Top tier performance from Pete Morton/Sailor Swift at the #EverymanFolkClub last night. Vast number of joyful songs & tall tales integrated with satire, history, and philosophy. A monumental display of skill and ingenuity from this great entertainer. #Everymanfolk #Suffolk @talkingblues.bsky.social

🧵This 1873 engraving of Bradford from Cliff(e) Quarry captures perfectly the raw scale, environmental impact, and economic landscape of the industrial revolution in the West Riding. Sprawling, multi-story textile mills dominate the valley whilst dozens of chimneys choke the sky with dense smog.
