This series tells a story of Britain spanning a period of seismic social change from the 1840s to the present day, through the prism of a single-terraced house in Liverpool. Presenter David Olusoga delves into 180 years of history, searching through city archives, scouring records and tracking down living descendants to tell the untold stories of the people who lived there, and reveal a unique insight into the making of modern Britain.
David discovers our house's first resident - idealistic Victorian lawyer William Bruce, who tries and fails to save the life of a man convicted to hang for murder. Decades later Bruce is serving as a Leeds magistrate when a similar case comes before him - can he save a young man's life this time?
Tracking our house forward, David uncovers the remarkable rags-to-riches story of Ann Dawson, who went from working on the factory floor to living in style in Grosvenor Mount. When her husband's business collapses, Ann looks set to lose it all.
Finally, David learns that our house was next home to master builder William Nicholson, founder of a famous dynasty that built Leeds landmarks, including County Arcade. William hands his business down to the next generation, but when Leeds train station is destroyed by fire, can William's grandson ride to the rescue?
A ruthless factory owner is hit by an arson attack, a pacifist couple make a stand and one man sets sail for a life on the glamourous Atlantic liners.
David follows the trails of a traumatised soldier on the run, a family man at breaking point and one resident who developed an interest in the paranormal.
The Second World War puts our residents in danger. Leeds is a shock to a Greek war bride with a tragic past and a return for students who lived here at the Millennium.
