In September 1896, members of the Bolton Socialist Club helped to organise a massive 10,000 strong trespass march over Winter Hill in protest against the closure of the path across what Colonel Ainsworth claimed as his Grouse-moor.
Five thousand song sheets were printed, containing a song by Bolton socialist poet, Allen Clarke, titled "Will you come o Sunday mornin'?"
A hundred years later the club would celebrate this historic event.
