Synopsis
The powerful historical drama set in rural-industrial 19th-century England continues. Based on the extensive historical archive of Quarry Bank Mill in Cheshire, the series depicts Britain at a time when the industrial revolution is changing the country beyond recognition. In the 1830s, children as young as nine work 12-hour shifts in the mills, and the new class of mill-owning families prosper. But the so-called 'white slaves of England' are about to take their lives into their own hands for the first time as outsiders with new ideas enter their world. Esther and Lucy head for Liverpool, chased by Timperley, but discover that Lucy's sister Catherine never returned to the workhouse. Meanwhile, back at Quarry Bank, Daniel and Susannah show political activist John Doherty's pamphlet - which attacks the Gregs - to the apprentices, revealing some of Daniel's more radical beliefs. Esther visits churches in Liverpool, hoping to find information that will confirm her age and help her find her family. And when Robert finds out who the father of Susannah's child is, he arranges to move her to another mill, separating her from her two siblings, so Daniel makes an impulsive offer so that she can stay at the Mill.
