  100 years Ago November 23, 1907 A WELL-organised sale of work was held at the Mann Institute, Moreton, on Wednesday afternoon in aid of the organ fund at the Congregational Chapel. There is only about £20 more required, and it is hoped that the sale and concert, which was held in the evening, would pay it off. The sale of work was opened by Mrs R W Essex, the wife of the Member for the Division. A large number of people were present throughout the afternoon, and a good brisk business was done by those in charge of the stalls. In the evening a good programme was gone through and we are glad to know a very successful afternoon and evening was attained financially. read more
