John Sergeant follows in the footsteps of Victorian pioneer photographer Francis Frith and his team who, in the 1860s embarked upon a monumental mission to document every city, town and village in Britain. John sets out to discover more about this extraordinary man and the unique record he left behind, travelling the country to find out what's changed, what's stayed the same and what has gone forever.

In this episode the journey continues in South Wales and John takes four more of his own pictures. John finds out about the restoration of the canals of Monmouthshire, heading deep underground to the caves beneath the Forest of Dean to try his hand at ochre mining and visiting Gloucester, where the photo of a cottage leads to the tale of how Britain's very first state schools came about.
