<p>In June 1937 Tom Harrisson wrote to his friend, artist Julian Trevelyan, asking him to join the Mass Observation team in Bolton:
<em>“We have a Scotch Materialist, a Tramp Recorder, a Harpo Marxist and a coalminer in the house at the moment … You must paint some Bolton chimneys; they are like saltmines without the savour … Bolton Art awaits you! You will enjoy it, I swear!”. .</em></p>
<p>Whilst in Blackpool Trevelyan also produced written observations with his then wife, Ursula. They were asked to record details of sexual activity on the beach at night, and pretended to be drunk as they stumbled amongst amorous couples under the pier. Despite Blackpool’s licentious reputation they found that night time activity was mostly <em>“of a very pure and innocent kind”</em>.
"Julian Trevelyan also joined Mass Observation’s return visit to Bolton in 1960"
