  • Making the Most of Opportunity: the Economy of Makeshifts in the Early Modern North1
    8 Making the most of opportunity: the economy of makeshifts in the early modern north 1 Steven King The poor in England Making the most of opportunity Overview The introduction to this volume suggested that the old poor law has been subject to a positive historiographical makeover by some welfare historians. To commentators such as David Thomson and Martin Daunton, the old poor law was a flexible, increasingly humane (by design or simple loss of control) and frequently generous system which came to represent the central plank of the welfare strategies of many people by the opening decades of the nineteenth century.2 There is persuasive empirical support for this point of view, with various authors mining bland poor law account books to show that over the course of the long eighteenth century the poor law came to relieve more people (sometimes at more generous levels), to recognise relative poverty, to pay for a greater range of goods and services and to relieve people for longer, than had been the case before.3 In pioneering work linking family reconstitution evidence and poor law accounts, Richard Smith has clearly shown the development of more expensive pension strategies, the changing composition of relief lists and a widening of the services provided by the poor law from the late eighteenth century.4 Peter King has used pauper inventories from Essex to show that poor law authorities there were willing to recognise relative as well as absolute destitution, and to intervene to preserve the household possessions of those who faced sudden need.5 And Steve Hindle has analysed the vestry minutes, charity accounts and poor law book of Frampton in Lincolnshire to showSteven that, King - 9781526137869 Downloaded from manchesterhive.com at 10/02/2021 01:31:44PM via free access 228 Making the most of opportunity 229 at least for its settled poor, the community could demonstrate considerable paternalism to those in need.6 Of course, there were stark variations in local practice.

It is the duty of Local Authorities to designate such areas and to use planning powers to safeguard and enhance the special qualities of these areas within a framework of controlled and positive management of change. Designation automatically entails control over the demolition of unlisted buildings, strengthens controls over minor development and gives special protection to trees within an area.

  • A Short History of the Township of Rivington in the County of Lancaster
    ^|S4ii^^^Si^:liif:;ivills^'; THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CI)urcl) anil (grammar ^cl)ool BY WM. FERGUSSON IRVINE PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH 1904 57848^ ENGLISH LOCAL •r. •-a uj ^ PA PREFACE intention of this book is not to present the reader THEwith a dry archaeological account of the history of the township. The aim of the writer has been rather to put together a consecutive account of the descent of the Manor and the history of the Church, the old Nonconformist Chapel, and the Grammar School in a popular way, choosing in the main such incidents in the story of Rivington as illus- trate the manners and customs of our forefathers. To some people an account of this kind makes no appeal, but the writer ventures to hope that there are many who, while not attracted by the minutiae of antiquarian research, are sufficiently interested in a general way in the history of their neighbourhood to follow the story with pleasure. The idea of this book originated with Mr. W. H. Lever. When talking over the history of the countryside, Mr. Lever suggested that the scattered facts known about Rivington should be collected into a consecutive story, and this book is the outcome. It is hardly necessary to add how much the writer owes to Mr. Lever for the great interest he has taken in the work as it progressed, and for his constant encouragement and help, especially in giving full access to the Rivington charters and documents, many of which are dated as early as the thirteenth century.

  • The Rise of Bolton As an Important Engineering and Textile Town in Early 1800 England
    I. međunarodna konferencija u povodu 150. obljetnice tvornice torpeda u Rijeci i očuvanja riječke industrijske baštine 57 THE RISE OF BOLTON AS AN IMPORTANT ENGINEERING AND TEXTILE TOWN IN EARLY 1800 ENGLAND Denis O’Connor, Industrial Historian Bolton Lancashire, Great Britain INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Great Britain changed, in the 19th Century, from a rural economy to one based on coal and iron. In doing so it created conditions for British civil, textile and mechanical engineers, such as Robert Whitehead of Bolton, to rise to positions of eminence in their particular fields. Such men travelled across Europe, and laid, through the steam engine and railways, the foundations for many of the regions present day industries. EARLY TEXTILES AND BLEACHING. RISE OF LOCAI INDUSTRIES The origins of Bolton’s textile and engineering industry lie back in the 12th Century with the appointment of a Crown Quality Controller called an Ulnager. During the reign of Henry V111 an itinerant historian Leland observed that ‘Bolton - upon - Moore Market standeth by the cotton and coarse yarns - Diverse villages above Bolton do make Cotton’ and that ‘They burne at Bolton some canelle (coal) of which the Pitts be not far off’. Coal, combined with the many powerful streams of water from the moorlands, provided the basic elements for the textile industry to grow, the damp atmosphere conducive to good spinning of thread. In 1772 a Directory of Manchester (10-12 miles distant) was published, in this can be seen the extent of cloth making in an area of about 12 miles radius round Manchester, with 77 fustian makers (Flax warp and cotton or wool weft) attending the markets, 23 of whom were resident in Bolton.

  • Twists and Doubts in Search of the Origins of Our Entwistle Family by James Michael Fleming © 2020
    Twists and Doubts In search of the origins of our Entwistle family by James Michael Fleming © 2020 Introduction This research report outlines the outcomes from my research into the antecedents of my 5G- grandmother Betty Entwistle (1764-1831). I managed to trace her Entwistle ancestors back another three generations. Jim Fleming is a retired Customs Manager and lives on Sydney’s lower north shore. He began researching his family history in 1983 and has been a member of the Society of Australian Genealogists since then. Aside from genealogy he was enjoying travelling and singing baritone in two choirs - before COVID19 interrupted those activities, thus leaving more time for family history! Researching: Bowen, Flowerdew, Gardner, Gordon, Grady, Hanrahan, Jolliffe, Kemp, Kessey, Murphy, Poulton, Press and so many more!

  • THE POLITICS of WATER in EARLY and MID- VICTORIAN BRITAIN: the EXPERIENCE of BOLTON Water, Besides Its Employment As a Consumer
    THE POLITICS OF WATER IN EARLY AND MID- VICTORIAN BRITAIN: THE EXPERIENCE OF BOLTON John Hassan and Peter Tqylor I Water, besides its employment as a consumer good and industrial raw material, has several other, often conflicting uses, and its consumption generates environmental and public health benefits and costs which bear little relation to the private costs and values incurred in its provision. In the Victorian period, given the absence of a national water policy or overall co-ordinating agency, attempts to develop water resources frequently led to clashes between different interest groups. Two groups in particular were active in attempting to control water sources in this period the manufacturers and urban corporations. The former, using a stream as a source of power, or more commonly as a supply of water for use in the production process and as a convenient sink for the discharge of industrial waste, frequently found their interests colliding with those of local authorities wishing to impound the stream in order to supply drinking water. The physical and organizational structures which were created in the course of the water industry's growth, and the rush by individual groups to control resources would be conceptualized later as hydrologically inefficient and irrational.' K. Smith, Water m Britain: a study in applied hydrology and resource geography (London, 1972), pp. 128-9; E. Porter, Water management in England and Wales (Cambridge, 1978), pp. 24-34. 120 John Hassan and Peter Taylor Such outcomes can also be viewed from the economist's perspective as the predictable consequences of the application of a weak, arms-length regulatory regime to the exploitation of a natural resource exhibiting pronounced multiple- and conflicting-use and natural monopoly characteristics.- In particular two types of distortion arose in the course of the Victorian scramble for sources, recognized by contemporaries,3 if analysed and regretted more fully by later observers blessed with hindsight.
