    About this ebook

    Catherine Rothwell grew up in Lancashire in the 1920s and '30s, and this charming account of her childhood is a valuable insight into another world. Here we read about daily life in the county, family, schooldays, cinemas, holidays on the coast and in the Lake District, local characters, markets and shops and Christmas-time and relive memories of the long-forgotten streets, landscapes and surroundings of days gone by. These stories, illustrated with a variety of beautiful photographs, many taken by Catherine's father who was a professional photographer, will evoke nostalgic memories of Lancashire before the Second World War. A heartwarming and enchanting read, My Lancashire Childhood will appeal to anyone who lives in the county.

      Reading the article ‘Here’s sick in your eye’ [FT431:50] reminded me of a book entitled We Are Electric by Sally Adee. In this we read that Alexander von Humboldt inserted a silver wire connected to a galvanic pile into his rectum from which he exper
