Robert Isherwood was a miner's agent, local councillor and the first treasurer of the Lancashire and Cheshire Miners' Federation. Robert Isherwood was the son of a handloom weaver in Tyldesley. He started pit work at the age of nine. In 1867 Isherwood acted as the local secretary in an industrial dispute and 19-week strike that ended with victory for the miners. With savings from his earnings, he set up in business as a building contractor and grocer but did not sever his links with the miners.
