And she notices the history of this place, ever-present, despite those cranes. She begins to know the people here — the young couple down the road, the glorious thirteen-year-old from the housing commission flats, and Alan, the eighty-three-year-old man who stands every day, shirtless, watering the garden of the house he was born in.'
