Thread Name: Songs about Yorkshire & Lancashire
Subject: RE: Origins: Yorkshire / Lancashire
I'd go with "Strawberry Fields Forever" Alec! I'd also go with "Eleanor Rigby" - shame it's not about a real person but there were, and no doubt still are, plenty of Eleanor Rigby's about today.

Bowton's Yard
A Merry Little Doffer Lad
Our Sarah's Getting a Chap
Eaur Market Neet
Shurat Weaver's Song
Cotton Lords of Preston
Calico Printer' Clerk
Rawtenstall Annual Fair
(The last 2 songs were written by professional writers - Music Hall star Harry Clifton in the case of Calico... and Lee and Weston for Rawtenstall Fair. but the songs remind me of Lancashire)

Cheers
Mark
