Description

After shots of the countryside in Burnley, there are scenes of the town, including The Sun Inn, and the busy roads. A traffic warden inspects his watch. A woman hangs out washing in the countryside, in comparison, there are shots of people using a laundrette, in town. The film contrasts shots of the countryside with shots of the town, and this includes a man who takes a stroll, busy roads, sweeping leaves and litter, watching children play, and people shopping in a Safeway. In the countryside, it is dusk, whilst in the town there are shots of nightlife attractions.
