The husband of Alice and father of Jimmy, Joe, Mickey, Maggie and Esme, Bill is a drunk and a bully, feared and despised by his family and scorned by Folkestone society at large.
Unemployed mostly, Bill sometimes works as a barker. Reckless and violent, he frequently gets in fights and is well known by the local police and magistrates.
