Full Description

Bryan Fraser has used over 200 photographs, taken from his extensive archive, to compile this fascinating portrayal of the people of Normanton. Over a period from as early as 1860 stretching to the present day we see all aspects of the lives the people of Normanton once led. The arrival of the railway made a huge difference to the lives of these people. The railway provided employment both directly and by encouraging other industries to open and expand in the area. One of the main employers in the area were the collieries and we see many of the men and boys who worked down the pits. The many churches and chapels in the area played an important role in the community, with both a social and charitable aspect. Processions and parades are pictured, drawing people from all over the town together to enjoy the spectacle and to raise money for schools and hospitals among other good causes. As industry grew in the area so more people were in work and starting to earn better wages. We see families taking advantage of the new types of transport - the trams, buses and cars - to enjoy day trips to the seaside. Other entertainment is pictured; the Saturday night dance (where many a romance began), along with local bands and public houses. Additionally we see schoolchildren and sports teams over the years.
