Frayers of Knottsley

In 1929 the Frayers family, Tom, his wife Bessie and their seven children, live in an East Midlands mining village, where Tom and his two eldest sons work in the local colliery. In this old-fashioned, warm-hearted evocation of a largely vanished way of life we see the family at work, both above and below ground, and in the wider community - visiting friends and relatives, in church, on the cricket ground or a trip to the seaside. They find love, loyalty, humor, pathos, a little danger, a little crime - all the things that make up the life of a close-knit community.Bairstow, Cyril is the author of 'Frayers of Knottsley', published 2007 under ISBN 9781842625507 and ISBN 1842625500.
