Description

A study which combines personal reminiscences with careful historical research, the myth of the ‘good old days’ is summarily dispensed with; Robert Roberts describes the period of his childhood, when the main affect of poverty in Edwardian Salford was degredation, and, despite great resources of human courage, few could escape such a prison.
