Description: | Norman Nicholson (1914-1987) was a writer in the widest sense: he wrote novels, plays, short stories, topographies, criticism, essays, reviews and biographies. A strong sense of place permeated his writing, which was largely inspired by the landscape and industry of his native Millom, a small mining town in south-west Cumbria, where he lived for virtually all his life. The archive consists of 27 boxes containing literary manuscripts, typescripts and published material, letters, photographs, news cuttings and private documents. There are copies of his work; reviews; files on work in progress, dialect, local customs and social conditions, lake poets, legends and history; a large number of photographs of the author, the Lake District and other places Nicholson visited; there are also diaries from the latter part of Nicholson's life. (0.44 cubic metres); Handlists and catalogues are available for the papers of Horniman, Dean, Hunt, Joseph, Slade, Nicholson, Pettitt, Monkhouse, Montague, Thrale-Piozzi, North West Playwrights, Donat and "Manchester Guardian". Allardyce Nicholl Collection recorded on on-line catalogue of printed books.
