  • Reminiscences of a Former Master Cutler (1851-1947) Introduction by Pauline Bell
    Reminiscences of a former Master Cutler (1851-1947) Introduction by Pauline Bell. In August and September 1933 James Dixon wrote five long articles that were published in the Sheffield Telegraph. These are only accessible on microfilm which when photocopied produces a copy of very indifferent quality. The smaller the print in the photocopy, the clearer it is but then the print is so tiny it is difficult to read without a magnifying glass! I am not a skilled typist but felt these articles were extremely important not only in relation to Mr. Dixon’s life but to the social, local and national history of the period of his life span. Can you imagine middle class parents allowing their primary school-age children to take a picnic and go out for the day on foot walking some 3 miles or so (Fulwood to Beauchief in Sheffield)? In addition, I think it gives quite an insight into travel both business and leisure at a time when it was by sea and by horse drawn vehicles and some train as this means of transport became available. I have used a voice recognition programme to type these which works well for normal vocabulary but not for foreign place names. I have tried to ensure these are correct with the help of ‘google’ but I suspect there may still be some errors. As far as possible what follows is in his own words though sometimes I was reduced to guessing the occasional word or phrase and hope that I have at least conveyed his meaning as he intended.

  • The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town Cl740-Cl820
    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume One THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SHEFFIELD AND THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN cl740-c 1820 Neville Flavell February 1996 SUMMARY In the early eighteenth century Sheffield was a modest industrial town with an established reputation for cutlery and hardware. It was, however, far inland, off the main highway network and twenty miles from the nearest navigation. One might say that with those disadvantages its future looked distinctly unpromising. A century later, Sheffield was a maker of plated goods and silverware of international repute, was en route to world supremacy in steel, and had already become the world's greatest producer of cutlery and edge tools. How did it happen? Internal economies of scale vastly outweighed deficiencies. Skills, innovations and discoveries, entrepreneurs, investment, key local resources (water power, coal, wood and iron), and a rapidly growing labour force swelled largely by immigrants from the region were paramount. Each of these, together with external credit, improved transport and ever-widening markets, played a significant part in the town's metamorphosis. Economic and population growth were accompanied by a series of urban developments which first pushed outward the existing boundaries. Considerable infill of gardens and orchards followed, with further peripheral expansion overspilling into adjacent townships. New industrial, commercial and civic building, most of it within the central area, reinforced this second phase. A period of retrenchment coincided with the French and Napoleonic wars, before a renewed surge of construction restored the impetus.

Copyright (C) John Dunstan, 1968 2 FOREWORD As I read this excellent book, I remembered my first service at “ Little Totley ”—a Harvest Festival. It was a mellow autumn afternoon. The chapel was ablaze with masses of flowers, and sweet with the scents of harvest. From the pulpit one had an incomparable view. The land fell away into the wooded valley; beyond were the purple moors and rolling hills. Somehow inside and outside were one and indivisible. It is a memory I shall never forget. That day the little church was full. On another occasion I conducted a service, with sermon and Holy Communion, complete with gleaming chalices, and then we all got into my car—a four-seater— preacher, organist, and congregation, and went home.

  • Newsletter 65
    NEWSLETTER NO. 65 AUTUMN 2005 EDITORIAL Welcome to the Autumn Newsletter and I hope you all had an enjoyable summer, making the most of some excellent weather and that no-one was affected by the terrible events in London in July. I have recently returned from the annual Association for Industrial Archaeology Conference which was based at the University of Nottingham but explored the IA of Derbyshire. I wasn’t able to stay for the whole week but for the four days I was there, I was able to visit some interesting sites including the cement works at Hope near Castleton where we all had to walk around the site with hard hats, safety glasses and high visibility jackets. It was good to see several section members at the conference as well as meeting up with old friends and I’ll be providing a report for the next Newsletter. The conference was preceded by a day seminar on Industrial Archaeology and Industrial Heritage in National Parks; David George attended and he has very efficiently produced a report for this Newsletter. Thanks to David for the other reports he has also produced this time. Longstanding members will be pleased to hear from Bob Cooper, who I met at the conference, that Nancy Cooper has settled well in her new home in Ashby de la Zouch and appreciated receiving the Newsletter. Following my plea in the last Newsletter for a new Lectures Secretary I am very pleased to report that we have one – Jane Ellis has gallantly accepted to take up the challenge and has organised the 2005/6 programme from January onwards.

  • To the Down of The
    900 YEARS OF THE DON FISHERY fc n v ir o n m e to the down of the E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y The hand of man and the neglect of our . \i ancestors have deprived us of | a river which must have been a vision of glittering beauty (■ ERNEST PHILLIPS 1921 '1 The Don was once one of the country's finest salmon rivers. They have been absent from Salmon Pastures in Sheffield for more than two centuries. In fact for much of that time the river has been virtually fishless. Chris Firth's fascinating history of the river is timely. We now have a thriving coarse fishery again and the first salmon was found in Doncaster on 31 December 1995. Chris's study shows how man's exploitation of the Don devastated its ecology long before the pollution of the industrial revolution. Much has been achieved in recent years but much more remains to be done to protect and sustain the river. Os- JOHN FAWCETT CHAIRMAN 1 983 - 1 997 YORKSHIRE REGIONAL FISHERIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE Born and raised in the Don catchment, I have witnessed the river's misery throughout my childhood and into adult life. When in my professional life, the opportunity presented itself to begin the restoration of the Don I was eager to be involved. That is not to say that this document has been easy to produce. The collation of information from many varying sources has proved to be extremely challenging. The final product of many months of hard work is not a scientific record but a reflection borne of personal and professional experience.

  • TAPTON HALL and EXPERIMENTAL GARDENS Historic Landscape
    TAPTON HALL AND EXPERIMENTAL GARDENS Historic Landscape Appraisal and Recommendations Prepared by: JOAN SEWELL BSc MA Landscape architect Landscape historian Garden design consultant The Limes 30 North Church Street Bakewell DE45 1DB April 2008 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The demise of historic gardens in Sheffield: the role of the Local Schedule Over a period of three years from 1993 to 1996 a detailed survey of the historic parks and gardens in the city of Sheffield was undertaken to support Policy BE21 in the city’s Unitary Development Plan. Research revealed that quite simply through lack of awareness and understanding there had been much loss and irreparable damage done to some of the city’s finest designed historic landscapes in parks and gardens. It was discovered that features, settings and styles combined to give individual gardens a unique character. Gardens also reflected important historical associations in terms of style, had associations with nationally acclaimed designers, had links to significant historical events and persons, contributed to planning schemes or ‘visions’ for parts of the city and also contributed in some cases to clusters or groups of buildings or land of historic interest. The condition of historic gardens also gave cause for concern and provided an important criterion for considering their importance. 1 Such criteria were used to inform selection for inclusion in the Local Schedule of Historic Parks and Gardens, the background to which is explained in full in UDP Background Policy Paper No 4, 1998. It was not possible to carry out a survey of all potential gardens for the Local Schedule at that time for various reasons: problems of scale - trying to cover the entire city using a relatively small team of research assistants; access to a garden may have been withheld by the owner; and, on occasion, restricted local knowledge limited the number of gardens considered.
