About this listen

 In which we arrive at Preston, a comely manufacturing town made strangely wholesome by the silence of cold chimneys, and find its people thrown into an enforced holiday by a great lock-out that has stilled the mills and sharpened every tongue. Upon the Marsh, amid games paused and speeches begun, we observe the rough parliament of working life while the contest between masters and hands gathers, like weather on the Ribble, into a heavy and expectant air.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Audible acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
