Daily Mirror article from 2017 "We follow George #Orwell's Road to Wigan Pier where poverty is now worse than the 1930s". I doubt things have improved much since 2017. Got Saturday 5 March in your diary yet? mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/f…

A large photo of George #Orwell was quickly recognised by local people visiting Headingley's Farmers' Market on Saturday. Many are surprised that he stayed for a while in 1936 in a street well-known amongst local students. Weather won't stop our walk, but bring a brolly.

Great evening at #Headingley library yesterday with Ray Brown, who was relaunching his new novel #Whoosh! Several in the audience could actually remember the atmosphere in 1979. He read out a section on the #Fenton pub which was instantly recognisable.

We were honoured by the presence in 2015 of the inspirational and seemingly indefatigable #IbyKnill when she was launching her book 'A Woman Without A Number'. See our blog. headingleylitfest.blogspot.com

We are deeply shocked to hear of the death last Sunday of local resident and national treasure Kay Mellor. She was a good friend of Headingley LitFest who talked to us at an event in 2013 at the New Headingley Club, when we presented her with this bouquet.
