19016658Hartlepool; F W Mason 1901. Undated circa 1901. Poster approximately 77 cm x 51 cm. Single sheet with bold titles and underlining. Creases from folding and a little surface soiling; several small nicks to edge and 2 cm tear central upper edge with associated creasing and very minor loss. The main text is a series of questions posed at working class readers beginning with "Why should you be treated as if you are social outcasts". The background to the questions is the Intoxication Liquor Act of 1901 to limit Sunday opening of pubs and restrict their other opening times stated to be "an insult to every labouring man" and a "tyranny of the worst kind" as it would penalise those on small incomes unable to store supplies of alcohol in a cellar. The Bill was principally intended to prevent overly intoxicated working men from sending their children to the pub to buy them more drink. The poster encourages readers to oppose the Bill and sign a petition against it. Large ephemeral and unsurprisingly unrecorded. Hartlepool; F W Mason, unknown

19086655Hartlepool; F W Mason Printer 1908. 1908. Poster approximately 76 cm x 51 cm. Single sheet with titles printed in bold and underlined. Creased from folding with a few nicks to edge and some inky finger-marks otherwise in Very Good condition. The main text takes the form of a conversation between two working class drinkers Joe and Bill giving their clear reasons why pubs should be open for reasonably long hours during the week and on Sundays and exhorting the reader to sign the petition for MPs asking them to vote against the Bill. The proposal to limit Sunday opening times was one of a long series throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with this poster almost certainly referring to the Licencing Bill of 1908 which aimed to significantly curtail Sunday opening hours would have given local justices the power to enforce total Sunday closing. The Bill was aimed at curtailing drunkenness amongst the working classes although when Bill complains "then we are not to have the right to drink at the pub before 8 o'clock in the morning if we want one ever so badly" he rather sounds like a case in point. The Bill was strongly opposed by the general public and was ultimately voted down. Large ephemeral and unsurprisingly unrecorded. Hartlepool; F W Mason, Printer, 1908. unknown
