BURY'S Woodbury adventure will be featured on Granada TV this evening (Fri Aug 25).
The 20-minute programme, From Bury with Love, goes out at 6pm and will include lengthy footage of the visit to Philadelphia by 400 local people in July.
"Sailing into the Millennium" was the idea of Mr Melvin Magnall. He wanted to recreate the journey of Quaker Henry Wood who left Tottington with his family in 1682 to escape persecution. Wood settled on the banks of the Delaware River and helped found the town of Woodbury.
