Pathetic Holiday for Leicester Disabled Workers
A correspondent describes a small Leicester room where two women, one bound to a spinal carriage, support each other while making nickerbockers for scant pay. On June 22 the group travels by train to Hunstanton, hosted by the Men’s Adult School, funded by local workers. The day features an all‑volunteer effort, with rail staff and employers aiding transport, a seaside promenade, a town hall meal, and an open air concert, celebrating disabled guests whose burdens are eased by community support.
