  • Time Travel Tuesday: in Times of Adversity Tuesday 19 May 2020
    Time Travel Tuesday: In Times of Adversity Tuesday 19 May 2020 Welcome to Time Travel Tuesday: In Times of Adversity – sharing our heritage from Bruce Castle Museum & Archive. Last Tuesday was International Nurses’ Day, when we looked at Florence Nightingale’s contribution to nursing and her focus on limiting the spread of infections and disease amongst the war wounded. In today’s post, we are taking a step further. With scientific, technological and societal developments, we will be looking briefly at how people responded locally when humankind has been faced with turbulent times of adversity, struggle and challenges in our community’s health, similar to what we are currently going through today with the pandemic crisis. We will travel back in time several centuries, to the 1500s – a time when the plague was rife. In the late 1500s, Sir Julius Caesar (1558 – 1636) lived at a mansion known as Mattyson’s on the Tottenham and Hornsey border, to the west of Tottenham Wood farm. He was the son of Caesar Aldemarle, the Venetian physician to both Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, and was known for his philanthropic deeds in helping the poor. On 6 September 1593, he wrote to Lady Compton of Bruce Castle, the Lady of the Manor of Tottenham. As Judge of the Admiralty Court, he asked whether her house could be used as a safe place away from the sickness in London. It was for the use in particular of a member of his office and his family to isolate at a safe distance in the countryside in Tottenham.

  • Our Postal Past. Martin Petrie
    HISTORIC ARGYLL 2012 Our Postal Past. by Martin Petrie, Kilninver. Some may have noticed that the red phone box at Kilninver has recently been repainted. Although the phone inside has gone, the landowner has ensured that the box itself remains in situ. Presently, I’ve been trying to gather some information for display inside the box. For those who don’t know, these iconic red boxes of Britain’s landscape were originally designed by Giles Gilbert Scotti and this K6 design was introduced to commemorate George V’s silver jubilee year 1935. Thousands like Kilninver’s were made at the Lion Foundry, Kirkintilloch. Although I’m unaware when the box arrived at Kilninver it came as a surprise to see it listed as a category B building dated 1989. These kiosks are often at the site of another iconic part of British life and society, the local Post office. Kilninver Telephone box and former post office. 49 HISTORIC ARGYLL 2012 The origins of the Royal Mail ultimately date back to Henry VIII and his appointment of the Master of the Posts in 1516. By 1635 Charles I opened up the post to the public whereby the recipient paid the postage. Later in 1657 during Cromwell’s Protectorate an act was passed to set the postage rates in England, Scotland and Ireland. In 1660 with the restoration of the monarchy, Charles II established the General Post Office and many of Cromwell’s acts were dropped. In 1680 a Penny Post appeared in London but became so successful the government took it over.

I u n d e r t o o k the inquiry of which this volume is the result, after reading the recent work of M. de Candolle,1 in which he analyses the salient events in the history of 200 scientific men who have lived during the two past centuries, deducing therefrom many curious conclusions which well repay the attention of thoughtful readers.

The object of that book 1 “ Histoire des Sciences et des Savants depuis deux Siecles.” Par Alphonse de Candolle. Corr. Inst. Acad. Sc. de Paris, &c.

  • Understanding the Reasons Behind the Failure of Wakefield's Systematic Colonization in South
    When Colonization Goes South: Understanding the Reasons Behind the Failure of Wakefield’s Systematic Colonization in South Australia Edwyna Harris Monash University Sumner La Croix* University of Hawai‘i 3 December 2018 Abstract Britain after the Napoleonic wars saw the rise of colonial reformers, such as Edward Wakefield, who had extensive influence on British colonial policy. A version of Wakefield’s “System of Colonization” became the basis for an 1834 Act of Parliament establishing the South Australia colony. We use extended versions of Robert Lucas’s 1990 model of a colonial economy to illustrate how Wakefield’s institutions were designed to work. Actual practice followed some of Wakefield’s principles to the letter, with revenues from SA land sales used to subsidize passage for more than 15,000 emigrants over the 1836-1840 period. Other principles, such as surveying land in advance of settlement and maintaining a sufficient price of land, were ignored. Initial problems stemming from delays in surveying and a dysfunctional division of executive authority slowed the economy’s development over its first three years and led to a financial crisis. These difficulties aside, we show that actual SA land institutions were more aligned with geographic and political conditions in SA than the ideal Wakefield institutions and that the SA colony thrived after it took measures to speed surveying and reform its system of divided executive authority.

  • Hazelwood School – a Catalyst for Reformatory Education?
    HAZELWOOD SCHOOL – A CATALYST FOR REFORMATORY EDUCATION? Daniel Wale Abstract Hazelwood School was established at the beginning of the nineteenth century, in Birmingham, by the Hill family. This paper argues that the ethos and unique practices adopted at the school by the Hills, together with their individual activities, which were influenced by a series of socially-minded individuals with whom they came into contact, can be seen as contributing to the choice of Birmingham as the location for the first national conference on the reform of juvenile criminals, held in 1851, and to the development of the reformatory and industrial schools that were later established to accommodate criminal children. Additionally, the efforts of successive generations of the Hill family, who continued to work to improve the treatment of neglected and criminal children, were so progressive that their influence extended beyond Victorian Britain. In 1851 Birmingham hosted the first national conference on the reform of juvenile criminals (Barnard, 1857, p.307). Later legislative changes eventually abolished the jailing of children but why did Birmingham host this first conference? My research into juvenile crime in Victorian Birmingham has led me to examine Hazelwood School as being a potential catalyst for both this and the subsequent development of reformatory education. Historians and educationalists have examined the school before, though only for its influence on mainstream education. The practical application of many of the subjects offered was noteworthy when compared to traditional teaching methods. Michael Sadler (1923, p.5) highlighted this and John Adamson (1930, pp.272-273) underlined the unusual diversity of its curriculum.
