By John Cowell.

Another one for the 'to read' pile. Paid £2 on ebay.

Winifred's story written by her son as a tribute. The story of Winifred is also the story of working class life in the 1st half of the 20th century and it portrays a Burnley, which although still within living memory, has long since disappeared.


I think I have lost the plot now :shock: This book arrived in the post this mornign but I had no recollection of ordering it or bidding on it or anything about it! I have had to search through my emails to discover how I came by it! There really is no hope for me :?

Your nowt but a lass at 36, I class 50-69 as middle age, then 70-79 as senior, then after that I'm afraid a class it as old age. This is just my personal opinion :roll: :lol:

Not read this yet but my mum has. She didn't rate it. Someone else said more or less the same.
