"Eleven stories, thousands of years apart. A cast of hundreds. One town.

​

An Ice Age elephant struggles with a warming climate, a welsh slave girl has her faith tested in an Anglo-Saxon village, and a bookmaker's son grows to old age as the Victorian era brings prosperity to the town.

​

Each of these fictionalised stories introduces a piece of archaeological or historical evidence, and asks: what does this tell us about human life?"
