Tales and Sketches of Lancashire Life: Marlocks of Merriton and Red Windows Hall is a book written by Benjamin Brierley and published in 1884. The book is a collection of short stories and sketches that provide a vivid portrayal of life in Lancashire during the 19th century. The two main stories in the book are ''Marlocks of Merriton'' and ''Red Windows Hall''. ''Marlocks of Merriton'' is a story about a family who are struggling to make ends meet and the sacrifices they make to keep their family together. ''Red Windows Hall'' is a story about a wealthy family who are forced to confront their own prejudices when they are faced with a crisis. The book is a fascinating insight into the lives of people in Lancashire during a time of great social and economic change. Brierley’s writing style is engaging and his characters are well-drawn, making the book a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of Lancashire or the social history of Britain in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
