May 1867, in Brougham Street, Bursley, the most ancient of the Five Towns. Brougham Street runs down from St Luke sS quare straight into theS hropshire Union Canal, and consists partly of buildings known as potbanks (until they come to be sold by auction, when auctioneers describe them as extensive earthenware manufactories )and partly of cottages whose highest rent is four-and-six a week. In such surroundings was an extraordinary man born. He was the only anxiety of a widowed mother, who gained her livelihood and his by making up ladies own materials in ladies own houses. Mrs Machin, however, had a speciality apart from her vocation :she could wash flannel with less shrinking than any other woman in the district, and she could wash fine lace without ruining it; thus often she came to sew and remained to wash.
