Nairn at Large

In these six programmes Ian Nairn looks at industrial landscape; considers the unique appeal of Liverpool; tries to analyse the attraction of a summer Bank Holiday county like Cornwall; asks if in new towns like Cumbernauld people have been given enough say in their environment; sees the potential in a plan for a Welsh hill-town; and finally takes a look at a uniquely British institution - the public house.
