Acknowledgements We – the editors of this book – would first of all like to thank Jonathan Bradshaw for his help in the preparation of this book and, in particular, for helping us select the essays and for providing copies of original publications, producing biographical material for the introduction and checking the typesetting decisions made in our first draft manuscript.We sought Jonathan’s advice at all stages of the project but all the final editorial decisions were our own and we take full responsibility for any errors or omissions. Some of the material reproduced in this volume was jointly authored or edited. In Jonathan’s own words, “I hope that colleagues will not feel that in reproducing it here we are implying that it is all my own work. On the contrary, one of the most enjoyable aspects of my academic life has been to work in teams and to write with others. It must be so with big research projects. The joint work remains joint work and many thanks to the co-authors for their collaborations”. We are also especially grateful to Anne Burton for her sterling work in completely overhauling our untidy early version of the manuscript and handling numerous sub-editing, proof reading and production issues so carefully and with such patience and good humour; to Clare Brayshaw from York Publishing Services (YPS) for her prompt and accurate typesetting of this complex manuscript – including one chapter with no less than 22 figures and 10 tables – and her kindness in handling our mountain of time- consuming further correction requests after the first proof stage; to Jessica Stephens and Matthew Herring for their persistence with the copyright clearance work; to to Rachel McAllister, Matthew Peers and Sally Pulleyn in the Social Policy Research Unit for their help with marketing the book, providing ISBN numbers, digging out references, and updating Jonathan’s website with his full list of publications – and to all of the above for the painstaking care and attention they devoted to this book project. We are also grateful to Duncan Beal, Cathi Poole and Paula Charles at YPS for their excellent publication services and to Liz Ingham for her help in managing the book project finances. We would also like to thank the following organisations for supporting this project through financial and in-kind contributions, and the corresponding senior decision makers who authorised those contributions: the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and its Director of Research and Policy, Emma Stone; the Foundation for International Studies of Social Security and its President, Peter Saunders, the University of York Digital Library Digitisation Programme and its Director, Julie Allinson; the University of York Social Policy Research Unit and its Director, Gillian Parker; and the University of York Deputy Vice-Chancellor’s Office and its former office holder, Trevor Sheldon. Finally, we would like to thank and acknowledge the publishers of all the publications listed below for their kind permission to reproduce these original publications in a re-typeset format.

Introduction Roy Sainsbury, Richard Cookson and Caroline Glendinning How this book came about The stimulus for this volume was the ‘retirement’ of Jonathan Bradshaw in 2011 after 46 years as a student, teacher and researcher in social policy at the University of York. Most readers working in academic institutions will recognise the need for those inverted commas. ‘Retirement’ rarely means people actually packing their bags and leaving their offices to pursue whatever pleasures they had been denying themselves for years. And so it is that retirement for Jonathan means that he continues to teach, research and write but just on a part-time basis and certainly not so well paid. Nevertheless, as colleagues of many years we did want to mark his ‘official’ retirement with something more enduring and tangible than the traditional wine, nibbles and speeches. Thus the idea of this book was born. But what sort of book? In reflecting on this question we realised that Jonathan’s writing on social policy, covering nearly five decades, was scattered over a vast number of books, journals and reports which, even in the digital age, were often difficult to access. We therefore decided to collect together the best of his contributions to serve not only as a celebration and recognition of a lifetime’s achievement but also, and perhaps more i importantly, as an introduction to his wide-ranging scholarship and thinking for future generations of social policy students and scholars, that could inform and hopefully inspire them.

  • 45 Packer Joseph and Seebohm Rowntree
    JOSEPH AND SEEBOHM ROWNTREE Ian Packer analyses the interwoven careers of two committed Liberals: Joseph Rowntree(–), founder of the family confectionary firm and the Trusts that still bear his name; and his son, Seebohm Rowntree (–), the businessman and social investigator, best known as the author of Poverty: a Study of Town Life (Macmillan, ). Unique and many- sided individuals, there was nobody else quite like them – though their enthusiasm for the collection and analysis of statistics helped to usher in a time when social investigation would be professionalised and impossible to combine with running a major industrial enterprise.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Most investigations of early twentieth-century Liberalism have centred on the politics of Campbell-Bannerman and Asquith's cabinets, the thought of Liberal intellectuals, and the struggles of local parties.1 But the world of the backbencher remains relatively obscure. When he has been studied, it has usually been in the mass as historians have sought to chart changes in the social background of Liberal MPs or tabulate their opinions, as expressed in parliamentary divisions, on topics like social reform or the relative merits of Asquith and Lloyd George.2 Much less is known about the lives of backbench MPs. This is largely because few of these men left any detailed records. The only published diary of a backbench Liberal MP for this period is that of R.D. Holt, MP for Hexham 1907-1918, and this can be supplemented by a handful of similar sources in archives around the country.3 The letters which Arnold Rowntree wrote to his wife, Mary, while he was MP for York in 1910-1918 provide an important addition to the existing material. They are particularly significant for three reasons. Firstly, Rowntree was, in many ways, a fairly typical Liberal backbencher. He was a middle-aged nonconformist businessman, sitting for a constituency that was his home and the location of his business. But he provides an important corrective to the idea that all men from this background were, like R.D. Holt, necessarily enemies of the New Liberalism. Secondly, Rowntree's letters are not just concerned with parlia- mentary politics. They cover all his interests, including his family, business, and religion and his charitable work.

  • Creating the Slum: Representations of Poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate Districts of York, 1875-1914
    Laura Harrison Ex Historia 61 Laura Harrison1 University of Leeds Creating the slum: representations of poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate districts of York, 1875-1914 In his first social survey of York, B. Seebohm Rowntree described the Walmgate and Hungate areas as ‘the largest poor district in the city’ comprising ‘some typical slum areas’.2 The York Medical Officer of Health condemned the small and fetid yards and alleyways that branched off the main Walmgate thoroughfare in his 1914 report, noting that ‘there are no amenities; it is an absolute slum’.3 Newspapers regularly denounced the behaviour of the area’s residents; reporting on notorious individuals and particular neighbourhoods, and in an 1892 report to the Watch Committee the Chief Constable put the case for more police officers on the account of Walmgate becoming increasingly ‘difficult to manage’.4 James Cave recalled when he was a child the police would only enter Hungate ‘in twos and threes’.5 The Hungate and Walmgate districts were the focus of social surveys and reports, they featured in complaints by sanitary inspectors and the police, and residents were prominent in court and newspaper reports. The area was repeatedly characterised as a slum, and its inhabitants as existing on the edge of acceptable living conditions and behaviour. Condemned as sanitary abominations, observers made explicit connections between the physical condition of these spaces and the moral behaviour of their 1 Laura ([email protected]) is a doctoral candidate at the University of Leeds, and recently submitted her thesis ‘Negotiating the meanings of space: leisure, courtship and the young working class of York, c.1880-1920’.
