Billington, William (1827-84), ‘The Blackburn Poet’, born at Samlesbury, Lancashire, doffer (=worker involved in removing the full [cotton] bobbins or spindles, OED), ‘stripper and grinder’, then dandy-loom weaver, later a publican ~ ‘The Blackburn Poet’ was born at Samlesbury in the Ribble valley, Lancashire. At the time of his birth, William’s parents were unemployed handloom weavers, and found themselves working as road navvies. Following his father’s passing in 1832, William’s mother, Ann, had to support four of seven surviving children – two of whom were invalids – through handloom weaving, with sleep being a luxury. In the 1883 ‘Dedicatory Sonnet. To my two brothers, Joseph and James Billington’, William would refer back to when ‘a mother’s / Lone life was darkened, bravely battling for / Her orphaned children’s welfare… grim want… grown familiar’. ~ During the evenings that Billington assisted his mother, she would sing for him songs and satires composed by her brother, Robert Bolton. This influence, alongside the example of Richard Dugdale, ‘The Bard of Ribblesdale’ (qv) – whom he befriended in his youth – certainly helped bring out the poet in Billington. Having learnt to read and write at Catholic Sunday Schools, Billington lodged in his memory an abundance of lines from major English poets such as Chaucer and Wordsworth (Manchester Guardian. 19 June 1886). ~ Upon relocating to Blackburn around age 12, Billington spent his days in the factory and his nights at the Mechanics Institute - of which he was a founder member. An ‘insatiable autodidact’, he later taught grammar at a school in exchange for mathematics lessons, tendered his counsel to trade unions, toured the North and Midlands to disseminate his poems, regularly lectured on and debated political and religious matters – his initial reputation was that of a ‘public denier and assailant of… religious belief’ (Abram, 1894) — established a Mutual Improvement Society, and ran a beer-house on Bradshaw Street from 1875 — it was dubbed ‘Poet’s Corner’, on account of it functioning as a forum for Blackburn’s sizeable circle of dialect poets. ~ Many of the poems that would constitute Sheen and Shade: Lyrical Poems (1861) and Lancashire Songs, with other poems and sketches (1883) were featured in The Blackburn Evening Standard and The Blackburn Times. In the dedication to Thomas Clough in Sheen and Shade, Billington refers to the collection as ‘the scattered offspring of my vagrant muse… a motley, but not immoral group’. In the notes to ‘A Lancashire Garland’, Billington writes: ‘Why do I rhyme? Ask the wind why it blows. / Why do I rhyme? Ask the stars why they shine. / Ask the rain why it falls and the stream why it flows, / Ask the rich why they’re proud and the poor why they pine!’ ~ A staunch defender of the working-classes – deploring ‘men who mortgage / Their souls to serve Mammon, the god of the age!’ – Billington’s most widely celebrated poem is ‘Th’ Surat Weyver’, which was written during the Cotton Famine and sold 14,000 copies as a broadsheet. The embitterment is inescapable: ‘We’n left no stooan unturn’d, nod one, / Sin’t’ trade becoom so flat, / Bud new they’n browt us too id, mon, / They’n med us weyve Surat!’ ~ In his latter years, Billington produced an extensive series of essays for the Blackburn Standard on local authors, trade unionists and countryside. He succumbed to bronchitis and lung inflammation on 3 January 1884 (Hepburn 2002). With regard to tributes, in the poem ‘To the Memory of William Billington’, George Hull refers to him as ‘a master-mind’ and writes: ‘The Singer has departed; and no more / Is heard the voice, o strong and clear and sweet, / Cheering the crowds in factory and in street’. John Walker, in ‘Ode: On the Death of William Billington’, affirms: ‘Thou wert a part of me / As I of thee, / As “all are parts of one stupendous whole”’. Pub.

One of Binns’s poems is entitled ‘To the Magistrate Who Committeed Me to Prison under the Darlington Cattle Act for Addressing a Chartist meeting’ (Kovalev, 65).

Bloomfield himself wrote warmly and wittily to this ‘brother in leather’ on receiving his poetry volume from James Lackington in 1809: ‘“The Conflagration” is so truly full of fire that it allmost burns ones fingers to read it. Saragossa is a noble poem. You have got the right pig by the ear, go on; but choose your own themes, and let the master-tint of your mind have full play. I fear from your own hints in the work that you are not healthy. this makes the last page the more afflicting. I have much to say but will now only tender my hearty good wishes and congratulations. And am sincerely your friend and Brother in Leather’. Bloomfield’s fears were well-founded, as Blacket died of consumption the next year. Pub.
