Mass Observation Online. Worktown collection, 1937-1940.
Between 1937 and 1940, Mass-Observation conducted a major study of the towns of Bolton and Blackpool. People's conversations and behaviour were recorded in a variety of settings - in the street, in the pub, at dance halls and cinemas, in churches and chapels, at meetings and public events, at work in the cotton mills and on holiday in Blackpool. The aim was to document Bolton's social and political life using the technique of 'scientific observation'.
