The story of Mexborough and its people during the Great War.In From Pit Town to Battlefields: 1914-1916, Mexborough in the Great War Bill Lawrence presents the story of the town and its people during the first two-and-a-half years of the 'war to end all wars'. Using a wealth of original archive material together with items from the local newspaper, The Mexborough and Swinton Times this account provides a vivid picture of life on the Home Front and on the killing fields of Western Europe. Apart from presenting an account of the war years themselves, this book also examines the crucial years immediately preceding the outbreak of hostilities. An invaluable introduction to those with an interest in the Great War, and an in-depth look at the way everyday life continued during the conflict, From Pit Town to Battlefields is essential reading for anyone with a desire to know more about that war and both the people and history of Mexborough.

The first published collection of work by Peterborough lyricist and performance poet Ron Graves. Ian McMillan: 'Here is a collection of poems shaped around a life lived to the full, and a need to explain and illuminate and bear witness to that life; this writing communicates feelings and conveys ideas through rhythm, through the urgency of converting the spoken word to the page, through the care taken to be inclusive and not exclusive. 'There is thought here, and it’s the kind of deep thought that invites you in to swim around in it, not the kind of deep thought that drags you down like quicksand. 'The poetry scene is in good, safe hands at the moment, and Ron’s are a pair of the safest.'
