Father John is listed as a Railway Signalman. In 1911 they are living at 467 Blackburn Road, Edgworth. John is now listed as a Railway Porter and his son James is a Railway Clerk. The other members of the family of working age are all at the nearby Calico Printworks. Joe is a Colour Mixer; Leonard, a Clerk; Tom, a Labourer; and Norman, a ‘Plaiter Downcroft’. John Thomas Knowles probably died in 1912, aged 48, and his wife Rachel in 1921, aged 52. Joe Knowles (1891-1971) Joe pictured with his mother Rachel Ann and his brother Tom. (Photo by courtesy of Margaret Ollerton – niece of Tom & Joe) Unfortunately, no war record has been found for Joe, but a Medal Rolls Index Card for a Joseph Parker Knowles indicates that he was a Private in the Machine Gun Corps (Regimental No. 104233). He was discharged on 15th April 1919 and awarded The British War and Victory Medals.2 His niece, Margaret Ollerton informs that Joe received a wound to his arm which resulted in limited movement. Joe married Annie Forrest at St Saviour, Bamber Bridge, Preston in 1917. They had at least one child, viz. Albert Parker Knowles born in 1918 in Walton-le-Dale, Preston. Joseph Parker Knowles died in 1971 in Ormskirk.3,5 Leonard Knowles (1894-1937) No photo available Leonard attested on 29th January 1916 and was added to The Army Reserve.2 On 17th February 1917 he married Ada Briggs at St Anne’s, Turton and according to his war record the couple made their home at 84 High Street, Turton before Leonard was mobilised and posted to The Railway Troops of The Royal Engineers as a Sapper on 20th July that year (Regimental No. 289817). He was transferred to The British Expeditionary Force on 12th December 1917. Leonard returned to England on 26th January 1918 and it seems that he spent time in the Military Hospital, Exeter. On 7th May 1918 he was ‘Discharged - no longer physically fit for War Service.’ On his discharge papers he stated that he sought employment as a ‘Clerk to Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Co., Bolton or Bury’. Leonard acknowledged receipt of The British War and Victory Medals on 19th June 1922.2 Leonard married Ada Briggs at St. Anne’s, Turton in 1917, and a son Kenneth was probably born in 1922. Leonard died on 14th March 1937 and is buried at St. Anne’s alongside his wife as shown by the graveyard record:35 Norman Knowles (1897-1916) (Bolton Journal p6 July 20 1917)36 Norman enlisted on 9th October 1916 and joined the Royal Field Artillery. He was just 19. His stated occupation on enlistment was machine minder. He worked at Know Mill Print works –the site of which is under the Wayoh reservoir, Edgworth (at the Entwistle end). On January 11th 1917 he was posted to France and travelled from Folkstone to Boulogne on January 12th. He joined the 1st Battalion of The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment (Regiment No. 35922) on January 16th. On May 25th he was admitted to hospital with a tonsil infection and discharged on June 6th, rejoining his regiment the following day.2 Norman Knowles was killed in action on 6th July 1917. He is buried in Ramscapelle Road military cemetery, Nieuwport, Belgium.15 (Photos courtesy of Margaret Ollerton – a niece of Norman) On December 15th 1917 a letter was sent to the officer in charge of infantry records at Preston requesting that any articles of personal property belonging to the late Pte Norman Knowles and any medals should be” disposed of” to Mrs R A Knowles, 467 Blackburn Road. On January 14th 1918 his private property was posted - 1 cigarette case, 1 watch and chain, 1wallet, 1 photo, 1 cigarette lighter. The British War medal was sent on August 8th 1921 and the Victory medal on February 2nd 1922. His mother had died on March 21st 1921.2 15 Tom Knowles (1895-1957) See photo above Thomas Knowles was born at Bridge Cottage, Entwistle, (now part of the Strawbury Duck) in 1895. Unfortunately, no war record has been found for Tom, but his niece, Margaret Ollerton, informs that Tom was gassed and suffered severe effects from this for the rest of his life. Tom married Marie Abbott on 26th Jan 1924 at St James, Lower Darwen, as shown in the copy of the register below.20 Tom died in 1957 aged 61. The death was registered in Turton33 and probate was awarded to his wife, as also shown below.4,32 Researcher: Alan Woodward Standard References: 1,2,3,4,5,15,32,33,35,36 .

Special Cases MARCH 1979 Introduction The purpose of this Report is to make recommendations for the revision of consents for discharges within the catchment of the River Irwell, downstream to and including the River Medlock in Manchester. This revision has the sole objective of recognising the present effluent and river water quality - proposals for long term river water quality objectives are to be put forward in other Reports. The report identifies the existing situation regarding the legal status of effluent discharges from Authority and non-Authority owned installations within the catchment, details the determinand concentration limits included in existing discharge consents (where appropriate) and proposes the limits to be included in the reviewed consents. The reviewed consents will reflect the quality of efflu­ ent achievable by good operation of the existing plant based on 1977 effluent quality data but taking into account any improvements, extensions etc. that have been or are about to be carried out and any known further industrial and/or housing development in the works drainage area. The proposed limits are intended to be the 95% compliance figures rather than the 80% compliance figures inferred in existing consents and hence the new figures will obviously be higher than the old.

  • THE POLITICS of WATER in EARLY and MID- VICTORIAN BRITAIN: the EXPERIENCE of BOLTON Water, Besides Its Employment As a Consumer
    THE POLITICS OF WATER IN EARLY AND MID- VICTORIAN BRITAIN: THE EXPERIENCE OF BOLTON John Hassan and Peter Tqylor I Water, besides its employment as a consumer good and industrial raw material, has several other, often conflicting uses, and its consumption generates environmental and public health benefits and costs which bear little relation to the private costs and values incurred in its provision. In the Victorian period, given the absence of a national water policy or overall co-ordinating agency, attempts to develop water resources frequently led to clashes between different interest groups. Two groups in particular were active in attempting to control water sources in this period the manufacturers and urban corporations. The former, using a stream as a source of power, or more commonly as a supply of water for use in the production process and as a convenient sink for the discharge of industrial waste, frequently found their interests colliding with those of local authorities wishing to impound the stream in order to supply drinking water. The physical and organizational structures which were created in the course of the water industry's growth, and the rush by individual groups to control resources would be conceptualized later as hydrologically inefficient and irrational.' K. Smith, Water m Britain: a study in applied hydrology and resource geography (London, 1972), pp. 128-9; E. Porter, Water management in England and Wales (Cambridge, 1978), pp. 24-34. 120 John Hassan and Peter Taylor Such outcomes can also be viewed from the economist's perspective as the predictable consequences of the application of a weak, arms-length regulatory regime to the exploitation of a natural resource exhibiting pronounced multiple- and conflicting-use and natural monopoly characteristics.- In particular two types of distortion arose in the course of the Victorian scramble for sources, recognized by contemporaries,3 if analysed and regretted more fully by later observers blessed with hindsight.
