Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

It was always deemed a privilege to be allowed access into the confines of a parlour, the chance to talk openly, perhaps even frankly of the business of the day or of some particular trouble that was vexing the local community. It was also a place where the women of the household could do what they did best in the grander houses of the period, that of being gracious in the art of listening, making sure the right stories were handed down and to be the real power behind the throne; in any household.
