She hasn't been airbrushed out of local Labour Party history. Her story is truly remarkable, when you think that a girl brought up in Ossy in the early 1900s and went on to achieve what she did.
I mentioned in a previous post that she wrote several letters to Jim Ainsworth, when Jim was writing he's book on Labour history in Accrington
Jim incidentally is a Stanley fan, and he sits just behind me in the stand. I'll try and collar him at the match on Saturday.Maybe I can get him to come on Accy Web to explain more about Margaret Mckay
