Cities and Memory - remixing the world

Rag and bone man in an English village

12 Dec 2025

Description

Every now and then a Rag ‘n' Bone man (scrap metal man) drives his van round my village in the Forest of Dean picking up scrap metal. It has been difficult to record him. By the time I’ve got the recorder out he’s gone. This time I was lucky. The recording captures him passing down my lane, then the strident chatter of sparrows and the gentle hum of bees in the garden before we hear him again calling in the distance. Recorded by Paul Stephens-Wood.
