The Early Bryologists of South West Yorkshire
THE EARLY BRYOLOGISTS OF SOUTH WEST YORKSHIRE by Tom Blockeel [Bulletin of the British Bryological Society, 38, 38-48 (July 1981)] This account brings together information which I have encountered during work on the bryology of South West Yorkshire (v.-c. 63). It lays no claim to originality, but is rather a collation of biographical data from disparate sources, and is presented here in the hope that it may be of interest to readers. I have confined myself largely to those botanists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who made significant contributions to the bryology of v.-c. 63. If there are any omissions or other deficiencies, I should be grateful to hear of them, and of any additional information which readers may have to hand. The Parish of Halifax has been a centre of bryological tradition for over two hundred years. It was there that there appeared, in 1775, the first contribution of substance to South Yorkshire bryology, in the form of an anonymous catalogue of plants published as an appendix to the Rev. J. Watson’s History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax. Traditionally, the catalogue was attributed to James Bolton (d. 1799) of Stannary, near Halifax, whose life was researched by Charles Crossland at the beginning of this century (Crump & Crossland, 1904; Crossland, 1908, 1910). Bolton was the author of fine illustrated botanical works, notably Filices Britannicae and the History of Fungusses growing about Halifax, the latter being the first British work exclusively devoted to fungi. However, his work extended beyond the purely botanical. Shortly after the completion of the History of Fungusses, which was dedicated to and sponsored by Henry, the sixth earl of Gainsborough, Bolton wrote to his friend John Ingham: ‘You must know, John, that I have been so long tilted between roses and toadstools, and back again from toadstools to roses, that I am wearied out with both for the present, and wish (by way of recreation only) to turn for awhile to some other page in the great volume. -

Abstract Around the late third millennium BC small cup-shaped vessels began to appear in burial contexts across the North of England where they were found to be associated with Early Bronze Age funerary practices. Known by the name of incense cups, accessory vessels or miniature cups, their true purpose has been elusive. This study comprises an investigation of cups from Northern England and finds the tradition to be heavily influenced by Beaker culture practices resulting in the earliest cups emulating some attributes of Beaker ceramics. The Northern English Cup assemblage defies the current perception that all Cups are perforated as 63% are not; fabrics are found to be locally sourced and not imported and a review of the typology finds a strong regional adherence to the Food Vessel and Collared Urn tradition. Association in the grave with larger Urns is not as common as once believed and Cups have been found as the solitary ceramic indicating that they were important in their own right. -

Florence Nightingale and Her Connection with Leeds
Florence Nightingale and her connection with Leeds In 2020 we celebrated the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth. On 25th of November, Stephanie Davies, Community Curator at Lotherton Hall kindly gave a very interesting Power Point presentation about Florence via Zoom to the u3a History group and we were joined by several members of the wider Garforth and Kippax u3a group. Some of the information provided is described below. The talk centred on Florence Nightingale’s connections to both Lotherton Hall and Leeds General Infirmary. The talk provided a fascinating example of how, in her post-Crimea years, Florence worked tirelessly with specialists in different fields to further her causes. The talk was accompanied by a wealth of vivid pictures illustrating everything from ward layouts to architectural details. Leeds General Infirmary was first created in 1767 as a place for the relief of the sick and injured poor in the Leeds parish. The first site was in a private house on Kirkgate. After four years the infirmary moved to a new site on Infirmary Street near City Square on the site of Aspire, previously the old Yorkshire Bank. It remained there until 1869. In 1862, Florence Nightingale was consulted on the building of a new hospital in Leeds by William Beckett Denison who was a banker and conservative MP. The architect appointed for the new Infirmary was George Gilbert Scott, the head of England’s largest architects. He was also the architect for St Pancras Hotel adjoining St Pancras Station and there are many similarities between the two gothic design buildings. -
