In this area (Milton Place, Halifax), 61% of the residents were born in the United Kingdom, which is significantly below the UK average.

Edgell Wyatt Edgell was a noted local philanthropist, contributing large amounts to the rebuilding of St John’s Church in 1817 and founding the Wyatt Edgell Egham Coal Charity.

The author took the story to a place I wasn’t expecting but dealt with it in a very thoughtful manner. There are moments of drama, and a few of farce, tension and a love story, but the main love story is that of a man for his garden, I think, and the joy of the plot is actually found again in the quiet but precise observation – the nuances of an unpleasant and strained atmosphere at the tea table; the contrast between Emily’s inability to notice nature and Anita’s quiet glory in it. But the book is also about the love affair between Anita and Mr Barlow at one end of the spectrum and Anita and his grandson Tony at the other. She comes to his large but crumbling manor for refuge - much to the annoyance of his bustling daughter, who wants him out of the house and into somewhere 'more appropriate'.
