Clog Shop Chronicles

Clog Shop Chronicles

by John Ackworth

Set in the fictional 19th-century village of Beckside, 'Clog Shop Chronicles' offers a glimpse into the lives of a close-knit Methodist community. The stories revolve around a group of characters who gather around the fire in the local clog shop, sharing tales of their everyday experiences. With a blend of humor and sentimentality, the book captures the essence of village life in Lancashire, showcasing the traditions, dialects, and relationships that bind the community together. The stories are told in a phonetic version of late 19th-century Bolton speech, immersing readers in the authentic voice of the characters and the unique language of the region.
