Charles Rowley (socialist)

Charles Rowley (socialist)

Charles Rowley (1839–1933) was a socialist and councillor of Ancoats.

He was inspired by William Morris, and a leading member of the Ancoats Brotherhood. Amongst his other associates was the poet Mathilde Blind.[1][2] In addition to founding public exhibitions and flower shows, he initiated concerts given at the city's parks; this work is amongst the earliest examples of orchestral concerts given for the public's benefit.[2]
