SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6th. HISTORY FAIR AT VICTORIA BATHS, MANCHESTER LLHF had a walk-right-round stall at this event, exhibiting material from past issues of the Newsletter relating to the two themes of the event: Greater Manchester and Oral History. Some of the people I spoke to had had no idea that their area had featured in our contents, e.g. the Ancoats campaign to save the Dispensary, the Ardwick project aimed at cultivating a strong sense of identity in the community, and the struggle to save the Levenshulme Carnegie Library from closure. A few did belong - one had been to our event at Haigh Hall. Right next to our stand was the Clayton Hall stand, and the ladies manning it were delighted to see the report and photographs of the Lancashire & Cheshire Antiquarian Society's visit to the Hall taken from our last issue.
