England and Wales are brimming with them. Not the traditional
honeypots we've all seen before, but extraordinary places with
bizarre tales to tell. Like Twenty in Lincolnshire, named after the
lengths of railway track separating it from the next halt down the
line. It's so remote, locals put up a sign "Twinned with the moon -
no atmosphere." Now even the trains have gone. Like Purton in
Gloucestershire, split in half by the mighty river Severn. It's a
25-mile round trip from one side of the village to the other. Who
ever came up with that idea? Why no bridge? Like London's Eel Pie
Island, a village in the middle of the river Thames where the
residents have created a world of their own. In his fascinating new
book, Tony Francis, presenter and producer of ITV's much-loved
series, Heart of the Country, gathers together photographs and
stories of 50 of the extraordinary villages he has visited in 24
years of film-making.
