    5 Racing culture: the racecourse and racecourse life hile people could not avoid having views on racing only a minority Wactually attended race-meetings, and it is to the cultural and social life of the racegoing public that we now turn. The anticipatory thrill of travel was important, and a first section deals briefly with changes in travel over the period. A following more substantial section deals with social relationships, behaviour and attendance in relation to social class and gender. Changes and continuities in the comfort and facilities of the course, and in the ancillary activities such as sideshows, food and drink provision, tipsters or bookmakers are next explored, before the chapter concludes with an assessment of the ‘moral panic’ associated with the racecourse crime of the early 1920s. Transport Travel to the races was important to the racing experience. Changes in the domi- nant mode of transport, with their implications for conspicuous display, social interaction, and patterns of accommodation use in the racing towns, form a peripheral but important theme in the social history of racing. As a sport with its roots in rural horse-owning life, racing, and especially steeplechase and point-to- point meetings, still attracted rural dwellers travelling on horseback in the early 1920s, as entrance figures show, although motor enclosures were raising more than twice as much revenue by the later 1920s. Carriages became rare, although the larger four-in-hand coach was to be found occasionally at Epsom for the Derby, at Ascot, or at more prestigious point-to-points. Their continued appeal was partly sentimental.

  • U DX150 Photocopies of Handbills and Posters 1778 - [1928] Mainly Relating to Beverley
    Hull History Centre: Photocopies of Handbills and Posters mainly relating to Beverley U DX150 Photocopies of Handbills and Posters 1778 - [1928] mainly relating to Beverley Historical background: Beverley (initially named Inderawuda) was founded in the 7th century with the building of a church by the Bishop of York, later venerated as Saint John of Beverley. Throughout the early and later Middle Ages, the town’s connection with John led to it prospering as a centre of pilgrimage. In the tenth century, the town was renamed Bevreli or Beverlac and had established itself as one of the pre-eminent Christian centres in Northern England alongside York and Ripon. During this period, Beverley also became a significant centre for trade, particularly in textiles and leather. Beverley was spared during the Harrying of the North, after the Norman Conquest, owing to its saintly history and continued to grow, being granted borough status in 1122. Around this time, Beverley also became a noted centre for the wool trade. A dispute between local farmers and the church in the 13th century led to the establishment of pasture rights on the Westwood and other areas, which continues to this day. By 1377, Beverley had become the 10th largest town in England. The Reformation had a significant impact on Beverley’s status, dealing a heavy blow to its pilgrimage trade. Beverley Minister was almost dismantled for its stone and lead, but was saved by the townspeople. Despite this, it was granted its own mayor under Elizabeth I. The Civil War brought Beverley into a greater rivalry with its close neighbour, Kingston-upon- Hull.

  • Brochure 13057
    CHAIRLADY’S MESSAGE Welcome to our 2018 rally brochure. This is my second year as Chairlady and now that I have got my first year ‘under my belt’ I think we may enjoy this year even more. Simon and I would like to thank you all for the support you have given us throughout our first year. The centre held 35 rallies in 2017 and there was a mixture of venues and activities to choose from. I would like to thank all the Marshals for giving their time in organising and running these rallies for our enjoyment. Rallying is a great social encounter for everyone, young, old and the whole family and South Yorkshire Centre keeps some fine traditions including our Centre Queen and our Carnival Floats of which we are truly proud. The Centre Queen is crowned at our May Day rally and we have 3 carnival rallies at which we enter a Queens float and a South Yorkshire Centre float which in 2018 is themed around ‘Back to School’. So, get those school uniforms on and join in. You will see in this brochure that once again there is a wide variety of rallies to offer. If you are new and aren’t quite sure if rallying is for you give the Rally Marshal or a Committee member a call. I am sure they will answer all your questions and put you at ease. I would like to thank the land owners, site managers and farmers who allow us to use their land and facilities. Please show consideration for their property by noting ‘out of bounds’ areas and follow the centre rally rules with regards to the Red Flag should it be raised.
