60 Miles by Road or Rail
T0126682174
It's the 1960s and Northampton is at a crossroads. The town's population is set to double as part of the government's New Towns Act. But as new estates welcome thousands of families from London and the old town centre undergoes radical changes, some fear Northampton's identity is being stripped away. Tasked with Northampton's expansion over twenty momentous years, the newly formed Development Corporation will go to hilarious lengths to ensure targets are met - even adapting their radio jingle into a legendary pop record... Made by local creatives and inspired by true events, 60 Miles by Road or Rail brings Northampton's extraordinary past and present crashing together to celebrate our hometown at a time when uncertainty threatens to pull us apart.
