This week a glimpse of the Victorian London that spawned the Dickens characters we came to know and love, and a visit to the little town that prides itself on being Ireland's capital of love. Memories - unheard 'til now of the suffragette movement - and of the Gresford Pit disaster. The sounds in a painting and the enduring appeal of good music and bad poetry .. Just some of the ingredients in this week's Pick of the Week with Liz Barclay.
