Robson Green has moved back home to the north and immerses himself in telling the incredible story of how industry has shaped both a place and its people. This two-part series celebrates the rugged northern landscape and how the sheer hard work of the people in the north contributed to the industrial revolution which changed the face of the world.

The industries of steel and shipbuilding, how football became the sport of the north, and how pubs formed the centre of these new communities.
