Description: | c1890. This is a poster for Benjamin Hale Worrall ("The Practical Economist") for putting up as a candidate for Morley Town Council in local elections about 1890. Ben Worrall was a typical Victorian self-made man. He had made profit from the Alliance Hotel (which he rebuilt as the Queen's), from the Music Hall he started there, from Morley Market, from the sporting activities in Queens Park which he also built and from his trotting horses. Unfortunately after making it on to the Council he died in his early 50s in 1892.
