'An important account of Labour's traditional, community-based values with many lessons for today'. -- John Prescott, former MP, on Paul Salveson's 'Socialism with a Northern Accent' 'As Paul Salveson shows throughout this book, love of our Lancashire countryside has always been at the heart of progressive working class politics.' -- Maxine Peake on Paul Salveson's 'Moorlands, Memories and Reflections' 'The strength of the Lancashire people is within me. You get on and do it. There are no airs and graces.' -- Jane Horrocks, 'The Guardian' 'In the early morning the mill girls clumping down the cobbled street, all in clogs, making a curiously formidable sound, like an army hurrying into battle. I suppose this is the typical sound of Lancashire.' -- George Orwell, 'The Road to Wigan Pier' 'Put Lancashire right and you put England right. Settle the factory system, and you solve the social problem of the century. Wash the drooping Red Rose, clear the soot off its polluted petals, give it more soil and more fresh air to grow in, and when the flower of Lancashire is once more blooming England will become a flourishing garden of delight.' -- Allen Clarke, 'The Effects of the Factory System', 1895
