Subscribers to the Chartist Co operative Land Society.

The Chartists were an organisation whose aim was to help the working man. At it's most basic, the Land Co-operative was a saving scheme whereby one would save £2-10/- and then be enetered into a lottery for a plot of country land to escape the industrial heartlands of Lancashire.
