Book arrived by Royal Mail this morning, ordered on ebay the day before yesterday. If you are reading this Richard Crossley thanks for such prompt service, delivered to my partner Richard in Morecambe.
Now beware - although a paperback, this book is
heavy thanks to its 200 odd pages of good quality paper (no jokes about light reading please!). There is a lot of text and the photos are quite small and incidental but on a quick flip through it looks like an interesting read, in bite size chunks thanks to being a weekly column.
As befits a feature for ladies there are quite a lot of weddings but also a great deal about the musical life of the town - which was thriving.
Just as today, there are gripes - especially about the lack of electric trams, the need for baths in Accrington, and the stink from the river.
A book to dip into and enjoy at leisure until your arms get too tired to bear the weight. Thank you Richard for putting it together. I must say I do remember Ladies Chain in the Observer when I was young (50s/60s).
