    EDUCATION of POOR GIRLS in NORTH WEST ENGLAND C1780 to 1860: a STUDY of WARRINGTON and CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland

    EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND c1780 to 1860: A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire September 2005 EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND cll8Oto 1860 A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER ABSTRACT This study is an attempt to discover what provision there was in North West England in the early nineteenth century for the education of poor girls, using a comparative study of two towns, Warrington and Chester. The existing literature reviewed is quite extensive on the education of the poor generally but there is little that refers specifically to girls. Some of it was useful as background and provided a national framework. In order to describe the context for the study a brief account of early provision for the poor is included. A number of the schools existing in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries continued into the nineteenth and occasionally even into the twentieth centuries and their records became the source material for this study. The eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century were marked by fluctuating fortunes in education, and there was a flurry of activity to revive the schools in both towns in the early nineteenth century. The local archives in the Chester/Cheshire Record Office contain minute books, account books and visitors' books for the Chester Blue Girls' school, Sunday and Working schools, the latter consolidated into one girls' school in 1816, all covering much of the nineteenth century.

  • PDO) for the Proposed Local Development Plan (LDP)

    PDO) for the Proposed Local Development Plan (LDP)

    Dear Sir/Madam I am writing to provide my response and objection to the Preferred Development Options (PDO) for the proposed Local Development Plan (LDP). I appreciate and acknowledge the requirement for additional housing stock, especially in Warrington South. I can confirm that there weren’t many options available to me in my location of choice. As such, I support some additional (ideally more affordable) development in South Warrington where it is required on the existing safe-guarded land. However, the scale of the proposals (to develop a so-called Garden City of approximately 7,000 homes) and the plans to build the majority on the green-belt is not desirable. Outlined below are my concerns: TRAFFIC AND TRAVEL • Warrington South has good access to the motorways and the current proposals state that the additional housing in this location will be linked to this existing network. However, these motorways are normally very congested, especially at peak times. Have the relevant authorities been consulted to determine whether there is enough capacity to cope with such an increase in traffic (based on 7,000 additional homes it is likely that this would lead to an additional 24,000 AADT (annual average daily traffic))? Additionally, having used both junctions (M6 and M56) at peak times the local roads leading to the junctions are normally extremely busy at these times leading to long queues even before you access the motorways. These roads and junctions need to be considered to determine their ability to cope with additional traffic and what affect this will have on journey times for existing residents.

All Sport Insurance and Purple Travel have come on board as members of the newly-formed Rugby League Cares Business Club which aims to provide a wide range of services that help players, particularly in areas where the nature of their occupation can put them at a disadvantage. 2016 proved to be a challenging year for the charity as we continued to play an important role in assisting players successfully transitioning from the sport by awarding education and welfare grants. We enjoyed a very successful partnership with Rugby AM and the Jane Tomlinson Appeal on the Ride to Rio challenge; and we secured grants from Curious Minds and Cape UK to support club foundations to deliver some life-affi rming experiences for young people in their communities via a Cultural Welcome Partnership programme.
