Out Of Town with Jack Hargreaves

When I was a young man in England, this series was one of my favourites. I post it here because these skills go way back to the 18th century and I just love watching these sort of skills being performed. I hope you like it to.

Hi Keith, I grew up wishing to be like this guy, so much knowledge. I did manage to get the complete works on dvd as a present and have watched them all many times. He reminds me so much of my Grandfather, it is a real "step back in time" moment, thanks for bringing me here again. Al.
