Synopses

The Girl from the Workhouse

In Staffordshire in 1911, Ginnie's family struggles as her father's eyesight fails and money becomes scarce. With little hope of relief, she is sent to Haddon Workhouse and must quickly adapt to life away from home. There, she earns her keep by caring for other children who have no families of their own.

Wartime with the Tram Girls

As July 1914 brings the outbreak of the First World War, women step into roles left behind by men heading to the front. Constance Copeland, determined to work despite her parents’ disapproval, signs up as a tram clippie, collecting fares and issuing tickets. She keeps her privileged background and suffragette past hidden as the country shifts around her.

The Potteries Girls on the Home Front

In March 1911, Betty Dean is pushed to find work, a home and, eventually, a husband. Sent into service at Stowford House in Cheshire, she faces long days and gruelling labour, with her ambitions feeling increasingly distant. Circumstances soon force her back to the Potteries with a secret that could damage her reputation, as the approach of war raises the question of what opportunities might still be possible.
