 The Sheffield Clarion Ramblers were founded in 1900 by G. H. B.Ward, a Labour politician; it is recognised as the first working class rambling club, and survived until 2015.On 27 June 1904, three weeks before the King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra opened Liverpool Cathedral, Jim Larkin and Fred Bower, workmen on the site, composed a message ""from the wage slaves employed on the erection of this cathedral"" to a future socialist society, and, along with a copy of the "Clarion" and the "Labour Leader", placed it in a biscuit tin deep inside the brickwork and covered it.
