    ? Possibly ? 22 May 1901 because of a couple of letters in the NLI catalogue, which I cannot see at the moment ...

  • Suck Diesel said:
    The newly elected Liberal government introduced the 1906 Education Bill to bring more state control over religious education in schools, favoring a non-denominational approach.
    The Catholic community across England—with Lancashire and Preston showing a particularly strong, united front—vigorously opposed the bill. They argued it undermined the fundamental right to have distinct Catholic schools staffed by Catholic teachers for Catholic children.
    Following massive public protests like this one and intense resistance from the Catholic Church, the bill was ultimately rejected by the House of Lords and never became law.

    I wonder what they would make of our Educate Together Schools?

    The meeting at the covered market took place on 20th May. The Lancashire Evening Post reported on it the next day. The article began:
    CATHOLIC PROTEST.
    THOUSANDS CONDEMN AN “ILLIBERAL AND TYRANNICAL” MEASURE
    MEMORABLE DEMONSTRATION AT PRESTON.
    Not within the religious life of Preston has there been such a remarkable demonstration as that made by the Catholics of the town yesterday in defence of their schools and in condemnation of the Government’s Education Bill. It is impossible accurately to gauge the numbers those who gathered under and near the Covered Market and within its neighbourhood. It was officially stated that there were 30,000 Catholics present, and this number wa.s swelled by the presence of thousands of others drawn by sympathy and curiosity.

    While the demonstration was essentially Catholic, having been organised the local Catholic Parents’ Education League, it was voluntarily participated in by many adherents the Anglican Church, who, feeling that a common cause was being espoused, raised their voice in harmony in vigorously protesting against what they characterised as the Government’s attempt to confiscate their schools.


    In the Preson Herald the estimate of the numbers of those present was 50,000.

    There were processions with banners from each of the Catholic churches in the town, which converged at the covered market.

Hanging out the washing on the Artiglio's line

    The Artiglio was a salvage ship apparently...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artiglio

    Launched in 1906 (and sunk in 1930) according to Wikipedia, so that narrows the date range a bit
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Rory Sherlock It does. Thank you.

    If so this is the salvage ship Artigilo 2 as the first was sunk off France in 1930 while salvaging the SS Egypt.

    Following the trail of the ship’s change of names and purpose brought me to this page. If the dates of the change of name are right (Name of Artiglio being adopted in 1928) then the photo is a lot later than so far suggested.
