The fascinating story of William and Will Mellor …… the talk today

Now I am looking forward to Barry Clark's free talk on William and Will Mellor, who lived in Chorlton, were active in Manchester’s labour movement and were bookbinders by profession.

Both men rather fell out of history, but Barry has brought them back, having written about their contribution to both trade union and Labour history as well as being outstanding artists and professional bookbinders

Barry’s talk at Chorlton Library on May 7th at 7pm in the Community Room at Chorlton Library, which will be followed on May 13th by a free bookbinding demonstration at St Werburgh’s Church Hall on Wilbraham Road between 1 and 4 pm.

Both events are part of Chorlton Arts Festival which runs from April 29th to May 30th.*
