  • The Leisure Identities of Rural Youth: Tradition, Change and Sense of Place in Lakeland, 1930 – Early 1950S. R. Andrew Phd
    The Leisure Identities of Rural Youth: Tradition, Change and Sense of Place in Lakeland, 1930 – early 1950s. R. Andrew PhD 2012 1 The Leisure Identities of Rural Youth: Tradition, Change and Sense of Place in Lakeland, 1930 – early 1950s. Rebecca Claire Andrew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Politics and Philosophy, Manchester Metropolitan University 2012 2 Abstract Rural young people have received scant attention in the existing historiography of youth, leisure and the countryside and this thesis redresses such neglect, by examining the leisure experiences of young workers in the rural locality of Lakeland, a region in the south- eastern corner of the Lake District, between 1930 and the early 1950s. The thesis challenges the urban emphases of existing historical studies of youth and focuses on a period which is also relatively overlooked in historical work, particularly in relation to the 1940s and early 1950s. It uses the leisure experiences of young countrymen and women across these years to explore the interplay between tradition and change, highlighting the extent to which young people’s leisure in the region was shaped by a lack of commercialism and a striking level of adult supervision. It identifies the complex ways in which young people in Lakeland mediated or even rejected the influence of popular culture and negotiated adult intervention in their leisure. It also reveals the central part that young people played in the maintenance of ‘traditional’ leisure activities, which has been overlooked and under-estimated, yet which played an important part in connecting young people to a strong sense of place identity throughout the period.

  • Cartmel's Smithies
    CARTMEL’s SMITHIES by Peter Roden L’Enclume, the now famous Michelin starred restaurant in Cavendish Street, Cartmel, took as its name the French translation of Anvil, the traditional tool of the blacksmiths who had earlier used the premises as their workshop. But how much do we know about the blacksmiths who worked there, and at another historic Smithy in Cartmel village, and their connections with blacksmiths at other Smithies in the surrounding area ? These notes started as an attempt to pull together the stories of Cartmel’s local blacksmiths, drawing on (1) data now available in the recently completed database of census records for this area, (2) some family history research on the families identified from the census records, and (3) some recent oral history interviews, recalling memories of those who worked in the Cavendish Street Smithy. Subsequently, several friends who saw earlier drafts have provided additional information. Pat Rowland and Barbara Copeland have provided a significant number of additional references and suggestions regarding the historic records, and John Batty, and his discussions with Richard Davis and Jonathan Wood, and Derek Birch, with whom I have discussed the draft, have all contributed additional information. The help from all of them in compiling this article is gratefully acknowledged. Historically, the Smithy in Cavendish Street was not the only Smithy in Cartmel. The first detailed Ordnance Survey map of the area in 1848 clearly shows another Smithy near Springfield House, on the corner of ‘Back Lane’, known by various other names subsequently, and an un-named street, now known as Priest Lane.
