Joseph
Ashby of Tysoe, the agricultural trade unionist, travelled round Warwickshire
in the 1890s observing ‘the real life lived by the labouring poor
in the villages of Warwickshire’. He published a delightful series
of articles in the Warwick Advertiser; this book contains extracts from
his articles illustrated by old photographs. The burning issues of the
day included hunting, gipsies and affordable housing. Read this book to
discover the secrets hidden behind the cottage doors of Victorian England.
