  • Wakefield Rural Statistics, Charts and Maps Describing Wakefield's Area Working Areas
    InstantAtlas™ Server 6 Wakefield Seven Area Profile Selection: Wakefield Rural Statistics, charts and maps describing Wakefield's Area Working areas. Introduction A wide variety of social, economic and cultural conditions exist across the Wakefield district, and these combine to create a patchwork of distinctive communities and neighbourhoods. These differences may prompt agencies to deliver services in particular ways and the priorities for local people in one area may be different to those of people living in another area. The Wakefield Together area working model has been developed to reflect and address the differences that exist across the district. For the purposes of area working, the district is divided into seven areas: Castleford; Normanton and Featherstone; Pontefract and Knottingley; South East; Wakefield Central; Wakefield North West; and Wakefield Rural. Some of the seven areas also include ‘priority neighbourhoods’ where intelligence suggests that specific targeted support is required. There are 12 priority neighbourhoods in the district overall. The Council’s Performance and Intelligence Team, collaborating with partners, has developed a set of more detailed reports to focus on each of the seven areas in turn. This report focuses on the Wakefield Rural area. The aim of the report is to help people understand local conditions and the changes that occur over time. The report draws on both quantitative and qualitative information from a wide range of sources – both national and local. Profile created: 9/1/2017 Key Points Population Profile The proportion of people satisfied with their local area as a place to live is higher that the district average. The age profile of the population is older than the district average and has aged over the past 10 years - older people now make up a higher proportion of the population.

  • Sport and the Victorian City
    Sport and the Victorian City: The development of commercialised spectator sport, Bradford 1836-1908 David Pendleton A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of De Montfort University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Abstract This study is a history of popular spectator sport in the city of Bradford between the years 1836 and 1908. Its major aim is to chart and analyse the experience of Bradford in relation to the national development of sport in the modern city and how spectator sport, in particular, helped shape personal and civic identities in a bourgeoning industrial community. This project builds on a growing body of work on the development of sport and leisure in British towns and cities during the nineteenth century. Furthermore, it will both complement earlier studies on sport in Bradford and West Yorkshire and add to our understanding of how urban sporting and leisure cultures were forged through a combination of national trends and local economic and social peculiarities. The emergence of a national sporting culture ran parallel with an exponential acceleration in urbanisation, the adoption of the factory system, regularised working hours and growth in disposable income. Bradford’s sporting culture, however, was also a product of the city’s shifting social structures, which had been shaped by its unique economy. As a consequence, Bradford also played a significant role in determining the national sporting culture as well as reflecting wider trends. !i Bradford’s move from an essentially pre-industrial sporting landscape towards a recognisably modern one took place over a period of little more than fifty years.
