- **Event Name**: The Wainstall Waifs
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: A talk by Kim Pearson. From 1876 more than 250 young girls came from the depths of the Liverpool Workhouse to Wainstall's Mills, more than a thousand feet above Halifax, to find employment, friendships, love and a future.

This talk explores the context and the human story of this mass migration.

Kim Pearson describes herself as ‘born, bred and buttered’ in Halifax. Having lived for forty years in Wainstalls she felt a compulsion to know more about the story of these girls. This led to twenty years of research and an intimate knowledge of the girls that made them feel like family. Kim feels she is just a conduit for their real story.
