  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

Alison Plummer and Ken Moth are also acknowledged for invaluable contributions to Steering Group discussions. Particular thanks are offered to Darren Ratcliffe (Historic England), who fulfilled the role of Project Assurance Officer and provided considerable advice and guidance throughout the course of the project.

Firm-Level Evidence on the Adoption of Ring-Spinning. Federico Cilibertoy Department of Economics University of Virginia May 2010 Abstract I study the slow adoption of ring spinning in Great Britain’s cotton industry at the end of the 19th century, which has been used as evidence of British entrepreneurs’ declining e¢ciency and conservatism (Musson [1959], Aldcroft, [1964], Lazonick [1981, 1981b]). To this purpose I use …rm-level data from all of Lancashire’s cotton …rms over several years. The data are from Worrall’s The Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers’ Directory for the years 1885, 1886-1887, 1890, 1894, 1902, and 1910. First, I show that the vertical organization of the industry, with its …rms specializing in spin- ning or weaving, did not act as an impediment to the adoption of the ring spinning technology, as was argued by Lazonick. In particular, I show the following: i) non-integrated …rms were the …rst to adopt rings in Great Britain; ii) the large majority of …rms that adopted rings were incumbents; iii) vertically integrated …rms that were spinning only either twist or weft yarn were still in existence in 1910; and iv) only a negligible number of …rms changed their organizational structure upon adopting ring spinning. I also show that a large fraction of …rms installed very small numbers of ring spindles upon the adoption of ring spinning, suggesting that …rms were slowly adopting ring spindles to replace old mule spindles rather than transitioning over to ring spinning at a single point in time.

  • In the Nineteenth Century, As a Result of Continuous Improvements Made To
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF WEAVING USING AUTOMATIC LOOMS B. POURDEYHIMI, K.C.JACKSON AND K. HEPWORTH 1.1 Introduction. In the nineteenth century, as a result of continuous improvements made to power looms, the necessity for close attention was so reduced that eventually one weaver was able to supervise up to four or six looms. The weaver's work mainly consisted of replenishing the shuttle with weft and repairing warp and weft breaks. Each of these tasks involved a stoppage of the loom. However, if good quality yarns were used, the frequency of warp and weft breaks was comparatively low. Thus, it may be said that the output of the loom depended chiefly upon the frequency of stoppages due to the exhaustion of the weft, a frequency which, of course, depended upon the carrying capacity of the shuttle. This capacity was limited by considerations of shuttle size and weight. When these limits were reached, the number of stoppages due to weft exhaustion still remained considerable. It is, therefore, not at all surprising to find that from an early period in the history of power looms, attempts were made to obviate such and thereby increase both the productivity of the loom and the number of looms allocated to each weaver. These attempts were made along three distinct lines, namely (i) the automatic removal of an exhausted shuttle and the substitution of a loaded one, (ii) the provision of a continuous supply of weft from a stationary weft package by using grippers, etc. instead of shuttles, and (iii) the automatic ejection of a spent spool or cop holder from the shuttle and the substitution of a full one.

Toms University of Nottingham Industrial history is necessarily concerned with economic growth and decline. Lancashire Cotton textiles provides a classic case study of these processes. From being the vanguard sector of the industrial revolution in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the industry fell into rapid and terminal decline in the twentieth. Determinants of growth and decline, such as industry structure, profitability, capital accumulation and technological choice have been addressed in previous studies, although certain variables have enjoyed more attention than others.1 The period 1870-1914 has been regarded by some as a time when Lancashire entrepreneurs made the mistakes that condemned the industry to its subsequent downfall.
