‘The Night-Soil Men’

Launch of the new book by Bill Broady

Thursday 11^th July

Doors open at 1pm for a 1.15pm start.

“Set between 1893 and 1937, ‘The Night-Soil Men’ begins with a birth—of the Independent Labour Party– and ends with a death and a strange ceremony high on Ickornshaw Moor. Its main characters are Bradford MP Fred Jowett, Philip Snowden(the first Labour chancellor) and the eternally enigmatic and scandalous Victor Grayson. Long in its research and its writing, the book is wildly ambitious in its scope, with its concerns extending far beyond the political world…” The event will feature readings from the book by local author Bill Broady.
