Keywords: Business networks, British cotton textile industry, innovation, finance, regions, entrepreneurship, mergers. JEL: L14, L26, O33, N24, N83 Correspondence details: Steven Toms Professor of Accounting, Leeds University Business School Room 2.09, Maurice Keyworth Building University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT Tel: 44(113)-3434456 Email: [email protected] Word count: c.11,000 Abstract The paper considers the dual aspect of social networks in terms of 1) product innovators and developers and 2) the providers of finance. The growth of networks can be explained as a function of incumbents and entrants’ preferences to link with specific nodes defined according to the underlying duality. Such preferences can be used to explain network evolution and growth dynamics in the cotton textile industry, from being the first sector to develop in the industrial revolution through to its maturity. The network preference approach potentially explains several features of the long run industry life cycle: 1. The early combination of innovators with access to extensive credit networks, protected by entry barriers determined by pre-existing network structures, leading to lower capital costs for incumbents and rapid productivity growth, c.1780-1830.

  • The Anglican Assertion in Lancashire: the Role of the Commissioners' Churches in Three Lancashire Townships, 1818-1856 by Will
    The Anglican Assertion in Lancashire: The Role of The Commissioners’ Churches in Three Lancashire Townships, 1818-1856 by William Walker A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire. July 2018 i STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution. ________________________________________________________________ Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. _________________________________________________________________ Signature of Candidate _______________________________________ Type of Award Doctor of Philosophy School Humanities and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT The years between 1818 and 1856 encompass the life of the Church Building Commission, one agency of a determined assertion by the Anglican Church. Under the Commissioners’ aegis 82 of the 612 new places of worship were planted in Lancashire. The intention is to analyse the rationale and impact of a remarkable church building project and its role in the Anglican initiative in the county. The thesis is the first detailed local study of the churches’ distinctive role, beyond the assessment of their artistic worth. M.H. Port in Six Hundred New Churches (2006) produced the definitive work on the architecture and central administration of “Waterloo Churches”.1 He had less to say on their social and religious importance. In order to explore the rationale, impact and role of the churches, I adopted a case study approach selecting three churches in south central Lancashire, one from each deanery of Manchester Diocese which was created out of Chester Diocese in 1847.

  • Charity, Status and Parliamentary Candidates in Manchester: a Consideration of Electoral and Charity Fields and the Social Basis of Power, 1832–1910
    International Review of Social History 44 (1999), pp. 1–21 1999 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Charity, Status and Parliamentary Candidates in Manchester: A Consideration of Electoral and Charity Fields and the Social Basis of Power, 1832–1910 P ETER S HAPELY SUMMARY: This article is concerned with the relationship which existed between Manchester’s parliamentary candidates and their involvement with local charities. Both of these areas, ‘‘charity’’ and ‘‘parliamentary elections’’ formed distinct fields of activity, each with their own structures and each producing a particular set of dispositions. Success depended on the individual’s habitus and having the right degree of personal or cultural capital. In the mid to late Victorian period parliamen- tary candidates were meant to possess the qualities of a local leader. The election field determined the need to prove fitness to represent the local community. Part of the criteria for this included involvement with local charities. This suggested moral worth and firm commitment to the area. The charity field provided a particu- lar type of status for the individual. This article will explore the relationship between the two fields of activity and how entering the election field determined the need to also enter the charity field to provide the individual with its vital dispositions. Voluntary charities were a prominent and integral part of British society in the nineteenth century.1 They provided a range of welfare institutions2 and played an important role in the local urban environment.3 Some historians have seen them as responsible for stimulating class formation and dissemin- ating middle-class ideas.4 None the less, it is often overlooked that voluntary charities had other important roles to play in local power structures.5 While the connection between charitable involvement and local politics has been 1.
