The purpose of the Monday night WEA short course currently in Barrow is to edit and collate the historical notes of the late Dora Borrill, a local activist, teacher and historian. Unfortunately her ‘jottings’ were so disorganised that, in their present form, they are not accessible. Members of the class are willing to read the mass of jottings, collate them by taking a few topics each, and write them up by rejecting speculative and assumed information but recording information of value. It is intended to publish the completed work – I suggested the title ‘A Dora Borrill Miscellany’, but that may change. Such a project really needs more time than allowed by a six-weeks course but the students are working hard at home as well as in class.
