The project focuses on the effects in Scotland of the development of the new media of film and wireless. It addresses question as to what changes, over the first decades of the twentieth century, these two revolutionary forms of public technology effect on the established entertainment system in Scotland and on the Scottish experience of culture. The study presents a broad view of the cultural scene in Scotland over the period: discusses contemporary politics; considers established and new theatrical activity; examines the development of a film culture; and investigates the expansion of broadcast wireless and its influence on indigenous theatre.

This site has been allocated in the emerging Falkirk Local Development Plan for residential dwellings and possible care-home facility (site H73) – the exact date of allocation is to be confirmed. Discussions have been held with Falkirk Council and in principal they are supportive of a 90 bed care facility in addition to the residential dwellings. Whilst the number of residential dwellings has been estimated, Falkirk Council are amenable to an increase of circa. 45 units, subject to planning (see attached alternative design proposals on final two pages) SITUATION Standburn is located on the B825 and is reached via the Bowhouse Roundabout on the A801 which is the link road between the M9 and M8. The village is within easy reach of the M9 for Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Forth Road Bridge.

  • The Labour Party and Education for Socialism

    The Labour Party and Education for Socialism

    RODNEY BARKER THE LABOUR PARTY AND EDUCATION FOR SOCIALISM No socialist since Robert Owen has had any excuse for being unaware of the relationship between educational reform and social and political change, and a perception of this relationship was a feature of nineteenth century socialism and liberalism. The attention which the educational principles and policies of socialist, labour, and radical movements in Europe have recently received has thus been well deserved.1 The socialists have however come off better than those organisations which have been designated as merely "labour", and two valuable contri- butions to the literature dealing with Great Britain - Professor Simon's Education and the Labour Movement, 1870-1920, and Dr Reid's article on the Socialist Sunday Schools - are concerned with the programmes and beliefs of left wing socialist bodies, rather than with those of the ideologically more diffuse but politically more important Labour Party. Both these contributions may perhaps profitably be placed in a new perspective by an examination of the attitudes adopted within the Labour Party and within its industrial half-brother the Trades Union Congress, to the problems raised by the content and character, as opposed to the structure and organisation, of the education available to the working class. This education took two principal forms.

    Stirling County Building Warrants

    Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) FALKIRK ARCHIVES Local authority records Stirling County Council Building Warrants Finding Aid Administrative History The origins of building standards were in the Dean of Guild Courts of the medieval Royal Burghs. Their powers to hear offences against neighbourliness gradually evolved into modern planning and building control regulations. From 1862 Town Councils were permitted to set up Dean of Guild Courts and from 1892 all town councils were required to set up Dean of Guild Courts. The Dean of Guild Courts had powers to impose conditions relating to public health under the 1862 Police Act. County Councils had similar powers from 1889. Scope and Contents Building warrant files, building warrant application registers and annotated Ordnance Survey maps, for the geographical area formerly administered by Stirling County Council and now administered by Falkirk Council. Building warrant files contain the plans, petitions (ie applications), completions certificates, correspondence and related papers submitted to the local authority for permission to build or to make structural alterations to domestic and public buildings under successive building control and building standards legislation. The Registers provide a summary list of applications and their outcome. Arrangement Stirling County Council building warrants from c 1900-1964 were separated into geographical areas and this order has been maintained. The red area covers the south and east of the former County of Stirling, including Shieldhill, Polmont and the Braes. The yellow area covers the areas around Bonnybridge, Denny and Dunipace. The blue area covers Airth, Larbert and Stenhousemuir. However it should be noted that some building warrant files were put into the “wrong” colour-coded area and there has been no attempt to correct this.
