Ashby Folville, which is situated ten miles north of Leicester, is the destination for this early 1950s field trip by a group of boys from Leicester's Westcotes Secondary Modern School. The pupils inspect the church and witness traditional farming methods during the hay harvest. Also inluded on the tour are the rows of Nissen huts that make up the National Assistance Board Polish Hostel, an unexpected slice of mid European culture in a quaint English village.
