The pressure is on for Charles and Isabella. With no hope of outside investment, and with horns still locked with Johnny, money for the viaduct is running out and wages need to be paid. When Charles announces that wages will be delayed, the navvy workforce is up in arms and calls a strike. How long can Charles ignore this problem and will he find the cash in time to keep the men from revolting?
It's time for George to move back into Annie's hut after his time living with Coates at the Steam Truck. But it's obvious that George has things on his mind, and memories of his family's old life still haunt him. Memories that mightn't be all they seem. Annie has buried a dark secret about her family's past that looks to come to the surface now George is back under her roof.
Yesterday wilderness. Tomorrow civilisation. In the Yorkshire Dales in the 1870s, the shantytown of Jericho is the home of a community that will live, thrive and die in the shadow of the viaduct they've been brought together to build.
