Full description from the producer:

Episode 5 and we head off to Yorkshire. The heavy concentration of collieries in the area forms the main backdrop to the programme but we also visit a couple of coking plants and a sewage plant!

Wonderful, previously unpublished film footage from the 1970s, location maps and an in-depth script reveal the fascinating story of steam in Yorkshire during this forgotten decade.
