Romney Marsh has been dubbed the “sixth continent”, due to its size and the sense that it has its own rules.

A shingle beach that silently grows bigger every year, scattered debris from the Battle of Britain, an old-fashioned lighthouse hidden from the sea by a nuclear power station. It has a character unlike anywhere else in the UK.

Presented by Dilys Morgan and Bernard Clark.

Clip taken from Nationwide on the Road: Romney Marsh, originally broadcast on BBC One, Wednesday 7 April, 1976.
