I saw it on Yesterday. A womans husband died so she went to work for a local landowner but she had to put her eldest daughter in the workhouse. The daughter was well educated and taught others to read and write, annoying the owner. The daughter was left some money and wanted to start her own school for all, including girls, which she did after marrying the son of the workshop owner. Does anyone know the name of that story? I hope it's enough info. TIA.

Was it last Sunday? If so- The Fifteen Streets. (from Radio Times)
Oh, didn't know there's been a C.C.-based film EVERY Sunday on Yesterday. Could it be The Round tower, The Rag Nymph, The Moth, or The Man who Cried? Know who was in it- may help.
If it helps 10, there's loads of Catherine Cookson clips on You Tube from her t.v dramatisations.

When exactly did you see it on Yesterday can you remember?
List of her novels here 10 ... http://www.fantasticf.../c/catherine-cookson/
OohI dunno though, having re read your summary.Trouble is, one CC is much like another, but the site will list all CC films
I can only find ''fifteen streets'' in my tv mag. Synopsis says:-Feature length
period drama starring Sean Bean, Owen Teale and Jane Horrocks. A docker
and a school-teacher finding love across the divide in early 20th century
Newcastle. [It was told over two nights].

Your're desciption made me instantly think of the one with Bob Peck (as the sex pest landowner) and Jean Anderson (as the grand old lady of the big house she went to work in). So The Black Velvet Gown is right. Couldn't have told you the title though.
If the her husband was a shipman the title is Tide of Life
If her husband worked at the docks and she was left a watch, the title is Tide of Life
The Black Velvet Gown
