The Sweet Shop on the Shambles

York 1949. The war may be over, but Yorkshire matriarch Winnie Freeman still has her three daughters to worry about.

The eldest Rose has become a little too friendly with the new boss of the Rowntrees chocolate factory, and her loving home no longer feels like a haven. Meanwhile middle daughter Annie is struggling with her second baby.

But it’s the youngest, Molly, who is the biggest worry of all. As sugar rationing ends, she is set on turning the old bakery on the Shambles into a sweetshop, rather than settle down with the practically perfect William!

War and munitions work showed what women could do – can Molly turn her dreams into a reality?
