Chartist Garage used to just across the street from Chartist House. Very interesting subject to read about. It is hard to imagine living in times like those without what we term basic human rights these days.Ex Hydeonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13356054534187206215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-20567429958817129732010-08-12T13:29:33.654+01:002010-08-12T13:29:33.654+01:00I agree there Nancy.... my trouble was actully tur...I agree there Nancy.... my trouble was actully turning in at school.. at 13 I used to open up one of the veg stalls on Ashton Market.. I'd be there for 7 O-clock.. open it up and set the stall out... If I was lucky people who were passing would by something on there way to work... after a while the chap said what I sold at that time I could keep... :O) honesty certainly went a long way with that chap... I'd work until he came back from market and we'd unload the van... I could be home for 11... I'd always come home with a bag of fruit and veg. <br />I'd never have bother going back to school unless it was woodwork or art....Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-30792676776796292182010-08-12T11:34:33.707+01:002010-08-12T11:34:33.707+01:00I had the pleasure (?!?) of studying Chartism at s...I had the pleasure (?!?) of studying Chartism at school - mind you.

It is only since the statue was put up in Hyde that I felt I should findout more about the movement... it makes a great read, and shows the struggle working men and women had back then.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.com
