The Walls but on the Rampart Underneath and the Ditch Surrounding Them
A walk through 1,900 years of history The Bar Walls of York are the finest and most complete of any town in England. There are five main “bars” (big gateways), one postern (a small gateway) one Victorian gateway, and 45 towers. At two miles (3.4 kilometres), they are also the longest town walls in the country. Allow two hours to walk around the entire circuit. In medieval times the defence of the city relied not just on the walls but on the rampart underneath and the ditch surrounding them. The ditch, which has been filled in almost everywhere, was once 60 feet (18.3m) wide and 10 feet (3m) deep! The Walls are generally 13 feet (4m) high and 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The rampart on which they stand is up to 30 feet high (9m) and 100 feet (30m) wide and conceals the earlier defences built by Romans, Vikings and Normans. The Roman defences The Normans In AD71 the Roman 9th Legion arrived at the strategic spot where It took William The Conqueror two years to move north after his the rivers Ouse and Foss met. They quickly set about building a victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. In 1068 anti-Norman sound set of defences, as the local tribe –the Brigantes – were not sentiment in the north was gathering steam around York. very friendly. However, when William marched north to quell the potential for rebellion his advance caused such alarm that he entered the city The first defences were simple: a ditch, an embankment made of unopposed.

The phrase ‘economy of makeshifts’ has often been used to summarise the patchy, disparate and sometimes failing 1700–1850 strategies of the poor for material survival. Incomes or benefits derived through the ‘economy’ ranged from wages supported by under-employment via petty crime through to charity; however, An economy of makeshifts until now, discussions of this array of makeshifts usually fall short of answering vital questions about how and when the poor secured access to them. This book represents the single most significant attempt in print to supply the English ‘economy of makeshifts’ with a solid, empirical basis and to advance the concept of makeshifts from a vague but convenient label to a more precise yet inclusive definition. 1700–1850 Individual chapters written by some of the leading, emerging historians of welfare examine how advantages gained from access to common land, mobilisation of kinship support, crime, and other marginal resources could prop up struggling households.

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’.

Roman York: from the Core to the Periphery
PROCEEDINGS OF THE WORLD CLASS HERITAGE CONFERENCE, 2011 Sponsored by York Archaeological Forum Roman York, from the Core to the Periphery: an Introduction to the Big Picture Patrick Ottaway PJO Archaeology Introduction Amongst the objectives of the 2012 World Class Heritage conference was a review of some of the principal research themes in York’s archaeology in terms both of what had been achieved since the publication of the York Development and Archaeology Study in 1991 (the ‘Ove Arup Report’) and of what might be achieved in years to come. As far as the Roman period is concerned, one of the more important developments of the last twenty years may be found in the new opportunities for research into the relationship between, on the one hand, the fortress and principal civilian settlements, north-east and south-west of the Ouse, - ‘the core’ – and, on the other hand, the surrounding region, in particular a hinterland zone within c. 3-4 km of the city centre, roughly between the inner and outer ring roads – ‘the periphery’. This development represents one of the more successful outcomes from the list of recommended projects in the Ove Arup report, amongst which was ‘The Hinterland Survey’ (Project 7, p.33). Furthermore, it responds to the essay in the Technical Appendix to the Arup report in which Steve Roskams stresses that it is crucial to study York in its regional context if we are to understand it in relation to an ‘analysis of Roman imperialism’ (see also Roskams 1999). The use of the term ‘imperialism’ here gives a political edge to a historical process more often known as ‘Romanisation’ for which, in Britain, material culture is the principal evidence in respect of agriculture, religion, society, technology, the arts and so forth.

New Thames bridges. Better architecture. A new planning policy for London. These four topics were the focus of an English Heritage debate held on 29 May before an invited audience of developers, architects, journalists and policy makers at the Royal College of Physicians. Philip Davies reports ‘London – planning change in a world city’, chaired by the broadcaster and journalist Kirsty Wark, provided a rare opportunity for some of London’s key figures to discuss the future of London and to set out their vision for the capital. The Challenge London faces serious challenges to its distinctive character. Plans for towers of an unprecedented scale and height, and for new and enlarged bridges across the Thames, could change forever the way the city looks and functions. Successive surveys have confirmed that people and businesses are attracted to London not only as the centre of government, communications and financial expertise, but also because it has retained its sense of history and the diversity of its built heritage.

Pubs in England represent an important locus for regional development and rejuvenation, particularly in rural areas where they act as hubs for social aggregation and economic activity. Generally, village pubs are regarded as complementarities to other local services and amenities that exist within the area, such as sporting events, volunteering and charity initiatives, as well as business activities. This paper provides empirical support for this proposition by estimating the impact of pubs on an index measure of community cohesion. Using data from 715 rural parishes located across Northern England, the paper demonstrates the importance of pubs for maintaining rural areas in these regions.

BA(Hons), MA Master of Arts by Research in Archaeological Studies University of York. Archaeology. March 2020 Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the landscape and settlement of a little understood area of the city of York. Drawing on archaeological data and landscape analysis it aims to present a picture of how this area developed between the mid-9th and mid-16th centuries. Archaeological data is drawn from those excavations which reached period appropriate deposits, whilst landscape data is drawn from maps, plans, photographs and documentary sources. GIS software and historic maps have been used to illustrate this development. Evidence from earlier periods will also be outlined in order to illustrate their influence, if any, upon the medieval landscape. 2 Contents: Abstract 2 List of Contents 3 Abbreviations 3 List of Maps 4 List of Plates 5 Acknowledgements. 6 Declaration 6 Chapter 1: Introduction to Urban and Landscape Studies. 7 Chapter 2: Sources of Evidence and Methodology. 14 Chapter 3: Zone 1: Bishophill Senior, The Urban Core. 22 Chapter 4: Zone 2: Clementhorpe, The Suburb. 38 Chapter 5: Zone 3: Middlethorpe, The Rural Hinterland. 45 Chapter 6: Landscape and Settlement. 52 Chapter 7: Final thoughts and questions arising. 68 Bibliography. 76 Abbreviations RCHM(E) Royal Commission for Historic Monuments (England) VCH Victoria County History YAT York Archaeological Trust YATGAZ YAT archive of archaeology (online resource) YCHCCAA York Central Historic Core Conservation Area Appraisal.
