"The Black Madonna" takes place in the mid 50s, in a ordinary town in southern England, not far away from London. The town is a housing area, which means that many new houses are build in an area that used to be a small village. Many of the people that live there work at the same factory, (insert name here).

Because this are the mid 50s many people in this town are very Catholic and suspicious about strangers, some of them may have never seen black people before. Also most of the residents are organized in one or more of the many unions and clubs that unite the workers of this town.
