Sowerbutt's Street

The street was silent, barely a light peeped through the blackout curtains. None of the street lights were on with the blackout, save one down at the T-junction with Whitechapel Road. It was quarter-strength at best. An old soldier with his matches tray stood next to it. With the bombing, day workers were already home, ready for another night in the bomb shelter. Few people went out or socialised at night. Dedicated drinkers were already settled in their pub, still a few hours before the rush home at closing time.
