 | Ruined City | Henry Warren is a wealthy City financier, but his marriage is on the rocks when fate lands him in the hospital of the northern town of Sharples, a town with a proud history of shipbuilding, but now in the grip of depression and recession. Inspired by his kind treatment at the hospital he decides to invest in the town, buys the old shipyards and works hard to create jobs, health and hope for the community. But in raising capital for the new venture he finds he has to risk his reputation and even his freedom, in the interests of his new workforce and their families.
