Publications

All Work No Play book coverAll Work & No Play? An Ancoats Scrapbook

The Ancoats oral history project "All Work and No Play" has now come to the end of its funding. Over 30 interviews were undertaken by volunteers with people who were brought up or lived in the Ancoats area. The original interviews will be held on disc at the North West Sound Archive. As a celebration of the project, and a keepsake for those who took part, an "Ancoats Scrapbook: All Work and No Play?" has been published, featuring quotes and photos from the interviewees, ranging in subject from swimming in canals, to working conditions in the mills, to days out to Blackpool. Unfortunately, the publication has proved so popular that copies have now run out. You can still view it online.

A & G Murray and the Cotton Mills of Ancoats

The shell repair of Murrays' Mills has been documented by a publication - "A & G Murray and the Cotton Mills of Ancoats". Prepared by Ian Miller and Chris Wild of Oxford Archaeology North, the book offers a detailed survey of these buildings, and though it is aimed at academics and specialists in industrial archaeology, it will also be of interest to general readers. Price: £16.95 (plus £2.50 p&p); make cheques payable to "Oxford Archaeology North" and send to Oxford Archaeology North, Mill 3, Moor Lane Mills, Moor Lane, Lancaster, LA1 1GF, or visit thehumanjourney.net.
