Thousands at Darwen's Anchor Ground to hear former PM speak

By Harold Heys, local historian
IT WAS Darwen Football Club’s biggest crowd of the inter-war years. More than 12,000 packed the Anchor Ground to see the Welsh Wizard turning on the style. He had everyone in raptures with a dazzling performance that was cheered to the echo.
It was a super spectacle and even the hard-bitten reporters were impressed. “Memorable” said the Darwen News chap. “Impressive,” said the Northern Daily Telegraph man. Praise indeed, considering that the star of the show was 66 years old.
However, the vast crowd that turned up wasn’t there to watch a Lancashire Combination football match, but to listen to David Lloyd-George, former Prime Minister, supporting the Liberal candidate for the 1929 General Election, Sir Herbert Samuel. ....

But he left a couple of things behind which would today arouse a lot of interest – two autographs. Mohandas K Gandhi, known by the honorific “Mahatma” meaning “Great Soul,” is still revered by millions of Hindus, 72 years after he was assassinated in New Delhi. ....

Millions tuned in to listen as 'Have-a-Go' came to Darwen

BILL CATTERALL trudged home starkers, his modesty hidden by an old sack he’d found.
It was a nightmare come true as he dodged round the back streets, fields and alleyways of Darwen and slowly made his way home to Somerset Avenue a couple of miles away…
He didn’t think for a minute that some years later he’d be telling the tale – and close on 20 million people would be listening and laughing at his predicament.
It all started one hot sunny afternoon at Jack Kay’s lodge just before the war when Bill and a few teenage pals decided on a spot of skinny dipping.
