A pair of star-crossed lovers…with mothers to match

A pair of star-crossed lovers…with mothers to match

For fifty years “Gone for a Burton ” meant the annual migration of young labourers from East Anglia to Burton-on-Trent to do the malting for the breweries. They worked hard, played hard and at Christmas always brought their mums home a teapot from The Potteries. 

Then one lad brought home a baby.

Following his “brother’s” drowning, Joseph discovers an address in Burton and goes looking for answers. Instead he discovers Norkies pitted against Burtonians in a fight for jobs.

He also discovers Emily and in true Romeo and Juliet style they fall in love.

Then his mother arrives.
