Essex people talk about where they feel they belong and their affinity with particular places and groups. They discuss being part of a community, compared with being an outsider. Examples include towns, villages, a football club and a factory. Contributors also speak about how changing working patterns have had an impact on local life.

Part of a 16-part series which explores how everyday life changed during the 20th Century, described by the people of Essex, in collaboration with the British Library.

Produced and first broadcast on BBC Essex in 1999.
