Bulletin Copy Dates SOCIETY MATTERS Bulletin copy dates Copy to Editor Anticipated PUBLICATION No Announcements and Enclosures DEADLINE Despatch Dates JULY 2021 492 25th June 2021 early July 2021 ––––––––––– The Bulletin dates above are from R&CHS MC's calendar (issued 10th February 2021). The announcement below, and what we should expect to be 'normal' life for the next few months, may change some dates in 2021 but I would be grateful if contributors for Bulletin 491 will adhere to my Copy to Editor Deadline above please. Coronavirus Update (April 2021) The rollout of the vaccination programme, together with recent announcements from the government, offer optimism that we may soon be able to recommence Society events (talks, walks and conferences) of the type we have all enjoyed for many years. Some of the Regional Groups have included encouraging updates on their plans in this Bulletin. This year’s Society AGM, to be held on 22nd May, will be a virtual meeting. Details on how to attend and vote may be found in this Bulletin and on the website (https://rchs.org.uk/2021-agm/). As an alternative to the paper voting and proxy forms, this year we are also offering an online facility. Thanks go to those members who voted and/or attended the EGM on 20th March. The motion was carried with only one vote not in favour of the change of date for receipt of nominations for Council. It will now be much easier to arrange elections in the future in which all members will be able to participate. In these challenging times, it is even more important that we are able to communicate with members between editions of the Bulletin. Should you have not received Society news by e-mail recently, and would like to do so in future, please let the web team know (via the link https://rchs.org.uk/Subscribe) and your e-mail address will be added to the mailing list. Roger Brice, RCHS Secretary ([email protected]) THE SOCIETY'S FORTHCOMING LECTURE MEETINGS Following feedback from members who, for reasons principally (but not exclusively) of geography, have not in the past been able to attend Regional Group meetings, the Managing Committee have decided to extend the traditional period of lecture meetings into May. Five meetings have been scheduled during May with the expectation of more being arranged for September; before the Regional Group meetings begin again in October. The meetings will use the video-conferencing facilities of Zoom. Information on how to join these meetings may be found on the website https://rchs.org.uk/events/. 19.00 Wednesday 12th May 2021: Talk by Adam Cromerford Water Management – too little, too much, and just right 1 Adam Cromerford is National Hydrology Manager for the Canal & River Trust. His talk will discuss the problems of water management as faced by the C&RT today - there will be several examples used covering the scope indicated by the title of his talk. The talk will take 40-45 minutes to deliver, after which there will be time for questions. 14.00 Saturday 8th May: Talk by Peter Brown An appraisal of the life and works of Thomas Telford Telford came to Shropshire intending to practice as an architect, was appointed County Surveyor and then as General Agent of the Ellesmere Canal. Over the next 40 years was the adviser to several West Midlands canals and was in charge of the improvement of the main road from London to Holyhead via Shrewsbury. This talk, organised by the West Midlands Group, will have a particular emphasis on Telford’s work in the West Midlands and is subtitled “. and why I wouldn’t have wanted to employ him”. 14.00 Saturday 15th May: Talk by Anthony Dawson The Leeds & Selby Railway The Leeds & Selby Railway was first proposed in 1814 to link Yorkshire's major textile centre with its nearest port. Twenty years in gestation, it finally opened in September 1834 as a Yorkshire clone of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. Uniquely it operated its own fleet of steamboats to continue the line toward Hull and York. Yet despite being managed by some of Leeds' leading businessmen, it always possessed a certain naiveté and sadly fell prey to the machinations of George Hudson after an independent existence of less than a decade. 19.00 Wednesday 19th May 2021: Talk by Tony Riley The Victorian Railway in Kent In his talk, fully illustrated with 19th century photographs and maps, Tony looks at the development of Kentish railways from the 1830s onwards. 19.00 Wednesday 26th May: Talk by Robin Leleux Railways and Social Change in Victorian Britain – Part 2: Activities When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 the Railway Age was getting into its stride, with significant trunk lines either already open, nearly so, or authorised by Parliament, plus several local ones. When she died in 1901 railways were indisputably a major part of the fabric of Britain. In the intervening 2-century and more they had directly or indirectly played a major part in changing the nature of society, whether in policing, education, religion, employment, diet, dissemination of news and views or holidays and relaxation, not overlooking the standardisation of time. In the second part of his talk on the subject of railways and social change in Victorian Britain, Robin Leleux moves on from ‘attitudes and economics’ to consider the impact of railways on ‘activities’. It is not necessary to have heard the first talk, given on 28th April, to enjoy the second. The talk will take about 45 minutes, after which there will be time for questions and discussion. For more information on the Society’s Spring Meetings please contact the Hon Secretary, Roger Brice ([email protected]; 07702302242) MEMBERSHIP NOTES TO 23rdth April 2021 ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION Subscriptions were due on 1st January for 2021. 696 members have paid their 2021 subscriptions and that is much appreciated because it saves the time spent reminding the 88 who have not yet paid. The label accompanying the Journal has ‘Sub Due’ for those members who were thought not to have paid up at the copy date for the Bulletin of 23rd April. The Society’s system is not perfect so if you think we have got something wrong, please e-mail or phone the Membership Secretary to sort things out.

  • Wakefield, West Riding: the Economy of a Yorkshire Manor
    WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR By BRUCE A. PAVEY Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1991 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1993 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY WAKEFIELD, WEST RIDING: THE ECONOMY OF A YORKSHIRE MANOR Thesis Approved: ~ ThesiSAd er £~ A J?t~ -Dean of the Graduate College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to to the faculty and staff of the Department of History, and especially the members of my advisory committee for the generous sharing of their time and knowledge during my stay at O.S.U. I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

  • THE HISTORY of CLARENDON VILLAS FOREWORD Whilst Researching the Material for My First
    THE HISTORY OF CLARENDON VILLAS FOREWORD Whilst researching the material for my first ‘House History’ project, ‘Highfield House & Sowood House’, (2010), I collected a great deal of information concerning other neighbouring land and buildings. After a great deal of thought I decided it was a shame not to make use of this material. The result of this decision was the production of two more Local/House History publications. My second project ‘The History of the South Ossett Triangle’ is a potted history of the land shaped like a triangle, bordered by three roads, now called Horbury Road, Manor Road and Sowood Lane. On this land was built the Parish Church, the Vicarage and the two Schools. This third project I have called ‘The History of Clarendon Villas and Greystones House’. These two new books (along with the Highfield and Sowood House one) complete a Trilogy of publications covering all the large houses as well as the Ecclesiastical Buildings on this area of land, built in the 19th Century. Clarendon Villas, is situated on Horbury Road, up the next driveway to Highfield House & Cottage. (Access is now from Vicar Lane) The bottom of the garden of Greystones House backed onto the garden of Highfield Cottage. The daughter of the family who lived in part of Highfield House, Gwen Hopkins, married John Judge and they bought No 18b (which included the garden) of Greystones. My parents allowed Gwen to come into our garden and pass through our garage in order to visit her parents, thus saving about a half mile journey! I have tried my best to verify all the information used in this publication but mistakes do happen and I crave your indulgence for any that may have been made.

  • Coventry Very Light Rail Tours Its Future Home
    Coventry Very Light Rail tours its future home March 24, 2021 Coventry City Council’s prototype Very Light Rail vehicle, which has the potential to transform how people move about the city, is set to be moved ready for real on track testing. Over the last two years researchers from WMG, University of Warwick together with TDi Ltd, have been designing and building the new Coventry Very Light Rail vehicle for Coventry City Council, which will see an electric powered, zero-emissions, lightweight, rail-based public transport system arrive in Coventry. The vehicle is being moved from NP Aerospace in the city for some static software testing before moving to a dedicated track at BCIMO in Dudley. The prototype vehicle has done a tour of Coventry so it could see its future operational home. After leaving the vehicle production site in Coventry it stopped outside the Co-op building and the Transport Museum so that the public could get a better view. Councillor Jim O’Boyle cabinet member for jobs and regeneration and Coventry and Warwickshire LEP board director said, “I am really pleased to see the first prototype vehicle out of the factory and on to our city’s streets. Even on a low loader it looks impressive – modern, sleek and of course the fact its battery powered means it’s good for the environment and air quality too. “Very Light Rail has reached this really important point thanks to all of the researchers, innovators, engineers and manufacturing skills we have right here in the city. And I believe that we can create jobs and opportunities for local people as we lead the Green Industrial Revolution.
