This episode was a little different for us as my narrator has absconded and it's the first once I've had to read myself! We only cover two stories in this short episode, but they are linked by fire. Not something I initially set out to do, but two interesting stories of ordinary people in one town.I first found both of these stories while visiting Dorset last year and the size and quantity of cemeteries around Poole struck me. I could probably spend a lifetime just getting to know the people in those few square miles. â€‹
