An album with newspaper cuttings featuring twelve charming villages in Lancashire, photographed by Fred Armstrong on his tour from Cronton to Seathwaite. It was compiled by Frank Brown from Colne, Lancashire, cicra 1948.
Frank used one of his old maths exercise books to create it, cutting and pasting the articles with great care. His homework scribbles, in black ink, are still visible at the edges of several pages. It is a very good example of wartime recycling and making use of things around the home, something folk had to do during the 1940s.
