General notes

"Houses dating from the 17th and 18th centuries clothe the slopes of Castle Hill. Here Eckard can see evidence of the city's history before his eyes. In these houses lived the merchants who risked their money on trade with the New World. Their motive was profit ----- but their enterprise contributed considerably to the development of North America."
From a single request originating from station WTAG, Worcester, Massachusetts., has grown a long series of town to town broadcasts in the North Amercian service of the BBC. The most recent programme was made in Lancaster, England for Lancaster, Massachusetts by Stephen Eckhard, Amercian-born producer of the BBC. The progamme was broad cast in non-advertising time.
