Edwin Waugh

Edwin Waugh (1817 - 1890), poet, son of a shoemaker, was born at Rochdale and, after a little schooling, apprenticed to a printer.

Waugh read eagerly, and became assistant secretary to the Lancashire Public School Association. He first attracted attention by his sketches of Lancashire life and character in the "Manchester Examiner". He wrote also in prose "Factory Folk", "Besom Ben Stories", and "The Chimney Corner". His best work was, perhaps, his Lancashire dialect songs, collected as "Poems and Songs" (1859), which brought him great local fame. He was possessed of considerable literary gift, and has been called "the Lancashire Burns." Waugh's Well was built in 1866 to commemorate him at the now derelict Fo' Farm, where he spent much time writing, on the moors above Waterfoot, Rossendale.
