Langley Working Men's Liberal Club
posted on: 2/27/2007 11:09:31 AM

Langley Mill
1887 Ripley Advertiser
Proposed Liberal Club
This small hamlet, belonging to the township of Heanor, has a number of aspiring Liberals who are determined not to be cut out by their neighbours. On Monday evening, the already existing Liberal Committee met at the Arab Inn for the purpose of discussing the desirability of starting a club, and amongst others present were Joseph Riley, J. Kew (hon sec) W. Holmes, C. Baker, William Pender, T. Manchester, James Riley, G. Hall &c Mr Joseph Riley was voted to the chair, and in opening remarked that Liberalism at Langley Mill was on the increase, and believed if a club could be started it would be of great benefit in keeping them together. A lengthy discussion took place, in which Messrs Kew, Hall, and Pender took active part, and a resolution was subsequently passed to the effect “That a club be started, to be called the Langley Working Men’s Liberal Club.”
