1972: The Curious Case of the Blocked Window

When Max Jenkins bought his Victorian villa in the village of Bacton-on-Sea, he thought he'd snagged himself a bargain. There was only one issue - an unusual wooden structure, just three feet from his windows, obscuring the view of the sea.

Nationwide investigates this bizarre case involving the "law of ancient light", and the reclusive Miss Day.

Originally broadcast 14 March, 1972.
