Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Britain at Work. DESCRIPTION: Where there’s Muck there’s money doesn’t always hold good. Thousands of acres of wasteland - a legacy of the industrial revolution, have spread like a blight around the coalfields of Britain. Lancashire is a leader in the effort to clear these wastelands. In an attempt to silence one bad offender, the road drill, the Borough of Shoreditch held a demonstration of a new muffler which can be fitted to any type of drill. In Yorkshire, Prince Philip came to open the English Steel Corporation’s twenty-six million pound Rolling Mill at Tinsley Park near Sheffield. SHOTLIST: Key scene. GV pan across slag heaps. GV same.
