Undated, circa 1844. Broadside approximately 32 x 24 cm, laid on to plain paper cut to size. Single sheet, titles in bold type with title underlined. Minor loss to corners (text unaffected) of broadside only; minor soiling and 4 cm split at central horizontal fold. Promotional sheet advertising the move of publican Martin Jude from the Three Tuns to the Sun Inn on the Side in Newcastle, a few doors below the printing office of Thomas Dodds, the Miners’ Advocate, with the aim of attracting like-minded pitmen to his premises. CJ Hunt states that “Dodds was the most important radical printer in Newcastle” who produced Chartist broadsides and the “Miners Advocate” in 1844 (his address was listed as Miners Advocate Office, 77, Side” on his printed material produced at that time). £120.00
