We see Iain and Lionel arriving in their pony and trap at High Cross where a monument marks the point where the Fosse Way crosses Watling Street, a point that the Romans considered to be the centre of England. We also see shots of a small museum containing Roman finds. Next at the remains of Brinklow Castle in Warwickshire Lionel talks to Doctor Graham Webster of Birmingham University about the history of Fosse Way. Finally we see Lionel and Iain arriving at the Fosse Bridge Hotel, a coaching inn at Fossebridge in Gloucestershire where to Lionel's amazement Iain orders and drinks a quart of ale.
