Season 1 Episode 1

Archaeologist Ben Robinson examines the history of the Lancashire village Sunderland Point, which is cut off twice a day by the tide and has become a haven for wildlife. He reveals it was once a busy port that was instrumental in the slave trade, and at the forefront of the luxury goods business that transformed 18th-century Britain.
