Broad: ‘Northumberland at War’. At the Battle of Towton in 1461 the Lancastrian forces of Henry VI were defeated by the Yorkist forces of Edward IV. However Henry VI, with his wife, son and a few knights, fled north and found sanctuary in Scotland, where, in exchange for the town of Berwick, the Scots granted them finance, housing and troops. Henry was therefore able to maintain a presence in Northumberland and his supporters were able to claim that he was in fact as well as in theory sovereign resident in Northumberland.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • Newsletter Vol. 2
    CASTLE STUDIES GROUP NEWSLETTER Number 2 AUTUMN 1988 Dear Member First of all, may I apologise for the belated appearance of this Newsletter, which has become the casualty of a growing pile of paperwork in Exeter University. Second, you will immediately see that its contents are not exactly as anticipated when last year's Newsletter was produced. As a result of discussion among the Steering Committee, which had an. informal meeting after the first day of the conference at Leeds in May of this year, the original plan to publish the Register of Members separately has been abandoned. Instead, the information collected on numerous questionnaires between 1986 and 1988 5s presented here, in digested form, in the second Newsletter together wit a an up-dated list of members The questionnaire enclosed Invites you to send information to appear in next year's Newsletter, in conjunction with the publications list which is provided by John Kenyon, In this way, each Newsletter will provide an accumulating body of information. Third, you will find enclosed a Bankers Order Form, which you may prefer to use rather than send a cheque each year. Use of these forms will certainly help in cutting down the paperwork for your Secretary. If you have not yet renewed your subscription from April 1988, please do so very soon. While numerous comments have been received about the usefulness of the Newsletter it will not develop its full potential unless members send items for publication. The first two issues have been very "business" orientated in their content. Please remember to send local/regional/national/ international news which you think might be of interest, together with dates and venues of meetings or courses (adult education tutors please note!) which members might wish to attend.

  • A History of the Walter Scott Publishing House
    A History of the Walter Scott Publishing House by John R. Turner A Thesis Submitted to The Faculty of Economic and Social Studies for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Information and Library Studies University of Wales, Aberystwyth 1995 Abstract Sir Walter Scott of Newcastle upon Tyne was bom in poverty and died a millionaire in 1910. He has been almost totally neglected by historians. He owned a publishing company which made significant contributions to cultural life and which has also been almost completely ignored. The thesis gives an account of Scott's life and his publishing business. Contents Introduction 1 Chapter 1 : The Life of Sir Walter Scott 4 Chapter 2: Walter Scott's Start as a Publisher 25 Chapter 3: Reprints, the Back-Bone of the Business 45 Chapter 4: Editors and Series 62 Chapter 5: Progressive Ideas 112 Chapter 6: Overseas Trade 155 Chapter 7: Final Years 177 Chapter 8: Book Production 209 Chapter 9: Financial Management and Performance of the Company 227 Conclusion 260 Bibliography 271 Appendices List of contracts, known at present, undertaken by Walter Scott, or Walter Scott and Middleton 1 Printing firms employed to produce Scott titles 7 Transcriptions of surviving company accounts 11 Walter Scott, aged 73, from Newcastle Weekly Chronicle, 2nd December 1899, p 7. Introduction The most remarkable fact concerning Walter Scott is his almost complete neglect by historians since his death in 1910. He created a vast business organization based on building and contracting which included work for the major railway companies, the first London underground railway, the construction of docks and reservoirs, ship building, steel manufacture and coal mining.
