Episode two: Quarry Bank connections

Step into the Past

In collaboration with the National Trust, we meet David Higginson, whose ancestors lived and worked at Quarry Bank, one of Britain's greatest industrial heritage sites.

Suzannah and David amble around Quarry Bank's vast estate and immerse themselves in the sights and sounds his ancestors experienced. Stopping by key places along the way, including the cottage his 5 x great-grandparents lived in, David learns more about his family's remarkable past.

By telling David's story, we're telling thousands of connected British family stories. Stories that echo through time and affect how we view the world around us today.
