  • Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
    Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access). Elsewhere, the ODNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References Chapter 1 1. This view underlies the Cycle of Deprivation Studies which were set up jointly between the Department of Health and Social Services and the Social Sciences Research Council, encouraged by the Secretary of State for social services, Sir Keith Joseph, in 1972. 2. This view underlies the Six Towns Studies set up by the Department of the Environment in 1973 and the Comprehensive Community Programmes set up by the Home Office in 1974. 3. This is the standard pluralist view underlying most liberal academic treatments of the poverty 'problem'. 4. With Liverpool, the Coventry Community Development Project was the first of the twelve Community Development Projects set up by the Home Office from 1969. The Coventry project submitted its final report, which contained a summary of the Coventry Industry - Hillfields study, in March 1975. 5. The Marxian critique of neo-classical economic theory is now well known. As it does not add to the analysis developed in this book it will not be repeated here. Those interested may look at Rowthorn [1974] or Hollis and Nell [1975] for recent contributions to that critique. 6. For an interesting explanation of this lack of concreteness in most Marxist analysis during the past fifty years, see Anderson, [1976]. Chapter 2 1. 'In broad outline, the Asiatic, ancient, feudal and modern bourgeois [capitalist] modes of production may be designated as epochs marking progress in the economic development of society.' (A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, p. 21.) Note that all Marx's writings will be cited by title alone, rather than author and date of publication as for other writers.

    Founded 1967 There have definitely been a few silent nights for the club this year but, hopefully, we will be back to Hark the Herald by spring. Newsletter of the Traditional Car Club of Doncaster December 2020/January 2021 Email special due to Covid 19 virus 1 Editorial Hello again, I hope that I find you all safe and well, even if a bit restricted. The review of this last year won’t take long, I’ve not done much or been anywhere much but am still here so it’s not all bad. If the vaccine roll out works better than some other things, the prediction is some return to ‘normal’ by East- er. Must admit that I see a conflict between normal and our club but I know what they mean. Spring is the time that we really start to get going with Breakfast meetings, Drive it day and show plan- ning can really pick up so we may be back in full flow at our usual time, we will see. A reminder that the committee is proposing to carry over subs to 2021 as we were effectively shut for most of this year. We have found a way to carry on with Tradsheet and our members only Facebook page has kept us informed and entertained. The website has been running throughout and has visitors from all over the world looking to see what we are up to. In that respect, we have carried on as best we can and have fared better than some clubs that have all but disappeared for the time being.

  • Rupert Clark - Chairman & Treasurer Peter Cole - Secretary
    MINUTES OF THE 66th MEETING OF AYNHO HISTORY SOCIETY HELD AT AYNHO VILLAGE HALL ON WEDNESDAY 26th MARCH Present: - Rupert Clark - Chairman & Treasurer Peter Cole - Secretary. 1. Chairman and Treasurer's Report Rupert Clark The Parish Council was approached by a TV company to investigate the tradition that Aynho residents had at one time paid part of their rent in apricots. With help from other members of the village Rupert has found no factual evidence to substantiate the legend. Peter confirmed that he too had tried to find any link in the Cartwright Archive with apricots but had failed to discover anything. Nonetheless it is beyond doubt that the Cartwrights introduced the trees but we don’t know which generation. 2. Secretary's Report Peter Cole Peter gave details of Eydon Historical Research Group’s latest Report, entitled "Lest we Forget", telling the stories from Eydon in the Great War. 3. “Lord Nuffield and Morris Motors of Cowley Mr Bob Harris Mr Bob Harris William Morris was a “one-off” “, an extraordinary self-taught engineer and a generous philanthropist. Born on 10th October 1877 he left school at age 15. He was good at mechanical things, and started off as an apprentice repairing bicycles. After a year he felt he was worth more than he was being paid, but his boss refused to give him a raise, so he left. With £4 capital provided from his family, he set up his own repair business. He met a Revd. Dodgson, a very tall man for whom he made a bespoke bicycle.

  • Vintage Motorcycle Club Newsletter Kickstart 2016 11
    A monthly publication of The Vintage Motorcycle Club Johannesburg, South Africa. Volume 31. No 11. November 2016 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE: Motorcycling is a pastime full of variation. Since the inception of a motorised two wheeler, anyone wanting to be part of a world in which you aren’t cossetted in a cocoon of steel and glass opted for the open road on a motorcycle. This gave rise to various interesting characters that frequent the annals of motorcycle history. From the Tourer, to the Sportster, Stunt rider and more recently the Adventure rider (read Martin Davis) our brothers and sisters take to the roads, tracks and countryside on all forms of two or three wheeled moped. Our own society and movement has a very specific bond with motorcycling and the older, the better. However as we age, we need to inject newer blood into our movement to keep it going. This predicament isn’t unique to VMC as all hobbies and pastimes are struggling to keep their “induction ports” above water these days. It is essential to bring younger enthusiasts to our gatherings, both to introduce new blood and get the generation who inherited their parent’s motorcycles to bring them into the fold. Your ideas on how we can do this will be most welcome; also getting together from a social perspective and riding more as a club can make our movement more visible. In this regard, the committee will plan regular club rides, over and above the main Regularity and Commemorative events, while encouraging all members to get out there and “exercise the steeds”.
