Lancashire Characters and Places

by Thomas Newbigging

Thomas Newbigging's 'Lancashire Characters and Places' is a collection of essays exploring the social, cultural, and literary landscape of Lancashire in the late 19th century. Drawing on his own experiences and research, Newbigging delves into the lives of ordinary people, local customs, and prominent figures of the era. The essays, which are often anecdotal and insightful, offer a glimpse into a bygone world, revealing the everyday joys and struggles of life in Lancashire during a period of rapid industrial and social change. The book also includes essays on two prominent Lancashire poets, John Critchley Prince and Edwin Waugh, providing valuable insights into their work and influence.
