How Britain Worked — How Britain Worked
Engineering enthusiast Guy Martin and the team repair the water turbine needed to power an old saw mill in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. He then ropes in a carpenter friend to help fell a tree and transport it to the building on a steam traction engine, before using the cut wood to make a replica of the first pedal-powered bicycle. Along the way, Guy learns about the lives of factory workers during the Industrial Revolution and how child apprentices were often little more than slave labour

How Britain Worked — How Britain Worked
Guy Martin visits Llandudno in north Wales to try to return the seaside resort to its former Victorian glory. Over the course of the winter, Guy gets stuck into restoration work on the town's pier, rebuilds an original helter skelter and services the town's funicular tramway. He learns how the appetite for sea-bathing began when word spread that it was good for the glands and finds out how engineering developments in factories also led to a revolution in musical instruments

How Britain Worked — How Britain Worked
Guy Martin works on a machine that can be credited with helping to kick-start the Industrial Revolution. Joining a team from the Black Country Living Museum, he helps to restore a Newcomen engine - an 18th-century steam-powered device used principally to pump water out of mines. As the rotting timber structure is replaced, worn parts repaired, the boiler cleaned and crumbling brickwork rebuilt, the presenter also learns about the lives of the men, women and children who mined coal

How Britain Worked — How Britain Worked
Guy Martin helps to restore Birmingham Botanical Gardens to its former glory and tries to learn how to blow glass to use in the enormous greenhouses. He tries to rebuild one of the first lawnmowers and uses a little-known 19th-century technique to make his mark on the rockery, before he is given the job of turning on his newly installed fountain at the grand opening ceremony
