150 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (30th NOV. - 6th DEC. 1870)
This week's many stories include the juicy Parr scandal of a married woman and a sixteen-year-old boy, the man given three months in prison for sleeping in the open air, the new Whiston Workhouse cook resigns, the fat Christmas geese and turkeys in Market Street, a benefit concert in the Volunteer Hall for a blind member of a band and the prosecution of the Prescot apprentice watchmaker for not turning up to work.
