Songs such as this would have been distributed throughout the town in order to advertise particular shops and businesses, much like television adverts of today.A note in the hand of John Bell reveals that the saddler T. Robson, was infact one John Robson who died at Morpeth on 5th August, 1838.This song is part of the John Bell Collection. ; A collection of broadsheets on various subjects, with accompanying press cuttings and manuscript notes in the hand of John Bell. | Publisher: | Thompson and Hutchinson Fleshmarket, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear | Rights holder: | rights holder : Newcastle University | Subjects: | shopping and trade shops & saddlers & trades | Temporal: | start=1801;end=1840; | Source: | Folk Archive Resource North East | Identifier: | farne:N0118901 | Go to resource |
