Bringing the Rowntree Leisure Time interviews to life, featuring Nik Wood-Jones

Inspired by real-life interviews with ordinary people in post-war Britain, which formed the raw material for Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree’s study of English Life and Leisure in 1951, director Rachel Feldberg has created a series of digital performances.
​The unique archives on which the performances are based, held at the Borthwick Institute for Archives, at the University of York, document interviewees’ working lives, religious and political beliefs, leisure activities, sexual practices, romantic relationships, and hopes and worries for the future in the late 1940s.

Nik Wood-Jones as famous fell walker & author 
Alfred Wainwright takes you on a free tour of
some of the most stunning locations in the
Lake District, in downloadable podcasts
