      In 1937, the "Mass-Observation" organization was founded to record the everyday life of ordinary people for a popular audience. The mass-observers followed labourers, from the routine of work and home life in the Lancashire town of Bolton, to Blackpool. They recorded what they saw, hoping to discover what attracted workers to this crowded temple of Victorian culture and also to transcend class prejudice and sociological theory. The annual pilgrimage to Blackpool was at the centre of the annual cycle of renewal and release in working-class life. The observers studied holiday dreams, the role of freak shows and the themes of music-hall songs. They investigated crowd behaviour on the streets, beaches and in the pubs. The seaside and its attractions were a stage in which those under observation released their feelings about personal life, family and work. "Mass-Observation" was unable to publish this study due to the outbreak of World War II. Gary Cross has now arranged and edited these largely forgotten testimonials.
