  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding
    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.

    MILLS DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2005 – 2015: Strategy for the regeneration of Stockport’s historic textile works CONTENTS PAGES 1. INTRODUCTION 2 - 6 2. THE MILL RESOURCE 7 - 11 3. PLANNING POLICY 12 - 14 4. REGENERATION PRIORITIES 15 - 17 5. ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES 18 - 23 6. ACTION PLAN 24 - 31 APPENDIX I LIST OF STANDING MILL BUILDINGS 1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose In common with many North West towns, Stockport has a rich legacy of former mill buildings, developed as part of the town’s growth as an important textile centre. Although mass production in this industry has now disappeared, the mill buildings remain as a significant part of the economic and physical fabric of the town. They are an important asset, but one that needs to be managed carefully. This report has been prepared in response to a need to develop a strategic approach to maximise opportunities presented by the mill resource. The purpose of this report and strategy is to: (a) Outline the current position with regard to the mill resource. (b) Outline the key issues facing the mill resource. (c) Set down an overall strategy, objectives and action plan to guide the future development and use of mill buildings and sites within the town. The Mills Development Plan is adopted by the Council as a strategy document. As an outcome of the strategy (see the Action Plan accompanying this document) planning briefs will be developed on key sites and these documents will be incorporated into either the existing Unitary Development Plan or the planned Local Development Framework. 1.2 Definition of the mill resource The strategy takes as its main focus the 64 historic textile sites remaining from the 18 th , 19 th and early 20 th century textile industry.

Journal of the Chester Archaeological Society Volume 85 for 2015, pages 39‐82 IV: The Industrial Archaeology of Cheshire An Overview by Michael Nevell [final peer‐reviewed text] Study of the industrial period in Cheshire (1750–1900) has been patchy. This thematic overview attempts to redress the balance and especially to highlight the contribution made over the last quarter‐century by archaeological fieldwork. Of set purpose it is descriptive rather than analytical. Nevertheless, it is set within the framework of recent developments in methodology and theory, and suggestions are made of possible future research themes. Introduction Cheshire contains some of the major saltworks and the earliest purpose‐built mecha ‐nised textile mills and industrial canals in Britain. Yet the physical remains of the Industrial Revolution within the county, beyond those of corn mills and the textile industry, have only been studied fitfully; the remains of many of its chief industries are poorly recorded; and their wider significance is often not fully appreciated.
