John Clague's poignant film shows part of the old Canterbury making way for the new. Derelict shops forming the Twyman's Corner block, including the premises of that name, are seen in various states of demolition. A concrete underpass can be seen under construction as well as foundations for the forthcoming ring-road. Surprisingly, both pedestrians and cars are seen negotiating the new layout, while, amid the rubble, we see the Chaucer Hotel and the distant cathedral.
