    blo gs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/archives/26897 ‘The Truth’ of the Hillsborough disaster is only 23 years late John Williams was present on the fateful day in April of 1989. He places the event within its historical and sociological context, and looks at the slow process that finally led to the truth being revealed. I have to begin by saying – rather pretentiously some might reasonably argue – that I am a ‘f an scholar’, an active Liverpool season ticket holder and a prof essional f ootball researcher. I had f ollowed my club on that FA Cup run of 1989 (Hull City away, Brentf ord at home) and was at Hillsborough on the 15 April – f ortunately saf ely in the seats. But I saw all the on- pitch distress and the bodies being laid out below the stand f rom which we watched in disbelief as events unf olded on that awf ul day. Fans carrying the injured and the dying on advertising boards: where were the ambulances? As the stadium and the chaos f inally cleared, Football Trust of f icials (I had worked on projects f or the Trust) asked me to take people f rom the f ootball organisations around the site of the tragedy to try to explain what had happened. It was a bleak terrain: twisted metal barriers and human detritus – scarves, odd shoes and pairs of spectacles Scarve s and flag s at the Hillsb o ro ug h me mo rial, Anfie ld .

  • The Buzz Autumn 2020
    BARNSLEY AND DISTRICT U3A Internet: Barnsley U3A / Charity no. 1077654 Send info. and photos to: [email protected] 1 These are very difficult and challenging times for everybody and none more so than for our particular age group. However, despite this and the present U3A closedown, we have been absolutely overwhelmed by your response to our membership renewal process. Over 1,150 of you have renewed your subscriptions. Our concern now, though, is that with such support from our members, we have very little to offer by way of our normal activities. I know that a lot of you are having virtual meetings and using the technology to good effect but this is not what we are really about. The need for physical interaction is what the U3A movement is founded upon. However, video conferencing is a helpful substitute in the circumstances within which we find ourselves, and many members are building up new found knowledge and confidence in the technology, which will potentially also prove beneficial in the longer term. Like many of you, I had never heard of ‘Zoom’ prior to March of this year but now I am logging in to it on a regular basis. The Executive Committee is meeting every two weeks on ‘Zoom’ and we are having regular Coordinators’ meetings. In addition, we have started to run the monthly meetings in this way. The July meeting got us off to a good start with around fifty members joining in. Then, at the August meeting we had over sixty tuning in to keep up to date with the latest news and to listen to a brilliantly interesting and entertaining presentation from two of our members, Andrew and Sue Green.

  • Hillsborough Hall & Hillsborough Park
    HILLSBOROUGH HALL & HILLSBOROUGH PARK The Steades Thomas Steade was the builder of Hillsborough Hall. He was the son of Nicholas Steade and Anne Micklethwaite and was born on 16 March 1728 at Ecclesfield. He married Millicent (Meliscent) Pegge, who was the daughter of Strelley Pegge of Beauchief and Mary Broughton from Lowdham, on 30 April 1768. He was a magistrate and he died in 1793. Hillsborough House was built in 1779 as a dwelling for Thomas and his wife Meliscent who had been living in nearby Burrowlee House, which is situated just 250 metres to the east. The Steades were a family of local of landowners whose history went back to the 14th century. At the time of construction the house stood in rural countryside well outside the Sheffield boundary. Steade named his new residence in honour of Wills Hill who at the time was known as the Earl of Hillsborough (later Lord Downside of Hillsborough, County Down), an eminent politician of the period and a patron of the Steades. Steade acquired more land and the grounds eventually had an area of 103 acres (0.42 km2). They were much more extensive than the present Hillsborough Park, stretching north to the current junction of Leppings Lane and Penistone Road and included the site on which Hillsborough Stadium now stands. It extended further south encompassing the site now occupied by the Hillsborough arena. The grounds had areas given over to agriculture but there was also extensive parkland featuring a lake, two lodges and a tree lined avenue. There was also a walled garden, which still exists today, which provided fresh produce for the house’s kitchens.

It’s always proved difficult to find positive results against todays opponents, the last of which was in this fixture last season when I took temporary charge in the touch- line absences of Simon & Jason the win coming after an early goal wrestled the ini- tiative and saw us weather a second-half storm to run out 1 nil winners. Hallam’s current form looks very positive with just one defeat in their last seven games in what apparently was a feisty affair at home to a resurgent Rossington Main side. I understand Hallam ended the game with just eight players on the pitch after a sending-off and two sin-bins. Let’s hope todays clash isn’t quite so feisty. Last Saturday’s result against a “dogged” Dronfield Town was particularly disap- pointing given how we dominated play for virtually the whole of the ninety minutes, missed chances cost us badly.

However, it wasn’t until between 1550 and 1700 that the industry expanded (Hill 2001, 54). These early mines were shallow, relatively small scale, short-lived operations because there were few transport links beyond local markets. These mines left few traces on the landscape and many did not survive long enough to be marked on the 1850s Ordnance Survey maps. This style of mining continued into the early 19 th century but the coming of railways in the mid 19 th and 20 th century and the building of the canals facilitated greater expansion. The greatest density of coal seams in the South Yorkshire coalfield was along the centre of the coal measures running through the east of Barnsley. This meant that although these seams had been worked for half a century longer than the concealed coal measures east of Barnsley there were similar reserves remaining (ibid, 14).
