Stories don’t always have to be about kings and generals. Sometimes the most powerful stories belong to the people history almost forgot.
That idea sits at the heart of Mind The Trams, created by Accrington author and songwriter Gabriel Undici. Set in and around Oswaldtwistle during 1939, the novel and its companion Songbook celebrate Lancashire’s mills, tramways, bakeries and close-knit communities at a time when war threatened to change everything.
Drawing inspiration from the everyday lives of Lancashire people, the songs explore themes of family, loyalty, kindness and resilience. Rather than focusing solely on wartime battles, Mind The Trams shines a light on the home front and the ordinary lives that carried on in extraordinary circumstances.
Alongside the novel, visitors can now discover original music, artwork and short promotional films inspired by the world of Mind The Trams.
For anyone with an interest in Lancashire history, historical fiction or original songwriting inspired by local heritage, the project offers a unique blend of storytelling and music.
