Figure 3a – a poem and sketch, written and drawn in 1906, about Ancoats,
an inner-city area of Manchester
A dreary place is Ancoats,
’Tis full of smoke and fogs,
The lasses wear shawls on their heads
Their feet are shod with clogs.
’Tis really not a pleasant place
Upon a rainy day ;
We have to start with Ancoats tho’,
for Ancoats starts with A.
Note: This was written by Roger Oldham in 1906 for a book entitled ‘A–Z of Manchester’

A news report about the protest in Grasmere
Protesters to mass at Grasmere ‘to save beauty of the Lakes’
Earlier this month more than 200 people gathered in the village of Grasmere to object to plans by
Lowther Estate, which owns the lake, to moor 10 holiday yachts on its shores. Proposals include
allowing holidaymakers to stay on the boats overnight, accommodating up to six people for a week,
and allowing them to freely navigate Grasmere.
Local people say commercialisation will destroy the beauty and tranquillity of the national park for
future generations. The lake is overlooked by Dove Cottage – home of William Wordsworth – who
described Grasmere as “the loveliest spot that man hath ever found”.
Andy Astle, 62, a retired Royal Mail manager who has lived in the village for almost five decades, and
Joe Nichols, also a local resident, said they had been forced to act to protect the national park as a
public space and save its heritage.
Nichols said he expected thousands of people to join the protest. He said, “Over the last two years
Lowther Estate have desperately tried to exploit the land for commercial gain at the expense of the
environment.” He added: “We can no longer tolerate the constant attempted abuse of areas which
should be protected by those who own them.”
David Bliss, chief executive of Lowther Estate, argues that the yachts do not constitute a new
development. “The first thing is that they are definitely not houseboats and they already exist on
Windermere, Ullswater and Derwentwater, and the second is that they are not detrimental to the
area. They will complement other boats already used in Grasmere,” he said [Show Less]
