By gum, life were sparse! : memories of northern mill towns
Mitchell, W. R. (William Reginald), 1928-1993
Book
Growing up in the Yorkshire Dales, the author witnessed the last great flourish of the northern textile towns. King cotton ruled, wool barons amassed huge fortunes, and in the shadow of the giant red-brick mills workers eked out a life of grinding poverty. This is an evocation of the times.
