ANF – Living in Aireborough Research Synthesis
Aireborough Neighbourhood Forum Research Synthesis ANF – Living in Aireborough Research Synthesis This document contains a synthesis of all the research data that was received from the first stage of a Grounded Theory, qualitative, inductive, research programme: it is not an interpretive report. The work was carried out between June 2012 and April 2013 regarding, what people like, dislike and want to improve about Aireborough. In all research and consultation people have been asked what they do like, followed by what they would like to see improved. The place awareness walks, allowed people to identify particular hot spots and treasures in their area. Aireborough in this case primarily refers to Guiseley, Yeadon, Hawksworth and High Royds: Rawdon is not included in this instance as it has it’s own parish council, however Rawdon is part of the Leeds district of Aireborough, and much of the content of this document is applicable to Rawdon. Research has been synthesised from the following sources, with the aim of covering a wide range of residents, and some businesses:- • Six thinking hat qualitative research June – October 2012 (92 responses including those aged around 16, and those aged around 90) • Local Representative in depth interviews – Summer 2012 (6 responses) • ANF workshop exercises, specifically Mapping Aireborough - February 2012 (52 detailed responses including place awareness walks. And 20 emails with different views.) • Pop Up Exhibition (30 responses from key questions posed ) • Airborough Youth Forum Conference, Schools Drawing and Poetry competitions – March 2013 (over 100 children aged 6 to 17 ) More detailed business research and other primary and secondary evidence gathering for the Neighbourhood Plan is currently underway. -

Maurice Warwick Beresford 1920–2005
02 Beresford 1722 13/11/09 13:19 Page 18 MAURICE BERESFORD Zygmunt Bauman University of Leeds 02 Beresford 1722 13/11/09 13:19 Page 19 Maurice Warwick Beresford 1920–2005 MAURICE BERESFORD, economic and social historian born in Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire on 6 February 1920, was the only child of Harry Bertram Beresford and Nora Elizabeth Beresford (née Jefferies). Both sides of the family had their roots in the Birmingham area. Presumably his parents met when they were both living in Handsworth and working in a chemist’s company; on their marriage certificate of 1915 his father is described as a despatch clerk and his mother as an assistant. By the time Maurice was born his father had risen to the rank of ‘Departmental Manager in Wholesale Druggists Warehouse’, a position he continued to hold until his early death aged 46 in 1934. Maurice continued to live with his widowed mother in the Sutton Coldfield area and later in Yorkshire until her death in Adel, Leeds, aged 79, in 1966. As the family was of modest financial means, the more so after his father’s death, all of Maurice’s schooling was local to Sutton Coldfield (Boldmere Council Infants, 1925–6: Green Lanes Senior Boys, 1926–30: Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School, 1930–8). At Bishop Vesey’s, as he was later to recount,1 two masters in particular influenced the course of his life; William Roberts, a ‘stimulating history master’ and William Sutton— ‘a terrifying and rigorous geography master who made map reading as natural and interesting as reading a novel or a play’. -

Ilistgrv of Business in Thorqer 1900-2000
33 1 97499,331 80786, 33201655, 33195054 Ilistgrv of Business in Thorqer 1900-2000 The town of Thomer is an idyllic little town less than ten miles away from Leeds which is steeped in history. First mentioned in the Doomsday book, Thorner has grown slowly, preferring to stay as a small rural community and avoiding the population expansion that seemed to plague lots of smaller towns during and after the Industrial Revolution. It has always been in part a farming community, with other industries making an appearance over time such as cotton, flax and limestone quarrying just to mention a few. However, Thomer was always a relatively self-sufficient town, its inhabitants performing all of the jobs necessary for a town to run effectively with butchers, doctors, shop-keepers and bakers merging with the resident farmers to mean that Thorner was, to a lmge degree, self-sufficient. However, as with all things, as time progressed and as technologies came about and prices for transport fell, the self-suffrciency of Thorner began to wane as more and more people flocked towards the larger population centres. This trend continued until we arrived where we are today, with picturesque towns like Thomer becoming transformed into cornmuter towns for people who wished to live outside the cities, but not so far enough away as to make it unfeasibte for them to travel to these cities to work each day. However, even with the small towns iike Thomer, the issue ofjust what has gone before is one which can sometimes be difficult to address. The history of such towns is at times sparse due to their small nature; however Thorner is unlike many other smaller towns due to T.W Brown's book 'The Making of a Yorkshire Village'. -
