Edwardian Accrington Observed

Edwardian Accrington Observed

Richard A. Crossley
3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
For more than 60 years during the 20th Century, the Accrington Observer and Times published a weekly column under the heading “Ladies’ Chain”.
Written by a succession of lady journalists under the pen name “Stella”, the column featured reports of and observations on the social life and weekly happenings in the town.
Its heyday, arguably, was the Edwardian era from 1901 to 1910 during which time the mantle of “Stella” was taken on by Florrie Crossley the daughter of the “Observer’s” proprietor and editor Richard S Crossley.
Besides recording details of the social life of the town’s emergent middle classes, the column also provided a platform for “Stella” to express her own often quite decided views on local affairs and a variety of contemporary issues, particularly where they affected the lives of her fellow women.
