Northern Radical History Network conference

[Recently I came across the following details of a conference for a 'Northern Radical History Network' event, which raises the interesting ongoing question about 'socialist history' outside of London, and particularly 'up north', and its possibilities and potentialities. If anyone has info on other such events etc - or more info on the Northern Radical History Network (eg contact details) please get in touch or comment below. Thanks]
