Synopsis
Personal diaries provide rare glimpses into those aspects of the past that are usually hidden from view. Elizabeth Lee grew up on Merseyside in the late nineteenth century. For ten years in the 1880s and 1890s she kept a diary which now provides both a personal portrait of her everyday life and a remarkable picture of life on Merseyside.
