Légende

Workers' strikes in Lancashire - attack and burning of the house of Colonel Raynsford Jackson, in Wilpshire, 1878. The fire that burnt down Clayton Grange was started by cotton workers during the cotton riots. The high cost of basic necessities, the lack of work, business problems and some laws that affected the poorest classes, were the causes that provoked strikes of miners and workers during the month of May 1878. At an early age, Robert Raynsford Jackson (1823-1898) commenced work at Blackburn in cotton mills, of which he ultimately became proprietor. From "La Ilustración Española y Americana", 1878.
