DAILY LIFE
Liza, a cripple, walked five miles each day to and from work for fifty years, and in the end took a few shillings a week pension from the local hospital so they could cut up her feet when she died (which she soon did) . . .
Old women in the workhouse were seated in order of entry, and had to wait for the older inhabitants to die in order to move nearer the fire . . .
During election campaigns voters took free drinks from each candidate, and sometimes were too drunk to vote for anyone on polling day . . .
But down the road at Old Trafford there was football and cricket.
