Cranford
Overview
This adaptation of three novels by Elizabeth Gaskell explores the hopes and fears of a rural community facing the upheaval of the Industrial Revolution. Set in the 1840s, it follows a year in the life of Cranford, a Cheshire market town presided over by a group of eminently respectable, middle-aged ladies. But the march of progress cannot be denied. With the construction of a railway line from Manchester and the arrival of a handsome new doctor from London, the lives of the people of Cranford are about to change for ever.
