Travel with Dean Fraser to meet the good working folk of Lancashire through the ages and touch base with the present.
Born in Lancashire some time ago, and with a fascination for social history, in Dean's first collection he tells many poetic tales of his own forebears. A family man enlists in the Chorley Pals, against her will a teenage girl finds herself grafting on a working canal boat in the 1920's and we meet a trader on Preston market in the depths of a freezing winter.
We take walks in Blackpool and stand alongside the poet as he performs his tales that rhyme sometimes, across the Red Rose County.
