The Life and Times of Furness Vale Printworks by Chris Bond is based upon the scrapbooks of Mr W. A. Bradbury who was employed as a foreman for 53 years. "W. A. B." was also very much involved in public life; the District Council, School, Chapel and the Co-op were just a few of his many duties. He chronicled events in both the Printworks and the district around Furness Vale. This is a unique record of life in the village between 1794 and 1925.
This book was first published in 2012 and quickly sold out. We have only recently been able to arrange a re-print and copies are once again available from the History Society at £5. The book is on sale at Society meetings, the community shop and from 34 Yeardsley Lane. Copies may also be ordered from our online shop: https://etsy.me/343ItSQ
