The People's History

My preference was to visit the National Football Museum, but somehow we ended up at the People's History Museum instead: lashings of popular radicalism, the Peterloo massacre, and 19th century trade unionism - not forgetting women's suffrage, the cooperative movement, and the 1945 General Election.

I must confess it was very interesting and well-presented, and I'll certainly be back for more. And at the end I sat with my dad and watched highlights of the 1923 cup final - we got our fix of the people's game after all!
