  • EB42 a Short History of Findon and the Racehorse
    A short history of Findon and the racehorse 1 At the start of the 19C race meetings were held on the downland gallops below Blackpatch Hill at the western edge of Findon parish, the course being known as Michel Grove (an estate mainly in the neighbouring Clapham and Patching parishes). Later in the century race meetings were held on the gallops below West Hill at the south west end of Findon parish. In the 19C horse racing featured much more in ordinary rural life than it does today, as the horse was still vital to agricultural activities and local transport. Knowledge of race horses in training was wide and racing was keenly followed as a sport and an opportunity for social gatherings, Race meetings were also being held on the downs at Lewes at this time and on the downs at Goodwood and Brighton in Sussex which still hold meetings today, like Epsom, Ascot, Sandown and Lingfield in Surrey. Fontwell and Plumpton in Sussex still hold regular national hunt race meetings over hurdles and fences while the race meetings at Newbury in Berkshire and Cheltenham attract the highest quality national hunt horses. Around 1853-1854 Henry Padwick, a well known member of the Danebury ‘Confederacy’, a very successful group of individuals that sent out many ‘Classic’ winners from the racing stables at Danebury, near Stockbridge racecourse in Hampshire, built new brick and flint stables and a trainer’s house, at the top of Stable Lane, Findon on the site of a cottage and outbuildings which appear on the 1839 Tithe Map.

  • A History of the University of Manchester Since 1951
    Pullan2004jkt 10/2/03 2:43 PM Page 1 University ofManchester A history ofthe HIS IS THE SECOND VOLUME of a history of the University of Manchester since 1951. It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well. It also examines the controversies of the 1970s and 1980s over such issues as feminism, free speech, ethical investment, academic freedom and the quest for efficient management. The author draws on official records, staff and student newspapers, and personal interviews with people who experienced the University in very 1973–90 different ways. With its wide range of academic interests and large student population, the University of Manchester was the biggest unitary university in the country, and its history illustrates the problems faced by almost all British universities. The book will appeal to past and present staff of the University and its alumni, and to anyone interested in the debates surrounding higher with MicheleAbendstern Brian Pullan education in the late twentieth century. A history of the University of Manchester 1951–73 by Brian Pullan with Michele Abendstern is also available from Manchester University Press.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository The Early Courtship of Television and Sport: The Case of Cricket, 1938-56. Richard Haynes Journal of Sport History, Fall 2009, Volume 36, No. 3, 401 - 417. Abstract The televising of cricket in Britain began in the pioneering days of broadcasting during the inter- War period. In a contemporary context the relationship between television and sport is now so well ingrained that it is difficult to imagine one without the other, as the income from rights fees and the exposure of sponsors and advertisers through the small screen drives the professional sports economy. This article traces a specific narrative of the early coverage of Test and County Cricket in England. Based on archival evidence held by the MCC and the BBC the article outlines how the marriage of television and cricket as a spectator sport tentatively began in 1938 and 1939, and then developed more formally in the decade after the Second World War. The history of negotiations over access to cricket, first with the public service broadcaster the BBC, and subsequently by commercial television, known as Independent Television (ITV) from 1955, reveals the origins of rights fees to sport and how competition for exclusive coverage led to regulatory intervention to ensure fairness between broadcasters. The relationship between the MCC and the County cricket clubs is explored in the context of managing the balance between television as commercial opportunity and as a threat to attendance at matches. 1 The early courtship of television and sport: the case of cricket, 1938-56.

  • NILQ 62. FOREWORD.Qxd
    NILQ 70(1): 5–30 Whence and whither ‘modern medical law’? MARGARET BRAZIER * University of Manchester and JONATHAN MONTGOMERY ** University College London Abstract Academic study of law relating to healthcare has flourished in the UK. Yet our field of study is often seen as ‘new’, both as an ‘area of importance in legal practice and as an academic discipline’. We argue that practical engagement between English law and medicine has a long history, a history revealing that claims of historic deference from one learned profession (the law) to another (medicine) is a myth. We further contend that ‘medical law’ as an academic discipline also enjoys a history. We explore these histories by looking back to the late medieval and early modern eras, and then show that crucial developments in more recent history have been overlooked in the emphasis on medical law as ‘new’. An appreciation of whence ‘medical law’ is crucial to assessing how future directions for law and scholarship in relation to the regulation of health may develop – whither it may go. Keywords: medico-legal history; deference; regulation of health: future. Introduction n this paper – a first version of which was delivered by Margaret Brazier at the inspiring conference held to celebrate the inauguration of the University of Bristol’s Centre for IHealth, Law, and Society – we explore the past and speculate on the future of the relationship between English law and health. This paper derives from a series of conversations between the authors, conversations which may pose more questions than answers. In 2000, Andrew Grubb contended that what he and Ian Kennedy described as ‘medical law’ was ‘still a comparatively young subject’, and only late in the twentieth century had it emerged in English law ‘as a distinct subject, both as an area of importance in legal practice and as an academic discipline’.

    DERBY CHOICE JOURNAL 2018 39th Edition “The right to hope is the most powerful human motivation I know.” -- Aga Khan IV 1 “The door has closed forevermore, if indeed there ever was a door” - Bob Dylan, Forgetful Heart (2009) To lovers of the horse, the thoroughbred especially, the apotheosis of the sainted Secretariat came close to fulfilling an almost messianic expectation of perfection in that breed. His record setting conclusion to and mastery of the 1973 Triple Crown in that year’s Belmont Stakes produced acquiescing nods from the most indurate members of the racing community. Not even the late in decade advents of Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Alydar, and Spectacular Bid unsettled Big Red’s pedestal. But in 1980, a colt bred in Ireland and debuting in England at two, entered the conversation. Bred and owned by Aga Khan IV, that colt was named Shergar. SHERGAR 2 Secretariat’s physicality that bordered on perfection was punctuated by three white socks and a white blaze streaking down the front of his striking head. Shergar displayed a similar blaze and four white socks. Both were named three-year-old champions by virtual acclamation. Secretariat’s death at nineteen was earlier than the actuarial average of about twenty-five. Shergar’s kidnapping and permanent disappearance at five years of age was an event outside of the high-risk norms of thoroughbred breeding and racing. That event also remains a case unsolved. The passage of forty years since his birth has long ended the speculation of his whereabouts fostered by the absence of a corpus delicti.
