Notes
A near complete run, from no. 58 (January 3rd, 1928) to no. 3547 (August 28th, 1962), this rare local newspaper charts the political, social and commercial life of a predominantly working-class community during the decline of one of the North West's major industries. This is an early example of the free-sheet genre from the Lancashire textile town of Nelson, and includes articles contributed by often fiercely left-wing trade unionists and Labour party members, including a regular column by Sydney Silverman, the prominent MP for the Nelson and Colne constituency for over 30 years, from 1935 to his death in 1968. In addition to local issues, among the political causes for which Silverman was best known were opposition to capital punishment, pacifism and support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
From the collections of the Working Class Movement Library, Salford.
