  • Cognition Cultureand
    Whilst the necessity of taking the culture-side of metaphor and metonymy into account is easy to proclaim in broad terms of theoretical and methodological maxims, the operationalization of culturally oriented metaphor research is far from being fully established. Formulating hypotheses about cross-cultural differences as well as similarities in the uses of metaphor and metonymy demand a signifi cant amount of empirical data COGNITION gathering that involves constructing special SONJA KLEINKE research corpora and checking their validity ZOLTÁN KÖVECSES against larger, “general” corpora and against ANDREAS MUSOLFF other corpus-based fi ndings. Insofar as the AND VERONIKA SZELID intensifi ed interest in empirical linguistic data of metaphor and metonymy use has increased, the role of “context” has also become more central – not just in the sense that context-less examples have largely disappeared from current research CULTURE CULTURE debates but also in the theoretically signifi cant sense that the character of context as a culturally AND mediated ensemble of genres, registers and discourse traditions has become thematic, so that a uniform treatment has become less plausible.

  • A HISTORY of CLUB CRICKET in COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One
    A HISTORY OF CLUB CRICKET IN COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One..........The eighteenth century In the beginning The first recorded cricket match in Durham was at Raby Castle in 1751. It was five years after the Duke of Cumberland and bayoneted Redcoats slogged through the county’s mud on their way to the Battle of Culloden. Defoe’s account of his travels through Great Britain had not long been published. Defoe found nothing remarkable in Darlington or Chester-le-Street except “dirt” but was impressed by Lumley Castle and acknowledged Lumley coal the best in the country. He thought Durham a “compact neatly contriv’d city” where clergy lived “in all the splendour and magnificence imaginable”. Durham cathedral and Saint Cuthbert’s remains were a shrine for pilgrims but the city was a vulnerable haven riding on a cut-throat sea. The poor lived in slums; the populace was prey to vagabonds, footpads and highwaymen. The Bishop of Durham bewailed “the scorn of religion”. His flock scratched a living on the land or burrowed beneath it for lead and coal; their leisure centred upon drinking and blood sports like cock-fighting. In 1742 John Wesley came across a village “inhabited by colliers only, and as such had been always in the first rank for savage ignorance, and wickedness of every kind. Their grand assembly used to be on the Lord’s Day on which men, women and children met together to dance, fight, curse, and swear, and play chuck-ball, span farthing, or whatever came to hand.” Somehow, sometime the game of cricket took root in these parts.

  • Glossary for John Pond of Oaks
    Glossary for John Pond of Oaks Underdog When two men were hand sawing a log with a cross-cut saw they did so using a sawing pit. One man stood on top of the log gripping the handle on one end of the saw while the second man, gripping the handle on the other end, worked from the pit. He became the underdog, a name which in common usage was eventually given to anyone starting a task from a downwards (and very dirty) position (in life). The sawyer on the log was the top dog, incidentally, which a temporarily successful person was often called. Old Dart A name often given to England at the time, which expression is said to have been shared by early New Zealand settlers as well. In the U.S. the same term often meant Ireland. The origin of the term has been mistakenly thought to be a reference to the notorious Dartmoor prison because of the number of convicts in early Australia. However, the word “dart” is thought to have meant “dirt” (as soil upon which every Englishman hopes to tread again one day). Trap is a term used in early Australia for a constable which may or may not refer to an act which leads to the catching of a criminal. Police were often referred to as "Bobbies" or "Peelers" after Sir Robert (Bobby) Peel, who introduced the Police Act in England during early Australia. The term policeman was used later. Piccaninni A baby Aboriginal. Not a derogatory term in early Australia. Said to be derived from the Portuguese ‘pequenino ‘ which is a term of endearment for a black baby.

  • Charles Ivall and Family
    Frederick “Nutty” Martin (1861-1921) : Professional Cricketer I was asked to supply a photo of the grave of Frederick Martin in East Hill Cemetery, Dartford by a relation of his. Frederick was a professional cricketer who played for Kent and England. He was known as “Nutty”, although he said that he could not fully explain the reason. Nevertheless, the name stuck throughout his life.1 Frederick was born on October 12th 1861 in Dartford. He was the third of eight children (six boys and two girls) born to William and Ann Martin. Frederick was baptised on November 24th at Holy Trinity church, Dartford. The 1871 census shows William Martin (aged 38, a labourer in iron works) and his wife Ann (34) living at 67 Waterside, Dartford with their children Elizabeth (14), Walter (12), Frederick (9), Clara (6), William (3) and Horace (1). In 1881, the family consisted of William (47, labourer in iron works), Ann (44), Frederick (19, labourer in iron works), Clara (16, pupil teacher), William (13, errand boy), Horace (10), Ernest (7) and Frank (4). Their address was 69 Hythe Street, Dartford. This was the same road where they were living in 1871 - Waterside was renamed Hythe Street. In the 1911 census (after he had retired) William’s occupation was described as “formerly at engineering works, labourer charge hand”. It seems likely that William and Frederick were working for J & E Hall Ltd, the biggest iron / engineering works in Dartford and very close to Hythe Street. Frederick played cricket for the Darenth Vale and Dartford Albion clubs1. In 1882 he appeared for a district team against Kent.

  • FOUR CENTURIES of HAILEYS a Family Saga
    FOUR CENTURIES OF HAILEYS A Family Saga By Kathleen Casey, Ph.D. * * * Foreword by Arthur Hailey * * * To the younger Haileys of this generation and other generations yet to come this volume is dedicated, with hope for their future and with love * * * First published privately in 1982 and re-published on AmershamHistory.info by Amersham Museum in 2015 with permission of the author and with the help of Barry and Margaret Renfrew. Barry’s mother Daphne, born Hailey, is a first cousin of the author. CONTENTS Foreword page 3 Chapter 1 Origins page 4 Chapter 2 The Elizabethans page 9 Chapter 3 Mark Time...........Forward March page 14 Chapter 4 Revolution page 22 Chapter 5 Progress or Perish - The Victorians page 27 Chapter 6 The Edwardians - A Crisis of Identity page 35 Chapter 7 Diaspora page 43 A Note on Sources and Bibliography page 56 2 FOREWORD By Arthur Hailey In December 1977, my wife, Sheila, suggested that the Hailey family investigate its origins. Somewhat doubtfully I agreed. Sheila then contacted the Society of Genealogists in London, England, who – for what seemed a modest fee – agreed to dig into our past. By April of the following year the Society had delivered a bulky packet of documents, followed by even more material a few months later. All of it was fascinating. My earlier indifference changed swiftly to enthusiasm. I wanted to put the pieces together in some kind of a report, which would be for the benefit of my own children, grandchildren, and descendants yet to come. I soon realized, however, that I was totally out of my depth and, as a contemporary novelist, was in no way equipped to deal with history.

  • Wallasey Police and Fire Brigade
    This book is the first of two volumes covering the Wallasey Police and Fire Brigade. It concentrates on the history of the Wallasey Police whilst the second volume is focused on the Fire Brigade. However there is much of Police interest in the second volume as many officers were also Firemen – the Fire Bobbies. The Museum of Policing in Cheshire is grateful to the author, Noel E. Smith for the extensive research he has undertaken in writing these books and for his permission to reproduce them here. Dedication These two volumes are dedicated to all the members of the Old Wallasey Borough Police and Wallasey Borough Fire Brigade. Author's Note This is not an official history of Policing in Wallasey, nor that of the Fire Service. Rather, it is a look into those services from an outside observation, based on research and stories given to me. I apologise beforehand, should some of the facts and events be not quite accurate. I also apologise for all those Police Officers and Firemen whom I have failed to mention. There have been many faithful Officers who have served the town over the years and I am sure they, or their families, have stories to tell. I am always happy to hear from readers, should they care to write to me. I hope you all enjoy these two volumes.
