Northern Textile Town, Keighley, 1851-81 BEFORE THEIR TIME EMPLOYMENT AND FAMILY FORMATION IN A NORTHERN TEXTILE TOWN, KEIGHLEY, 1851-81 Submitted by Eilidh MacGillivray Garrett for the degree of Ph. D. Department of Geography, University of Sheffield September 1986. Abstract This thesis studies the phenomenon of low fertility amongst mid- to late- nineteenth century textile workers by examining fertility behaviour in the context of one contemporary textile town; the worsted centre of Keighley, in Yorkshire's West Riding. The high level of women's work, both before and after marriage, to be found in the textile districts has long been said to lie behind the low levels of fertility there. Using the census enumerators' books returned for Keighley in 1851,1861,1871 and 1881 the fertility levels and patterns of various occupational and class groups were calculated in order to assess the effects of the town's high level of female employment on its inhabitants' marital fertility. The measures used, however, are shown to give a distorted impression of fertility behaviour due to the point-in-time nature of the census data. With the aid of a computer Nominal Record Linkage was undertaken to gain a clearer picture of the family building strategies of different individuals, and various groups, over time. The patterns which emerge from the two types of analysis suggest that women in Keighley could, or would, not work when they had several children. They further suggest that the low fertility levels in the town during the early years of the study period were the result of younger married women not achieving a normal fertility potential, rather than older women limiting the number of their children in a parity specific way, which became an increasingly common practice by the 1880s. A debate is conducted as to whether the lack of fertility amongst young married women was deliberate in order that they might elongate their work-span, or whether it was the result of long years of work having adverse consequences for the female textile workers' reproductive systems. Acknowledgments It was once remarked that when this thesis eventually arrived in a library it would be catalogued under "GARRETr, E. M. (ed. )". I hope the finished product disproves this forecast but nevertheless many people have contributed to the finished product in their own special ways and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all. Special thanks are due, however, to the following: - the ESRC for their award which allowed the project to be undertaken. helPedand - all the librarians and archivists who directed me through their stores of local history records, especially Mr I. Dewhirst of the Reference Section, Keighley Public Library for his help and encouragement as well as his permission to reproduce some of his collection of photographs of Old Keighley. - the Data Processing team, the Computer Services Department, University of Sheffield who began to dread my weekly appearance with yet more census data but never failed to supply me with more boxes than I could carry of accurately punched cards in return. - the several advisers from the Computing Services Department who dealt with my computing queries over the years with particular thanks going to Richard Brown whose programming expertise and understanding of verbal, rather than numerical, problems were invaluable to the study. - all my contemporaries on F-floor who provided support, advice and encouragement when needed, but could also be relied on to create diversions which would put work back into its proper perspective again. - Andrew Hinde for taking the time to pass on much of his demographic knowledge and for the use of his FERTILITY programme, both of which were much appreciated. - Araya Redda for his guidance through the intricacies of the PRIME computer. - Stewart and Lyn Kemp for fitting me into their household. - Charles Pattie for acting as a sounding board for ideas and arguments. - My Mum and Dad for their concern and support and for their assistance in producing the finished product. - Mrs Ruby Heath who turned a much-tippexed, dog-eared, scrawl of a manuscript into an immaculate typescript. - the SCELI team at the University of Aberdeen. - Dr. Paul White, my second supervisor, for his help and encouragement and his belief in the humanistic aspects of the study, which acted as a great antidote to the sea of numbers in which I sometimes found myself immersed. Finally, and most especially, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Bob Woods for his guidance and enthusiasm. Without his "terrier tactics" the preparation of this thesis would have been considerably protracted, and without his patience and good humour my years at Sheffield would not have been as enjoyable as they were. i Contents paw List Tables of v List of Figures Xiv Chapter 1.

Rosenbloom NBER Working Paper No. 9182 September 2002 JEL No. N6, N4 ABSTRACT During the first half of the nineteenth century the United States emerged as a major producer of cotton textiles. This paper argues that the expansion of domestic textile production is best understood as a path-dependent process that was initiated by the protection provided by the Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812. This initial period of protection ended abruptly in 1815 with the conclusion of the war and the resumption of British imports, but the political climate had been irreversibly changed by the temporary expansion of the industry.

On the plus side, we continued to provide healthcare of the highest quality for our local population. This was recognised by the award of three stars - the highest available score - in the national NHS performance ratings in July 2003 (based upon 2002/03 performance) and by outstanding attainments in the latest survey of NHS Trusts carried out by ‘Dr Foster’, an independent health research organisation, which looks particularly at the quality of services provided. Airedale has retained its position as the best performing Trust in the Northern & Yorkshire region, it was again in the top ten nationally, and it was the best in the country in terms of patient satisfaction. And all this was achieved with clinical staffing levels (doctors and nurses) that are amongst the lowest in the country. On the minus side, the Trust failed to achieve financial balance in 2003/04. This came as no surprise to the Trust Board because we have had an underlying recurrent deficit for the last few years.

Introduction Since several thousand years ago, humans have been manufacturing linen, wool, cotton, and silk to be used as fibrous materials for clothing. In 繊維 (sen’i ), which is the word for “fiber,” the Chinese character 繊 (sen ) is a unit for decimal fractions of one ten-millionth (equal to approximately 30 Ǻ), while 維 (i) means “long and thin.” Usually, fibers are several dozen µ thick, and can range from around one centimeter long to nigh infinite length. All natural materials, with the exception of raw silk, are between several to several dozen centimeters long and are categorized as staple fibers. Most synthetic fibers are spun into filaments. Figure 1 shows how a variety of textile product forms are interrelated. Short fibers are spun into cotton (spun) yarns, whereas filaments are used just as they are, or as textured yarns by being twisted or stretched. Fabric cloths that are processed into two-dimensional forms using cotton (spun) yarns and filament yarns include woven fabrics, knit fabrics, nets, and laces. Non-woven fabrics are another type of two-dimensional form, in which staple fibers and filaments are directly processed into cloths without being twisted into yarns. Yet another two-dimensional form is that of films, which are not fiber products and are made from synthetic materials. Three-dimensional fabrics and braids are categorized as three-dimensional forms. This paper discusses spinning, or the process of making staple fibers into yarns, and winding, which prepares fibers for weaving. One-dimensional Two-dimensional Three-dimensional Natural Staple fibers Spun yarns Woven fabrics Three-dimensional materials Filaments Filament yarns Knit fabrics fabrics Synthetic Nets Braids materials Laces Non-woven fabrics Films Fig.

    Keighley Community Led Local Development KEIGHLEY COMMUNITY LED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2017-2022 1. INTRODUCTION This Local Development Strategy (LDS) has been developed by the Keighley Community Led Local Development (CLLD) Local Action Group (LAG), and validated by businesses, residents and other stakeholders within the CLLD area. The LAG has agreed the overall vision for the CLLD area as: Keighley CLLD area, by 2022, will be an enterprising, aspirational and positive place, where: our people are personally accountable and able to develop resilience and self-esteem, increasing well-being; our businesses are innovative and productive, and supported to set up and grow; diversity is respected, understood and appreciated; there is connectivity, integration, networking, amongst businesses and residents; pathways are put into place to help us to upskill and ‘grow our own’; and encourage and support sustainable career progression; and the environment is clean, green and attractive. This strategy sets out the needs of the Keighley CLLD area and our proposed approach to investing £6m (£1.5m ESF, £1.5m ERDF, £2.1m Public resources and £0.9m private resources) to address these needs, capitalising on the strengths and opportunities in the area, whilst reducing the weaknesses and threats impacting on the economy, businesses and local population, thereby contributing to the achievement of the vision. 2. KEIGHLEY CLLD AREA The Keighley CLLD area is nine miles from Bradford City Centre and falls in the Bradford Metropolitan District Council local authority area, within Leeds City Region. Keighley is Bradford District’s largest town after the city centre. It became part of Bradford Metropolitan District in 1974.

  • Trade Directories
    Local Studies Collection Trade Directories Trade Directories From the late 18th century until the present day, directories form a valuable source of local information. The amount of information contained varies according to the date and compiler. Early directories may contain: i) A general account of the district, usually with population statistics ii) Details of local government iii) Alphabetical list of streets iv) Alphabetical list of residents, though not comprehensive v) Classified trades section Directories published after about 1880, and particularly the 'Post Office Directories', are much more detailed, and in addition to the features listed above usually include: i) Advertisements for local firms ii) Political information about the district iii) Churches and chapels, including date of opening iv) Local Societies v) Clubs, theatres, libraries, cemeteries vi) Railways and local transport services vii) Brief accounts of surrounding village A map was usually included with the directories. These have been taken out, and are filed in the map collection. After the Second World War, many firms ceased to produce local directories, due to the difficulty of keeping information up-to-date. In the post-war period, the Barrett directories began to appear, and from 1981, Thomson’s directories can be a useful source of information. However these directories are not as detailed as earlier ones. Telephone directories from 1935 supplement Barretts and Thomsons. Some specialist textile directories are also held such as ‘Bradford Exchange Co. Ltd.’ 1916-1975, ‘Skinners Wool Trade’ and ‘Worrall’s Yorkshire Textile Director’ 1910-1971. Directories are for Reference Only. Please ask the staff if you cannot see the one that you want on the shelves.
