A box of broken dreams
Well, we all have a few of those. This one is rather nice . A vintage steel box, circa 1900 with very careful painting of name (W H Shaw) on the front. I used it to store my kindling in the Lorry.
Once owned by the artist whose sketches of working class people in Lancashire can be seen here:

or perhaps one of the boxes used by W H Shaw and Company who opened a coal mine in Blackburn. Read about them here:
or then, again, perhaps the paper storage box for WH Shaw’s office in the Huddersfield area, east of Oldham.
Decide which and tell the story… Like us, they all had broken dreams…
Broken dream not included, use your own…
