ABSTRACT The years 1850 to 1910 cover the period when a number of statutory bodies were established to carry out Acts of Parliament which had been passed to improve the condition of the people. This thesis examines the background to the establishment of such bodies in Burslem as the Local Board of Health in response to the Public Health Act 1848; the School Board in 1874 after the Education Act of 1870; the Education Committee after the 1902 Education Act; the Board of Guardians in 1838 as a result of the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Actt outside bodies that were also involved were the School Inspectorate and the Factory Inspectorate, the latter to enforce the 1864 Factory Acts Amendment Act, the operation of which was not put in the hands of local people. The problems faced by the elected bodies and how they coped with the situation are also examined, as is the composition of the membership. The period 1850 to 1910 saw the only time when Burslem had an effective local government of its own. The major local institutions were those of the Church and the Chapel. The religious institutions were well organised and the state of the established church, of non-conformism and Roman Catholicism is examined as are the relationships between the religious groups and the conflicts that arose between them, that were extended to the field of education in particular. In other fields the role of bodies such as the friendly societies and trade unions is seen in the context of their relationship with the statutory bodies. In conclusion it can be seen that the primary moves for the changes came from Parliament, but once the framework had been established the local people responded with varying degrees of enthusiasm and considered ways of extending the powers that they had been provided with .iv. in the appropriate Act. Opposition to the creation of such statutory bodies was very slight. .v. NOTES There were two men called Thomas Hulme, who were both active in local affairs at the same time. They will be distinguished as Thomas Hulme (D) and Thomas Hulme (W). The 'D' standing for Dunwood Hall, Endon, and the ' W' for Woodleigh, WolStanton, their respective residences. There were also two men called Edward Walley, though they were not quite contemporaries, one was an earthenware manufacturer and the other was a builder. Abbreviations S, Adv. Staffordshire Advertiser C E C Children's Employment Commission B S B Burslem School Board B Ed C Burslem Education Committee W & B Wolstanton and Burslem Poor Law Union/Guardians CHAPTER I The Town of Burslem Location Burslem was one of the six towns of North Staffordshire that were collectively known as 'the Potteries', because the predominant and staple industry was the manufacture of earthenware and china, and in the production of such goods the six towns formed the major centre in Britain as nowhere else was there such a concentration of firms nor so many firms. The six towns followed an approximately linear pattern, with Burslem lying between Tunstall and Hanley in the northern trio (Stoke-upon-Trent, Fenton and Longton made up the southern trio). The Potteries lay on the fringe of the Peak district and particularly on the east were moorlands, the river Trent created the main valley and local streams were its tributaries. The area was within reasonable access of both Manchester and Birmingham and the port of Liverpool for business purposes and in the latter part of the period the coast of North Wales and the Isle of Man were the main recreational destinations. Geology and Topography Burslem was sited, mainly on coal measures, those ran in the general direction,north-west to south-east, and the sequence from east to west was - middle and lower coal measures, then the Black Band group, then Etruria Marls. The coal measures, especially the Black Band group, contained iron as well as coal, and were of economic importance to the town. The marls contained the clays that were used, at that time for bricks, tiles and saggars.Most of Burslem was on a ridge of land, some 500 feet above sea-level, to the west was the valley of the Fowlea Brook, a tributary stream of the river Trent, to the east was the 1. Containers in which pottery was packed for protection whilst it was being fired. 1. CENTRAL BURSLEM À * ! \ \ >î>A ••: /* V ‘ v ■.* A A KM 637 j Metf.

    Companies referred to in the Ceramic and Allied Trades Union Collection Note - The following is a list of the companies which can be clearly identified in the CATU archive without any risk of confusion, the evidence coming from headed letter paper or something equally unassailable. This list is for information only. We can not retrieve documents from the collection from this list as the documents are spread throughout the collection in different files and have not been indexed. Many documents in the archive are much less clear cut (hand written notes, surveys etc) and it is not always easy to identify precisely which company is being referred to. One frequent potential source of confusion is that potbanks often had their own names, and these may sometimes look like company names. In practice, potbanks could change hands or be divided between more than one company. List of Companies in alphabetical order A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P R S T V W A Wm.

Since its inception the Charity has persistently and influentially worked to lift standards, develop training qualifications and build networks across the UK’s conservation, repair and maintenance (CRM) sector, estimated at over 40% of all construction industry activities. This has involved working partnerships with national agencies, professional and standard setting bodies, educational establishments and training interests. This study is directed towards a general audience and those wishing to increase their knowledge of The Potteries area, and its specific form and type of buildings in addition to assisting in providing a framework for carrying out similar regional studies.
