Synopsis
The powerful historical drama set in rural-industrial 19th-century England continues. Inspired by 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 Price (Kerrie Hayes) arrives at court in Manchester after assaulting her overseer, Charlie Crout (Craig Parkinson). On the assumption that she will be found guilty, apprentice house manager Mr Timperley (Kevin McNally) has been sent to the workhouse in Liverpool to collect a replacement apprentice. He returns with two sisters, Lucy (Katherine Rose Morley) and Catherine Garner (Kaitlyn Hogg). But it's soon clear that Catherine is too weak to work and the Gregs must decide whether they should split the sisters up and send Catherine back to the workhouse. Susannah Catterall (Holly Lucas) begins to work alongside the charismatic young engineer Daniel Bate (Matthew McNulty) but they don't get off to a good start. Hannah Greg (Barbara Marten) attends an abolitionist meeting where the speaker, freed slave Mary Prince (Flo Wilson), outlines the shocking reality of slavery first-hand. But political campaigner John Doherty (Aidan McArdle) is there, and is determined to paint Hannah as a hypocrite.
