The new edition of Will Yo’ Come O’ Sunday Mornin’? – the Story of the 1896 Winter Hill Trespass will be launched on Sunday September 6th, the 113th anniversary of the original event. The day will include a walk over part of the route of the mass demonstration of 10,000 Boltonians, starting from Smithills Hall at 10.30. We will be back at the hall in time for refreshments and a talk on the events of 1896 by Paul Salveson.
