  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council
    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

  • WLHG Peterloo Bi-Centenary(2019)
    Westhoughton Local History Group LOCAL HISTORY GROUP UNCOVERS WESTHOUGHTON’S UNIQUE AND FASCINATING LINKS TO THE PETERLOO MASSACRE On 16th August 1819, a huge crowd, variously estimated at 60,000 – 100,000 people, assembled in the centre of Manchester, essentially as part of a peaceful process to demand major parliamentary reforms – especially extended suffrage, and representation at Westminster, since, despite a population of over 2 million, Lancashire had no Members of Parliament at that time. Two centuries ago, life for the vast majority of people – but especially those working in the newly- industrialised northern towns and cities – was verging on desperate, with widespread chronic poverty, famine, and mass unemployment. As a result of unbounded economic hardships in the wake of the hugely- expensive Napoleonic Wars, taxes had risen to crippling levels, and for many the introduction of the widely-despised Corn Laws in 1815 represented the last straw. For years, discontent amongst the lowest classes of society had increasingly simmered, to the point where the Establishment had feared a revolution similar to that in France just 30 years earlier. Accordingly, any mass meetings – no matter how innocent or peaceful – were viewed with great fear and suspicion by local magistrates, acting as agents for the Home Office in London, and were frequently banned or rapidly dispersed by the use of local militia and regiments of mounted Yeomanry, the latter being de facto private armies. The crowd in Manchester had gathered to hear renowned orator Henry Hunt, one of the country’s leading campaigners for political reform, but whose movements were constantly monitored by the authorities, as he was deemed no more than a dangerous ‘rabble-rouser’.

  • Making the Most of Opportunity: the Economy of Makeshifts in the Early Modern North1
    8 Making the most of opportunity: the economy of makeshifts in the early modern north 1 Steven King The poor in England Making the most of opportunity Overview The introduction to this volume suggested that the old poor law has been subject to a positive historiographical makeover by some welfare historians. To commentators such as David Thomson and Martin Daunton, the old poor law was a flexible, increasingly humane (by design or simple loss of control) and frequently generous system which came to represent the central plank of the welfare strategies of many people by the opening decades of the nineteenth century.2 There is persuasive empirical support for this point of view, with various authors mining bland poor law account books to show that over the course of the long eighteenth century the poor law came to relieve more people (sometimes at more generous levels), to recognise relative poverty, to pay for a greater range of goods and services and to relieve people for longer, than had been the case before.3 In pioneering work linking family reconstitution evidence and poor law accounts, Richard Smith has clearly shown the development of more expensive pension strategies, the changing composition of relief lists and a widening of the services provided by the poor law from the late eighteenth century.4 Peter King has used pauper inventories from Essex to show that poor law authorities there were willing to recognise relative as well as absolute destitution, and to intervene to preserve the household possessions of those who faced sudden need.5 And Steve Hindle has analysed the vestry minutes, charity accounts and poor law book of Frampton in Lincolnshire to showSteven that, King - 9781526137869 Downloaded from manchesterhive.com at 10/02/2021 01:31:44PM via free access 228 Making the most of opportunity 229 at least for its settled poor, the community could demonstrate considerable paternalism to those in need.6 Of course, there were stark variations in local practice.

  • Marketing Fragment 6 X 10.T65
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87370-3 - Heroes of Invention: Technology, Liberalism and British Identity, 1750-1914 Christine MacLeod Frontmatter More information Heroes of Invention This innovative study adopts a completely new perspective on both the industrial revolution and nineteenth-century British culture. It investi- gates why inventors rose to heroic stature and popular acclaim in Victorian Britain, attested by numerous monuments, biographies and honours, and contends there was no decline in the industrial nation’s self-esteem before 1914. In a period notorious for hero-worship, the veneration of inventors might seem unremarkable, were it not for their previous disparagement and the relative neglect suffered by their twentieth-century successors. Christine MacLeod argues that inventors became figureheads for various nineteenth-century factions, from economic and political liberals to impoverished scientists and radical artisans, who deployed their heroic reputation to challenge the aristocracy’s hold on power and the militaristic national identity that bolstered it. Although this was a challenge that ultimately failed, its legacy for present-day ideas about invention, inventors and the history of the industrial revolution remains highly influential. CHRISTINE MACLEOD is Professor of History in the School of Humanities, University of Bristol. She is the author of Inventing the Industrial Revolution: The English Patent System, 1660–1800 (1988). © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87370-3
