Your thoughts about the "workers" of earlier times makes me think you may have socialist leanings - far more attractive in a woman than dangly earrings methinks.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-27419599440856671542010-03-08T23:52:00.588+00:002010-03-08T23:52:00.588+00:00What an interesting account,YP.

Astonishing to think that so many lives could be taken and yet the incident be virtually erased from the annals of local history, especially as it was caused by the element that was so important to the town's indusry. Perhaps it reflects, sadly, how dispensable the working class people were considered, but odd that there wasn't one altruistic factory owner taking up the baton to commemorate them. (Had it have happened thirty years down the line, I'm sure JG Graves would have been erecting a memorial before the mud dried up...but probably for all the wrong reasons!) <br /> Coincidentally, I've just been re-reading, Graham Swift's, 'Waterland', which touches on the importance of water to the, albeit different, industries of the Fens at around about the same time.We so easily forget, in our push-button world, the dangers that workers encountered, every day, to provide basic goods and services.Elizabethnoreply@blogger.com
