What The Dickens

"Mills, Muck and Methodists. 200 Years of the Methodist Church in Lune Street, Preston" by Maureen Abson is both interesting and an easy read. I am already halfway through the book. The mill owners were absolutely awful, and Preston was so bad that Dickens used it as a model for "Coketown" in "Hard Times", and after the various shootings in the name of the businessmen, Karl Marx reported on the Prestonians in a positive light

I am still reading "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it

The music is "The Words That Maketh Murder" by Polly Jean Harvey

Dark Satanic Mills

"Mills, Muck and Methodists. 200 years of the Methodist Church in Lune Street, Preston" by Maureen Abson.  It is very interesting, maybe because I am a Prestonian and I visit the church that is the subject of this book for coffee and cake. I discovered Preston was the fiftieth place to be granted city status in the British Isles, and I have just gone through the founding of the Temperance Movement.
