by JAMES HANLEY
When Charlie Elston arrived at Garlton he found a very packed town, but he was lucky enough to see an advertisement in The Church Gazette for a lodger in Baptist Street. As Mrs. Baines explained to him on arrival: ' Space is like gold up here, Charlie.' He found there more than he expected.
