More about this scene
Here we see Washington village about ten years before the area was designated a New Town. There were to be eighteen settlements, or villages as they were to be called, linked together by dual carriageways, for predictions indicated that 'by 1976 it is expected that every family will have at least one car'. By 1981 Washington New Town comprised sixteen villages spread over 5610 acres, and had a population of about 50,000.
