The film follows 'script writer', Christopher Barry throughout. Mayor Councillor Cllr Ward suggested "Beech trees", due to prosperity wood from Chilton Hills has brought to area, earning the town the nickname 'valley of chairs'. Men, such as Ralph Gray, have been making chair legs for 53 years, with wood now going directly to factories.
