In the small Cheshire town of Cranford during the 1840s, a close-knit community of genteel women navigates the small dramas and quiet tragedies of provincial life as the encroaching railway threatens their settled ways. Based on Elizabeth Gaskell's novel, the story follows spinster sisters Deborah and Matty Jenkyns and their circle through episodes of financial ruin, lost love, social etiquette, and enduring friendship, finding warmth and humour amid the challenges of a changing England.
