Patience Round's 100th birthday, surrounded by family
100 not out!
Aged 79, and after 67 years as a chainmaker, Mrs Patience Round, "laid down her hammer, and bravely defied her employers by joining the others, who demanded wages of 2½d an hour instead of 1½d an hour". (Daily Express, September 1st 1910)
