  • In a West Yorkshire Constituency, 1920S – 1970S
    LIBERAL ROOTS: ThE LIBEral ParTY IN A WEST YORKShirE CONSTITUENCY, 1920S – 1970s From 1966 to 1971, as a teenager, Jaime Reynolds lived in Morley, West Yorkshire, now part of south Leeds. During that time he was an active member of the Liberals, who were enjoying something of a renaissance in the Batley & Morley constituency. In 1969 Batley borough council was briefly the only local authority in England and Wales where the Liberals were the largest party. Jaime’s desire was to chart the story of Liberal fortunes in these Yorkshire mill towns and pay tribute to the efforts of the pioneers who led the revival there. Thanks to the Liberal Democrat History Group, a few years ago he reestablished contact with Peter Wrigley. 26 Journal of Liberal History 80 Autumn 2013 LIBERAL ROOTS: ThE LIBEral ParTY IN A WEST YORKShirE CONSTITUENCY, 1920S – 1970s eter was one of those pio- in Morley in 1852.
