Professor Paul Salveson is a historian and writer and lives in Bolton. He is visiting professor in ‘Worktown Studies’ at the University of Bolton and author of several books on Lancashire history It was the most significant industrial conflict in Bolton’s history, was immortalised in a novel and led to major changes in the town’s politics. The Great Engineers’ Strike of 1887 was no ordinary trade dispute but was marked by a bitterness and violence seldom seen in British industrial relations. The strike involved the ‘aristocracy’ of the Bolton labour movement – the skilled engineers whose expertise was in demand across the world. By the standards of the day they were well-paid and they enjoyed an orderly system of wage bargaining, between their own unions – mostly the Amalgamated Society of Engineers (ASE) - and the Iron Trades Employers Association.

Morris was born on 24 March 1834 in Walthamstow, then a village on the edge of Epping Forest to the north west of London. He was born into a wealthy middle class family who wanted him to join the church. Ever the dissident, he gave up Oxford University to take up art and poetry.
In 1861 he founded the Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company, which did paintings, decoration, metalwork, stained glass, jewellery, sculpture and furniture for wealthy Victorians.
His political activity dated from the struggle to stop the Tory government going to war with Russia between 1876 and 1878. His “Appeal to the Working Men of England” (1877) blamed capitalists for the war and set him on the road via liberalism and radicalism to the socialist movement.
