Rhapsody in Black

<p>1768 the Satchwell and Bromwich Iron Foundry . . .</p><p> </p><p>Beneath a pounding tilt hammer an implement is forged by an apprentice</p><p>from a white-hot billet of steel. Thus begins a 250-year history.</p><p> </p><p>The implement is a spade. It is passed down generations of men and women</p><p>and is witness to events as significant as the forging of nations and as intense</p><p>as tilling the soil for survival.</p><p> </p><p>A powerfully told story of people over the ages their triumphs and their tragedies</p><p>their loves and jealousies.</p><p> </p><p>A thrilling journey illuminated by the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.</p>
