  • Philip Gardner Trumpet in the Dust: in Search of Constance Holme Two Decades Ago, in May 1973, I Visited the Humanities Research
    Philip Gardner Trumpet in the Dust: In Search of Constance Holme Two decades ago, in May 1973, I visited the Humanities Research Centre at Austin and spent several weeks engrossed in its uniquely large collection of manuscripts by the English regional novelist Constance Holme, who had died in 1955 when I was still an undergraduate and quite unaware of either her name or her work. She had first been brought to my attention in the mid 1960s by my Department Head at Memorial University, E. R. Seary, whose earliest research had been devoted to the nineteenth-century Sheffield poet Ebenezer Elliott, known as the "Corn Law Rhymer." Constance Holme 's once widely-read but largely unexamined fiction might, Seary thought, be a suitable topic for the doctoral dissertation on which I had not yet embarked. Instead, having known and admired his poetry for at least a decade, and being also personally acquainted with him, I wrote my dissenatiun 011 the life and work of another comparatively neglected North of England writer, Norman Nicholson. This, completed in 1969, was revised and abridged into my first book, published after some delay early in 1974. Once aroused, however, my interest in Constance Holme was quick to increase. The novel of hers to which I was first directed, The Lonely Plough (1914), held my attention by the force of its narrative, the distinction of its style, and the evocativeness of its landscape descriptions. That landscape rang a bell: it was the part of Westmorland (a county now absorbed into Cumbria) in which my father had been born, as well as Constance Holme twenty-seven years before him, and I had been evacuated to it for a year in wartime, at the age of five.

  • The Seaside Resorts of Westmorland and Lancashire North of the Sands in the Nineteenth Century
    THE SEASIDE RESORTS OF WESTMORLAND AND LANCASHIRE NORTH OF THE SANDS IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY BY ALAN HARRIS, M.A., PH.D. READ 19 APRIL 1962 HIS paper is concerned with the development of a group of Tseaside resorts situated along the northern and north-eastern sides of Morecambe Bay. Grange-over-Sands, with a population in 1961 of 3,117, is the largest member of the group. The others are villages, whose relatively small resident population is augmented by visitors during the summer months. Although several of these villages have grown considerably in recent years, none has yet attained a population of more than approxi­ mately 1,600. Walney Island is, of course, exceptional. Since the suburbs of Barrow invaded the island, its population has risen to almost 10,000. Though small, the resorts have an interesting history. All were affected, though not to the same extent, by the construction of railways after 1846, and in all of them the legacy of the nineteenth century is still very much in evidence. There are, however, some visible remains and much documentary evidence of an older phase of resort development, which preceded by several decades the construction of the local railways. This earlier phase was important in a number of ways. It initiated changes in what were then small communities of farmers, wood-workers and fishermen, and by the early years of the nineteenth century old cottages and farmsteads were already being modified to cater for the needs of summer visitors. During the early phase of development a handful of old villages and hamlets became known to a select few.

  • SCHEMES for the RECLAMATION of LAND from the SEA in NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING the EIGHTEENTH and NINETEENTH CENTURIES Read 20 Febr
    SCHEMES FOR THE RECLAMATION OF LAND FROM THE SEA IN NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES BY WILLIAM ROLLINSON, M.A. Read 20 February 1964 OME of the earliest schemes for the reclamation of land S from the sea in North Lancashire were implemented by the monks of Furness Abbey in the thirteenth century. In the fervour of Cistercian colonisation and agricultural reclamation, several areas on Walney Island were reclaimed by the construction of embankments or dykes of beach pebbles. There is some evidence to suggest that several of these dykes were constructed on both the west and east coasts of the island, but only the great Biggar Dyke on the east coast remains today, the west coast embank­ ments having been destroyed by marine erosion. Extending for almost a mile north-west of the village of Biggar, the dyke protected part of the east coast of Walney and prevented inundation of low-lying ground during spring tides. During the medieval period it was maintained and repaired by the monastic tenants in Furness, but after the dissolution of the abbey in 1537 the responsibility was assumed by the Crown, and in 1564 by the inhabitants of Walney. In spite of such an early and promising beginning, the progress of land reclamation and agricultural development was retarded after the dissolution, and it was not until the eighteenth century and the period of the Agricultural Revolution that interest was again aroused. Under the stimulus of a rapidly growing urban market and a rise in the price of grain during the Napoleonic wars, the period between the mid-eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was one of agricultural expansion and improvement.

  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you! Some of you will say i am full of it but remember this, “What may have been!” Give it up you knaves! Researched, complied, formated, indexed, wrote, edited, copied, copy-written, misspelled and filed by Rodney G. Dalton in the comfort of his easy chair at 1111 N – 2000 W Farr West, Utah in the United States of America in the Twenty First-Century A.D.

  • Economic Dev Strategy and A
    Plan for Fylde - Plan for the Future Fylde Council Fylde Local Plan Publication VersionEconomic Development June 2016Strategy and Action Plan Fylde Local Plan to 2032 – Publication version Preface Fylde consists of the classic seaside resort towns of Lytham and St Annes, the historic market town of Kirkham and the urban centres of Wesham, Warton and Freckleton; together with large areas of countryside and picturesque rural settlements. The Local Plan identifies the settlement hierarchy for Fylde at the end of the plan period in 2032. It is a destination in its own right for leisure, culture and tourism. Fylde is also an important part of the Lancashire economy – containing regionally significant business sectors including BAE Systems at Warton, (part of the internationally and nationally important Lancashire Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing Enterprise Zone), Blackpool Airport and its associated Enterprise Zone and the Westinghouse Springfields (Salwick) nuclear processing plant. It is vital that we manage, guide and encourage development within Fylde to meet the identified needs and aspirations of our local communities. The Local Plan identifies four Strategic Locations for Development which will be the focus for the level of housing development and economic growth required in Fylde up to the end of the plan period. The four Strategic Locations are: Lytham and St Annes; Fylde – Blackpool Periphery; Warton; and Kirkham and Wesham. To accommodate the level of development proposed, the Local Plan includes a masterplan policy for all of the Strategic Locations to ensure that new development on strategic sites is planned and delivered in an effective manner. The Publication version represents an important process in the preparation of the new Local Plan for Fylde.
