34
Q

A

It was a radio play which again used local people. It represents Campden as wealthy as the Squire lived in a fine manor house with irreplaceable antiques.

35

Q

How does the radio play help to develop my understanding of the place?

A

The inequality shown by a wealthy rich man compared to other residents is similar to today as the majority are wealthy retired people and some are working class. This is the greatest inequality as there is a big difference between the wealthy and the poor. The Council was trying to help the community, which is different than today as not much is done to provide affordable houses.
