  • The Carrying Trade and the First Railways in England, C1750-C1850
    The Carrying Trade and the First Railways in England, c1750-c1850 Carolyn Dougherty PhD University of York Railway Studies November 2018 Abstract Transport and economic historians generally consider the change from moving goods principally on roads, inland waterways and coastal ships to moving them principally on railways as inevitable, unproblematic, and the result of technological improvements. While the benefits of rail travel were so clear that most other modes of passenger transport disappeared once rail service was introduced, railway goods transport did not offer as obvious an improvement over the existing goods transport network, known as the carrying trade. Initially most railways were open to the carrying trade, but by the 1840s railway companies began to provide goods carriage and exclude carriers from their lines. The resulting conflict over how, and by whom, goods would be transported on railways, known as the carrying question, lasted more than a decade, and railway companies did not come to dominate domestic goods carriage until the 1850s. In this study I develop a fuller picture of the carrying trade than currently exists, highlighting its multimodal collaborative structure and setting it within the ‘sociable economy’ of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England. I contrast this economy with the business model of joint-stock companies, including railway companies, and investigate responses to the business practices of these companies. I analyse the debate over railway company goods carriage, and identify changes in goods transport resulting from its introduction. Finally, I describe the development and outcome of the carrying question, showing that railway companies faced resistance to their attempts to control goods carriage on rail lines not only from the carrying trade but also from customers of goods transport, the government and the general public.

SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. In connection with the marvellous growth of our railway system there is nothing of so paramount importance and interest as the evolution of the locomotive steam engine.

  • 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.

  • Engines for Erebus and Terror Was Almost Certainly Taken Sometime in the Middle of February, Even Though Admiralty Approval Was Not Given Officially Until 1 March
    Page !77 of !111 Finding the Engines As we’ve now established, Joshua Field knew from experience that the size of engine required for Erebus and Terror was 30 NHP, which was sufficient to move the ships along at up to 5 miles per hour. However, it quickly became apparent that there was not enough time to design and build new auxiliary machinery to suit. Consequently, the firm suggested that second-hand railway engines be adapted instead, a proposal accepted by the Admiralty on 1 March 1845 “on condition that the machinery is made perfectly efficient.”136 How this was achieved has not been recorded, although as Pambour relates, such work could potentially be extensive: “… what is meant by repairs to the engines, is nothing less than their complete re-construction; that is to say, that when an engine requires any repair, unless it be for some trifling accident, it is taken to pieces and a new one is constructed, which receives that same name as the first, and in the construction of which are made to serve all such parts of the old engine as are still capable of being used with advantage. The consequence of this is, that a re-constructed or repaired engine is literally a new one. The repairs amount thus to considerable sums, but they include also the renewal of the engines.”137 The key questions would be how worn the second-hand locomotives were when they arrived at the Maudslay workshop; and what specific modifications were required before they could be installed on board Erebus and Terror? The type of locomotive selected was, of course, critical.

  • Locomotive Fuel on the Boston and Providence Rail Road
    Locomotive fuel on the Boston and Providence Rail Road Harry Chase 2012 1. Introduction The Boston and Providence Rail Road opened its 42-mile main line between the capital cities of Massachusetts and Rhode Island in 1835. The railroad operated as an independent corporation until 1888, when it was leased by the Old Colony Railroad. During its 53-year history the Boston and Providence burned first wood and then bituminous (“soft”) coal in its approximately 124 steam locomotives and experimented with coke, anthracite (“hard”) coal and oil. This monograph contains a brief account of each of the fuels used in the railroad’s locomotives during its corporate history and the rationale for converting from one fuel to another. 2. Wood In Europe, wood had been tried for its cheapness as locomotive fuel but was given up in favor of coal and coke largely because of the greater availability of fossil fuel, and also because of the annoying and even dangerous sparks that issued from the smokestacks of wood-burning engines. In the United States, wood was much more easily available and generally cheaper than other fuels, and for many years was commonly burned in locomotives; while sparks were less of a problem in the thinly settled countryside through which American railroads ran. Ingenious spark-catching devices were invented, including the popular “diamond stack” devised by Boston and Providence master mechanic George S. Griggs. [1] Spark arresters were not always effective. British travelers, who at home were accustomed to engines that burned fossil fuel, were entranced by the sparks thrown by American wood-burners.
