folk music from the early 1970s. It’s certainly worth a listen and it’d be nice if the entirety of that edition of Omnibus somehow managed to make it to iPlayer…

Tours of Old York #1: 70s York in Flood
York in flood during (apparently) the late 70s. At about 30 seconds in there’s a lovely shot of a very wet pre-flood defence Marygate. Later on, at around one minute forty, you get a shot along Wellington Row and across the River – notably showing the build that there before the construction of the General Accident (now Aviva) Building. There are also some nice shots of The Kings Arms and the bottom of the Museum Gardens in flood.
