Edward Slow Edward Slow (1841 – 16 February 1925) was a poet born in Wilton, Wiltshire, England. By profession he was a carriage builder. He wrote many poems and tracts based on his everyday observations of contemporary Victorian and Edwardian rural life. The poems, or ‘rhymes’ as he preferred to call them, were written in a style that was intended to phonetically emulate the rural Wiltshire accent. ==Life== He was born the youngest of at least four siblings. His mother was a silk weaver in Wilton and his father died when Edward was 11 years old. He attended Wilton Free School and then obtained an apprenticeship with a Salisbury coach-builder and wheelwright. He later returned to Wilton where he set up his own carriage building business which he eventually sold in the 1890s. He then embarked on a 30 year retirement during which he involved himself in local politics and writing. He was Mayor of Wilton in 1892 and again in 1905.
