Title: Gaslight in Page Street
First published: April 1995
Description: "Page Street, a shabby, cobbled and gaslit Bermondsey backstreet, is home to a diverse and close-knit community fighting an ongoing battle against poverty, hunger and the devastating effects of the Great War. George Galloway owns a cartage business, aided by his right-hand man William Tanner. Over the years George has grown increasingly hard of heart and William's loyalty has been worn down, although as George owns his house and times are hard, he cannot break the ties. Carrie Tanner grows up in the heart of a poor yet loving family, but as she becomes a young woman she gets involved in the Suffragette movement, symbolic of a changing world. The times are a-changing - and quickly. Will this close-knit community be able to pull together or will it be torn apart?"--Publisher description.
