Cranford (adapted by Martyn Coleman)

Elizabeth Gaskell, Martyn Coleman
Cranford is a small country market town, inhabited largely by
women.
This is a community that runs on cooperation and gossip, at the
very
heart of which are the daughters of the former rector Miss Deborah
Jenkyns and her sister Miss Matty. But domestic peace is constantly
threatened in the form of financial disaster, imagined burglaries,
tragic accidents, and the reappearance of long-lost relatives.

Summary
By the time Mrs Gaskell wrote the stories in the 1860s, the slow world of Cranford had been lost to gaslight, mass production in factories, railways and much more tea available for the working classes.
