More about the book

Set against the backdrop of 1857 Yorkshire, the narrative follows mill workers eagerly anticipating a special train trip to The Manchester Art Exhibition, rather than the typical destination of Blackpool. This significant event captivated over 1.3 million visitors, primarily comprising mill hands, factory workers, and domestic servants, highlighting the cultural aspirations and social dynamics of the working class during that era. The story explores their journey and the impact of art on their lives.
