The Job Centre is a 100 years old this month. The Observer had a feature on this auspicous anniversary last week. The piece mentioned the role that Winston Churchil the then Liberal President of the Board of Trade had in founding the Labour Exchange as it was then called although the history of the Job Centre/ Labour Exchange goes back further than that.

I’m starting a business in the New Year. Actually that is not accurate as I’m starting three. One is the ghost tour that I do in Leek “Shriek in Leek”, the other is a life story/ biography service “ Lives that made a difference” commemorating milestones in people’s lives, and the third is a historical research service for North Staffs. I have been helping an American research the life of a early 20th century artist who had a connection with the area.
