15 May 1830 - 'Call on Rothwel (Huskisson):' - where Huskisson probably features as a topic of coversation 15 September 1830 - when Godwin records Huskisson's death - although not the manner: Huskisson was the first fatality of the railway, having fallen in the path of The Rocket during the opening of the Liverpool-Manchester line.
