Do you have a figure for LP membership in 2019? I’d say whatever that was then, it’s around 40% of that today.

I got teapots Assam teabags a few years ago, after a long time drinking the Twinnings ones for ages. First few cups were amazingly refreshing. The perfect brew. Habituation soon began to take hold and it wasn’t too long before the experience became everyday. Eventually moved to Lidl Assam!

As someone who was brought up in Castleford, and secondary schooled in North Featherstone, I have been fascinated by this bit of local history for a long time. I’ve always wondered about the possible Irish connections of James Duggan and how his story might tie in to the influx of Irish workers…
