1768, the Satchwell and Bromwich Iron Foundry . . .

Beneath a pounding tilt hammer, an implement is forged by an apprentice

from a white-hot billet of steel. Thus begins a 250-year history.

The implement is a spade. It is passed down generations of men and women,

and is witness to events as significant as the forging of nations, and as intense

as tilling the soil for survival.

A powerfully told story of people over the ages, their triumphs and their tragedies,

their loves and jealousies.

A thrilling journey, illuminated by the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.
