On the day that the Second World War ends, Mayor George Boswell recalls events of the previous 25 years in his home town of Bowdley. As councillor and newspaper editor George has fought hard to better working and living conditions in the bleak Lancashire mill town.

But an outbreak of diphtheria changes George's outlook, and his and Olivia's lives change forever....
