All Saints Church Grand Concert Tyldesley + Blackpool Choir 1896
An original programme for an All Saints Church Grand Concert held at Victoria Schools, Tyldesley, on 26 November 1896, featuring the Blackpool Prize Choir.
Choral concerts were hugely popular in the industrial towns of Lancashire, where choirs competed for prizes and drew large audiences.
Local concert programmes from the 1890s are scarce survivors and make an evocative addition to any collection of Victorian theatre memorabilia and musical ephemera.
