In this funny and moving memoir, Brian Hirst pays tribute to his family, and the community in which he was raised, portraying the struggle they faced – and still face – maintaining their culture and sense of worth and dignity, sometimes against fearsome odds.
He vividly recalls a world that has disappeared – the world of “lower working class” people in the shoddy mill town of Batley, West Yorkshire, and brings us up-to-date with life in the family and community today.

In his next book, Brian tells the story of his childhood and adolescence, living and growing up in Batley.
