Decades later, Bruce is serving as a Leeds magistrate when a similar case comes before him - can he save a young man's life this time? / / Tracking our house forward, David uncovers the remarkable rags-to-riches story of Ann Dawson, who went from working on the factory floor to living in style in Grosvenor Mount. When her husband's business collapses, Ann looks set to lose it all. / / Finally, David learns that our house was home to master builder William Nicholson, founder of a famous dynasty that built Leeds landmarks including County Arcade.

By 1913, Number 5 is home to respectable couple Frederick and Louisa Pryce Lewis.

While father John serves as an ARP warden, teenage son Geoffrey joins the Merchant Navy and finds his ship is a target for German U-boats. / / The next residents are Yorkshireman Michael and his Greek wife Popi. Tracing their story, David uncovers a romance forged in war-torn Europe that leads the couple to England via Italy and eventually to a bustling neighbourhood of New York City. / / As Britain lifts out of post-war austerity, the house is bought by Alan and Edith Weir. They both work on the famous newspaper the Yorkshire Post.
