Female Drunkenness in Mid-Victorian Lancashire ‘The worst of drunkards’: female drunkenness in mid-Victorian Lancashire Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Craig Naden Stafford. September 2018 Abstract Craig Naden Stafford ‘The worst of drunkards’: female drunkenness in mid-Victorian Lancashire Historical research on Victorian female drunkenness has focussed, almost overwhelmingly, on the effects of the habitual drunkards legislation of the last two decades of the nineteenth century. Furthermore, the women who comprised the prison population during Victoria’s reign have been under-researched. Drunkenness was the most common offence for which women were committed to prison and this thesis examines the lives of women incarcerated in Strangeways Prison, Manchester, between 1869 and 1875. This was a period of intense concern about drunkenness in general and female drunkenness in particular, with fierce debate over licensing legislation being held both in Parliament and the provinces. The objectives of the thesis were, firstly, to provide an overview of the licensing debates, policing and sentencing of female drunkenness in two Lancashire boroughs, Salford and Rochdale, combined with an examination of the life cycle of women committed to gaol. It explored the debates surrounding drunkenness at a parliamentary level and how these debates were reflected in social commentary in these boroughs. Secondly, the thesis explored local power dynamics in Salford and Rochdale and showed the impact that police policy and magisterial discretion had on the number of women prosecuted and imprisoned for the offence. It noted that working class women were targeted by the police and that the personal views of policemen and magistrates were instrumental in their drive against drunkenness. Finally, the thesis re-constructed the lived experience of incarcerated women, by examining their family lives, occupations and places of birth. It showed that vulnerability to imprisonment for drunkenness was the preserve of the marginal working class, especially migrants and women who were not part of a familial or neighbourhood support network. Additionally, poverty and poor living conditions were key features in the lives of imprisoned women.

  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council
    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

  • The Domesday Record of the Land Between Ribble and Mersey
    THE DOMESDAY RECORD OF THE LAND BETWEEN RIBBLK AND MERSEY. By Andrew E. P. Gray, M.A., F.S.A., RECTOR OK V.'AI.I.ASKV. (Read nt December, ,887.) REALLY critical edition of the I.ibfr de IVinloniii las A Domesday Hook is technically called] one which would bring the full resources of modern scholarship to hear upon all the points suggested by it, is still a desideratum, and, as Pro­ fessor Freeman says, it is an object which ought to be taken up as a national work. A considerable amount of Domesday litera­ ture has appeared since the royal order in 1767 for the publication of this amongst other records : but much remains to be done, for a great deal of that which has been given to the world on the subject is deficient in breadth of treatment and in accuracy of criticism. We in this part of the country are greatly indebted to Mr. Beamont for his Introduction and Notes to the photozinco- graphic facsimile of the Domesday Record of the two north­ western counties palatine. Mr. Beamont has been a member of this society almost ever since its foundation 40 years ago, and is one of whom the society is justly proud. It seems, indeed, rash for me to venture upon the subject which I have chosen, lest I should be supposed to be putting myself in competition with him, or setting myself up as a critic upon his Introduction ; but Dt 2 86 The Domesday Record of the I thought that perhaps we might be led over some new ground to-night, if we turned to the Domesday account of the land Inter Ripam et Afers/tani, and considered, firstly, the history of that territory, and then its hundreds, the townships mentioned, the landlords, and the churches.
