40 years on, SFTW remembers the Battle of the Beanfield that took place on this day in 1985. There is testimony from those that were there as well as music with some connection to Stonehenge and the events of 1 June 1985. For anyone unfamiliar with what happened, I can recommend searching out the Operation Solstice documentary.
Sundays at 21:00 at www.westwiltsradio.com, repeated Thursdays at 2pm, and available to listen again afterwards.
