In the eighth and final novel describing the Morrow family of Newgate Street, we find them twenty-one years later during 1966. The business is now being managed by Maggie and Anthony who do not have a great deal of hope for its long term future due to the changing requirements of Londoners, many of whom are now daily commuters and not members of local families who had lived in the area for generations.

Maud and Richard are now in their seventies and retired. They live above the hardware store but still show a keen interest in it, as well as their family and friends.

However, many of those and their adult children have dissipated of course to various parts of the suburbs leaving them somewhat isolated and alone.

Therefore, the elderly couple find living in the modern world difficult because not only are they surrounded by powerful memories but find it increasingly difficult to accept the contemporary concepts that the youth enjoy. With every passing year they know the world that offered them the best years of their life is fast disappearing.

Yet, they do their best to enjoy what time is left to them by visiting Forest Reach, roaming to Paris and Cornwall and catching up with old and valued friends as their deep affection for each other increases.

This was one of those novels written many years ago and it has now been extensively rewritten in 2024 eliminating the grammatical errors that I had previously made. I humbly apologise for those early readers who struggled with it and made this book such a success.
