BANDS OF HOPE

Ernest Nield

Reference to the ‘Band of Hope’ article in the Harvest magazine prompted me to search for the Member’s Card which had belonged to my father-in-law, Ernest Nield. He became a member on 31st October, 1900, and as far as I am aware he abstained from all alcoholic, intoxicating drinks throughout his life. He was a member of Fulwood Methodist Church from its opening in 1912. He was married here on 27th May, 1916, and he died in July, 1967. Ernest was employed as chief photographer for both the ‘Lancashire Evening Post’ and the ‘Farmers’ Guardian’ until retirement in 1953.
