Silvertown
Receiving an old family photograph out of the blue, Alex Huggins is intrigued by the mysterious young woman staring sadly out at him from beside his eleven-year-old father and grandparents. Could she be an aunt he never knew about? So begins a journey of discovery in which Alex uncovers an appalling injustice and a catastrophic series of events which ultimately allow him to understand the father he lost at an early age.
Set in 1983, but dealing with events from the First World War, this poignant and warm-hearted story will take you back to the cataclysmic 1917 munitions factory explosion at Silvertown in East London, the largest explosion the capital has ever experienced, and the devastating effect it had on one East End family.
