  • Memories of Growing up in Rural South-West England in the Early Twentieth Century
    Rural History (2020), 31, 165–180 doi:10.1017/S0956793320000199 RESEARCH ARTICLE ‘There wasn’t all that much to do ::: at least not here’: memories of growing up in rural south-west England in the early twentieth century Laura Harrison Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries, and Education, University of the West of England, Bristol, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] Abstract Stan was born in 1911 in a small village near the north Somerset coast. When recalling his life in the coun- tryside, he felt that ‘there wasn’t much to do in the evenings ::: at least not here’. Drawing upon evidence from personal accounts of growing up in the south-west of England in the early twentieth century, this article examines memories of youth in the countryside, with a particular focus on the leisure lives of young people and their experiences of rural space and place. In addition to adding to our knowledge on the lives of rural youth, this study also provides new insights into the complex relationship between people and their environment, and has implications for our understandings of the early formation of a distinct youthful identity in England. The countryside was not simply a backdrop in these recollections; rather, it was for- mative in how those that grew up in rural communities understood their experience of being young. Introduction Stan was born in 1911 in a small village near the north Somerset coast, and grew up in what he described as a ‘typical country cottage’. He felt that ‘there wasn’t all that much to do in the eve- nings’, adding ‘there were no such things as cinemas being opened, for instance, and dance halls and other entertainments, at least not here’.1 Harry, who grew up in Uley, Gloucestershire, spent his childhood exploring the fields and lanes of the village and surrounding countryside, but also remembered that ‘entertainment in rural areas was sparse, except self-created jokes and fun’.

We give a last look back to the celebrations of Christmas – 40 days ago – and our attention is now drawn towards Lent, which starts this year at the end of February. Just before Lent comes Shrove Tuesday – often referred to as Pancake Day or Mardi Gras (derived from the French for Fat Tuesday). Both these latter terms remind us that traditionally on this day all the rich foods left in the house – typified by milk, eggs, sugar and fat - were consumed before the harsh necessities of the Lenten Fast started. But why Shrove Tuesday? Shrove is an old word – the past tense for ‘shrive’ which similarly is unfamiliar.
