Description
Canky's Trade is set in Middleton, south Lancashire, in 1811. During this tumultuous year, Lord Byron stayed at Hopwood Hall and became embroiled in local affairs.
The story weaves together the lives of several individuals, including Oliver Canky, a sexton with a mysterious occupation, and Sam Bamford, a young poet from the area. A murder, a prostitute's tragic fate, and strange occurrences in Owd Scrat's isolated house all contribute to a complex narrative.
Against this backdrop of social change and upheaval, Byron's presence has a profound impact on those around him. As tensions rise with the Luddites and their destructive resistance to new machinery, Canky's Trade explores the intricate relationships between people and the consequences of their actions.
