Bicentenary Commemoration

As I mentioned last time, we are soon approaching the 200th anniversary of the Luddite uprisings, and I understand firm plans are already being made to celebrate the occasion in Huddersfield. More events throughout England are doubtless to follow. My growing interest in this topic is probably a sign that I need to plan a trip to the area too, to see some history! More later...

    Thanks for the comment on one of my "Luddite" blogs. Rather spookily Imentioned Huddersfield in a later blog. Did you manage to get to the Luddite festivities?

    No, haven't yet. The main celebrations won't start of course until 2011 so I'm looking at a trip to that part of the world sometime next year. Keeping my eyes peeled for some web activity about this. If I see any I'll post links back here.
    Thanks for the interest.
