"An Isle of Surrey: A Novel" by Richard Dowling is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The story begins in a dreary setting by Welford Bridge, where a group of disreputable men loiter around the South London Canal, discussing the rumors surrounding Crawford's House and its new inhabitants. The central characters introduced include Jim Ford, known as Red Jim, and various other dockworkers and loafers who ponder the mysteries of their neighborhood, alongside William Crawford, the protagonist, who has taken up residence in the titular house. At the start of the narrative, the atmosphere is thick with intrigue and a sense of foreboding. Red Jim and his companions are drawn to talk about the mysterious happenings concerning Crawford's House, particularly focusing on the owner and the implications of past events that seem to haunt the new inhabitants. Meanwhile, the opening also hints at the arrival of Crawford at his new residence, his interactions with the vibrant Hetty and her brother Alfred Layard, and a deeper mystery that surrounds Crawford's identity and his past, establishing a foundation for the unfolding drama as the characters navigate their intertwined fates against the backdrop of their gritty surroundings.
