@MuseumFriends @JillLiddington Yes, I’m pleased to be doing a winter online talk on Ethel Carnie Holdsworth for you next January, big fan of Jill Liddington though, her book on Selina Cooper is brilliant. ✊

Our next History @ Heptonstall talk is fast approaching with the fascinating story of a local tailoress and suffragette - join @JillLiddington end of June to hear more. 📆 Thursday 27 June ⏰ 7:30pm 🎟️ £5/Free for FOHM members heptonstallmuseumfriends.org.uk/event/lavena-s…

@jennyaharper1 @JillLiddington And correct 7pm!!

@jennyaharper1 @JillLiddington I’m afraid this one isn’t @jennyaharper1 - we’re doing a virtual next January when no one will want to bother with in person!

Word’s out … Heptonstall Museum marks a year since volunteer reopening bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Kennedy and Boyd are publishing Ethel Carnie Holdsworth's lost novel, Equality Island. I was asked to write the introduction, which was nice.
