Description
Page Street, a narrow and atmospheric Bermondsey backstreet, is home to a tight-knit community struggling to cope with the challenges of poverty, hunger, and the devastating effects of the Great War. Against this backdrop, a diverse group of residents must come together to face the changing times. At the heart of this community is a cartage business, owned by George Galloway, and his loyal right-hand man, William Tanner. As the years take their toll, William's loyalty is tested, but his ties to Galloway remain strong. Meanwhile, Carrie Tanner, a young woman growing up in a loving but poor family, becomes increasingly involved in the Suffragette movement, marking a turning point in her life. As the community faces an uncertain future, it must decide whether to pull together or be torn apart by the forces of change.
