A lovely piece of writing infused with a love of the people and the memories and a way of life now long gone.
As a one-time cabinet maker - in other words not a real one - this brought back all the memories of the wood and the smells and the mess, oh yes, the mess. And I thought it was just our workshop!
An excellent piece. As a near neighbour living in Leicester, I recognise a lot of similarities between the two cities. What Nicola has detailed above seems very prevalent throughout today's Britain.
A fascinating article. I admit to being totally unaware of the situation that the author writes about and he's opened my eyes to, for which I'm grateful.

This was beautifully written, and with such economy too.
Wonderful.
