Living on the Past

This film, shot before and after a 1984 fire gutted York Minster's south transept, looks at the problems of conserving the whole city of York within its medieval walls. York people are possessively proud of their ancient city, but they want modern amenities like everyone else, and they are obliged to accommodate an ever-increasing army of tourists.
