Description: There is narration throughout the film. The film starts with a shot from the front carriage of a Metropolitan line tube, during winter. There is a a light dusting of snow on the side of the train tracks. The train passes through Preston Road station, Northwick Park, with the journey ending at Harrow on The Hill station. We see the busy town centre of Harrow now and then cows in a field outside of Harrow. This view inspired some of the poems of John Milton.

At Cannons Park in Stanmore, we see the stately white Palladian stucco building of North London Collegiate School for girls, set in its grounds. We see an old photo of the house. There is a photograph of the composer Handel and St Lawrence Church in Little Stanmore, and images of farriers shoeing horses. These images link to the narration and the composition of Handel's Air: The Harmonius Blacksmith. An elegant tall man in a pale summer suit, with a camera is seen walking down a path in the St Lawrence Churchyard. He stops to look at the tombstone of William Powell, 'The Harmonious Blacksmith', who died in 1780.

There is a shot in Harrow, looking up the hill to Harrow School. We see a 'cameo' style portrait of the dramatist 'and politician, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who was a pupil at the school, between 1762 - 1768. We see a shot of 'The Grove' Harrow Hill, the beautiful manor styled house where he lived with his wife Elizabeth Linley. We see the spire of St Marys Church in Harrow, and a graveyard, where an actor is sitting, playing the part of Lord Byron. He is in historical costume and is reading. There is then a 'romantic' re- enactment of him meeting with a young woman as they run to meet each other on top of the hill by the graveyard. There are shots of gravestones, a setting sun and a leafy branch of a fir/cedar tree. The actor has dark hair and a pronounced limp. We can see St Mary's spire in the background.

A plaque on a wall at Harrow School of Anthony Ashley Cooper. The plaque is on Church Hill Harrow. There is a re- enactment of the schoolboy Anthony Ashley Cooper, witnessing a paupers funeral, whilst at Harrow school (1813-1816). A group of actors, barefooted, bedraggled and 'drunk' carry and drop a coffin, before carrying it into St Mary's Churchyard. 'Ashley Cooper', in his formal school uniform and boater, watches 'horrified'. We see Roxeth Primary School, which was funded by Ashley Cooper, in memoriam to his youngest son, who died whilst at Harrow School in 1849. There is then a montage of old photographs of the Arethusa Training Ship set up by Ashley Cooper, who by then had become the Earl of Shaftesbury and set up the Shaftesbury Homes.

There is an old photograph of the front page of the novel, Orley Park by the novelist, Anthony Trollope. Anthony Trollope was another former Harrow School pupil. . There is a present day shot of families on the top of Harrow Hill(?). There are then old prints and maps of the Harrow area, showing the 3 mile walk that Trollope had to do from his home at Harrow Weald, to the school.

Shot of the late eighteenth Century Byron House, on Byron Hill Road, where the poet Matthew Arnold lived and Kingsley House, the five storey house on the London Rad, Harrow, where the novelist Charles Kingsley lived. A Ford Anglia and Ford consul car passes in front of the house.

Present day shots of Pinner Memorial Park on Church Lane in Pinner. Women and young children are by the lake. There are many ducks on the lake. The lake is heavily sculpted and surrounded by mature trees. Two young women, in floral summer dresses, cross the road in Pinner High Street. A Morris Minor and a Hillman Minx car are parked in front of the grocer chain store, Cullens, which has a large awning over the street. We can see Pinner Parish Church at the top of the street. We see the Queens Head pub, a Tudor timber framed and whitewashed building. There is shot of a monument in Pinner Parish Church graveyard: the horticultural writer, John Loudon's , father's remains are buried there.

There is a shot of a large green expanse of Parkland, in the Summer. The trees cast shadows on the ground. We see the exterior and grounds of Grimsdyke House, the home of the librettist W.S. Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. There is a re enactment by a woman in Georgian costume winding up a gramaphone and then walking through the grounds of Grimsdyke, listening to 'For He Is An English Man'. There are many beautiful shots of this impressive house and its beautiful garden grounds, all shot on an idyllic Summers day.

Shots of beautiful countryside, with cows at pasture in the Summer. The film then cuts to images of building, diggers and construction - but both the sound and the images in the film then break up. This part of the film is unviewable and very short in duration .
