Many thanks again to Frances Clifford for sending me more information on her great-grandfather William Hoyle, the temperance crusader, along with two probably unpublished photos (recently, that is), the first being from Vol. IV of Onward: The Organ of the Lancashire and Cheshire Band of Hope Union monthly magazines (1868-69): by then, 65 Bands of Hope had been established, influencing about 20,00 young people; the second photo is from Hoyle's Daisy Ballads and Recitations (1891).
An interesting piece of information which has come to light is that the Bennett Street Sunday School William Hoyle attended is where L.S.Lowry's parents went, and where Lowry's mother was organist. In M.W. Lees' Bennett Street Sunday School 1801-1966 - A Manchester History (2013), the author notes the importance of the school to the people in Manchester's inner city area New Cross. This is where Lowry's parents met, and Lowry's mother Elizabeth studied at the school and went on to teach music and give her son his religious and moral background which would have such a strong effect on him.
