Through this, we will create a legacy of regeneration and local economic development. Success will see our heritage assets brought back to life and appreciated not only by local residents but existing and new visitors to the area. The starting point is the extensive historical network of waggonways and footpaths, they will be selectively repaired and new connections created in order to increase usage and access to a variety of existing and improved heritage features. This exciting programme of work includes the likes of Allensford Blast Furnace, Derwentcote Steel Furnace and Whinfield Beehive Coke Ovens - some of the earliest and most complete examples of the world-leading iron and steel industry –once integral to the area’s prosperity. The area is home to distinctive rivers and woodlands which will provide the backdrop for educating, engaging and training local residents – working closely with schools, local groups, partners and business. These skills will help to reinvigorate the tourist market through the promotion of activities such as walking and cycling – as well as cultural opportunities around poetry, music, art and dance. Raising the profile and promoting the Land of Oak & Iron is central to our approach. We have started to develop strategic partnerships with a network of businesses, sponsors, champions, and individuals who are passionate about our area and want to help us spread the word and champion our cause. These partnerships will help us to attract funding from Europe and other sources supporting the creation of new enterprises and business opportunities. A new Gateway Heritage Centre will be one of our flagship projects showcasing the distinctiveness of the Land of Oak & Iron. Working collaboratively and instigating innovation is at the heart of our approach with the ultimate ambition to create a self-sustaining entity for the Land of Oak & Iron to continue this work once HLF funding has come to an end. John Rundle Chairman Land of Oak & Iron The Land of Oak & Iron Landscape Conservation Action Plan (LCAP) Part 1 Executive Summary —Something for Everyone Executive Summary —Something for Everyone 7 Land of Oak & Iron –Something for Everyone The Land of Oak & Iron Landscape Partnership Celebrating Heritage ­ Creating Opportunities The Land of Oak & Iron Landscape Partnership; working with local communities to celebrate, conserve and enhance our natural, industrial and cultural heritage. The area stretches from the Derwent Reservoir to the River Tyne. Together the partners will deliver a legacy of job creation, tourism, regeneration and economic benefits. Map 1: Land of Oak & Iron Underpinned by the wealth of minerals, abundance of woodlands, water power from the River Derwent, and infrastructure from waggonways and railways, the Land of Oak & Iron was once home to a variety of innovative industries including world leading iron and steel making. Spanning the 16th -20th centuries this produced a landscape rich in natural, industrial and cultural heritage. The industrial developments attracted significant wealth, large settlements and the development of a vibrant dance, music and literary scene. Today there are some nationally and globally significant remains of the industry, a distinctive natural landscape and fascinating culture, but it is a landscape and heritage that is at risk of loss. The Land of Oak & Iron Landscape Conservation Action Plan (LCAP) Part 1 Executive Summary —Something for Everyone 8 To achieve our vision the Partnership will deliver a £3.4 million programme with 14 interlinked projects from 2016- 2020, that will create opportunities for the long term sustainability of its heritage, people and communities. Projects will be delivered around 3 themes of: Investing in Heritage - Rediscovering Lost Landscapes - identifying, enhancing and managing the little known natural and industrial heritage Investing in People – Forging a Stronger Future from the Past - investing in people to develop skills, learn about the heritage and volunteer time Investing in Communities - Creating a legacy – improving access to and interpretation of the heritage, expanding engagement and ownership, whilst promoting the area as a place to live, work and visit. The Land of Oak & Iron Landscape Conservation Action Plan (LCAP) Part 1 Executive Summary —Our projects 9 This diagram provides an overview of the 14 interconnected projects that will be delivered as part of the Land of Oak & Iron Landscape Partner- ship. The projects have been aligned to each of our 3 themes, but the projects will not be delivered ‘in silos’, instead they will add value to each other cross cutting the individual themes.

Community Grants - Enabling more people to engage through funding for community driven projects The Land of Oak & Iron Landscape Conservation Action Plan (LCAP) Part 1 1 Introduction Introduction 11 1 Introduction The Land of Oak & Iron Landscape Partnership was established in 2013 when a number of public, private and third sector organisations came together to seek investment in the conservation, enhancement and celebration of this exciting area. After a successful Round 1 Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) bid towards the end of 2013, the Partnership has evolved and now has a clear vision of what it will achieve by 2020. Landscape Partnerships are HLF and partnership funded schemes that contribute to the heritage conservation of distinctive landscapes, creating a complete and balanced approach to their management at a landscape-scale. This ethos has provided a strong base for the Land of Oak & Iron Landscape Partnership to build upon in the establishment of our vision, production of this Landscape Character Action Plan (LCAP) and planning for our long- term sustainability. The LCAP is a ‘manifesto’ for the Land of Oak & Iron. It presents the Partnership’s shared vision to celebrate heritage and create

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.

  • Slave Trade and Slavery
    Remembering Slavery Slave trade, slavery and abolition: the north east of England connections By John Charlton 2. Introduction It is two hundred years since Parliament ended British involvement in the slave trade. As part of the national commemoration of this important moment in history, a group of local archives and libraries in the north east established a project to search their collections for material connected to the slave trade, slavery and the movements for abolition. The Remembering Slavery 2007 Archive Mapping and Research Project led by the Literary & Philosophical Society (Lit & Phil) appointed Sean Creighton as Project Officer. Sean assembled a group of volunteers to search the collections. This brief guide indicates the areas covered and summarises the fully referenced guide or resource pack which will be lodged at the four participating institutions. In addition to this, Hidden Chains: the Slavery Business and North East England by John Charlton will be published by Tyne Bridge Publishing in Autumn 2008 ISBN 9781857951233; for further details, see www.tynebridgepublishing.co.uk.

Covering 70 square miles of the beautiful and historic Derwent Valley and its surroundings, this is one of the north east’s most rewarding areas to explore. But the Derwent Valley hasn’t always been the tranquil place you’ll find today. It was a cradle of the Industrial Revolution, with a booming iron and steel industry that lasted from the 1690s right up until the 1980s. You’ll find the legacy of metalworking throughout the Land of Oak & Iron. Industry left its mark on the landscape, with forges and furnaces. It also shaped local communities, influencing traditions such as rapper dancing and the writings of ommyT Armstrong, the pitman poet. Nowadays the old industries have fallen silent. Nature is reclaiming the valley, creating a rich patchwork of woodlands, riverbanks and grasslands. These habitats support a wide range of species such as otters, kingfishers and red kites, which are making a comeback.

I came across the typescript for this history among my father's papers shortly after he died in 1991. It appears to have been written initially around 1978 and then rewritten and rearranged several times before being abandoned. As a result, I had quite a confusing collection of papers. Some chapters existed in several quite different versions without any indication as to which was the latest one. There were also apparent gaps where a page didn't logically follow from any other extant page or didn't have an obvious successor. I have attempted to arrange the material in a coherent way and to make good the gaps as best I could to bring the work to a form I think my father would have approved of. I've also updated the material to some extent to reflect some of the changes that have occurred since 1978. Brian Pears, Low Fell, 2010. High Spen and District. Page 2. 1. Introduction. I started to write a history of Methodism in Spen, but as this touched on so many other aspects of village life, I decided to make it a more general history of the place. Then it became obvious that it would be difficult not to include Victoria Garesfield too because its mine workings reached under the Spen, and many of the workers at that colliery lived there.
