  • Mrs. G. Linnæus Banks the Manchester Man (1874
    MRS. G. LINNÆUS BANKS THE MANCHESTER MAN (1874) CHAPTER I THE FLOOD When Pliny lost his life, and Herculaneum was buried, Manchester was born. Whilst lava and ashes blotted from sight and memory fair and luxurious Roman cities close to the Capitol, the Roman soldiery of Titus, under their general Agricola, laid the foundations of a distant city now competes with the great cities of the world. Where now rise forests of tall chimneys, and the hum of whirling spindles, spread the dense woods of Arden;--and from the clearing in their midst rose the Roman castrum of Mamutium, which has left its name of Castle Field as a memorial to us. But where their summer camp is said to have been pitched, on the airy rock at the confluence of the rivers Irk and Irwell, sacred church and peaceful college have stood for centuries, and only antiquaries can point to Roman possession, or even to the baronial hall which the Saxon lord perched there for security. And only an antiquary or a very old inhabitant can recall Manchester as it was at the close of the last century; and shutting his eyes upon railway-arch, station, and esplanade, upon Palatine buildings, broad roadways, and river embankments, can see the Irk and the Irwell as they were when the Cathedral was the Collegiate Church, with a diminutive brick wall three parts round its ancient graveyard. Then the irregular-fronted rows of quaint old houses which still, under the name of Half Street, crowd upon two sides of the churchyard, with only an intervening strip of a flagged walk between, closed it up on a third side, and shut the river (lying low beneath) from the view, with a huddled mass of still older dwellings, some of which were thrust out of sight, and were only to be reached by flights of break-neck steps of rock or stone, and like their hoary fellows creeping down the narrow roadway of Hunt's Bank, overhung the Irwell, and threatened to topple into it some day.

Some- time in the twelfth century Dolphin de Heleya was living here ; he had three sons-Henry, Adam and Andrew. John, the son of Henry, had issue two sons, Andrew and Adam ; he died about the year 1272, seised of a messuage at Heleya.l Adam, the son of Dolphin, confirmed to his brother Henry lands in Castleton early in the next century, and his name as a witness appears frequently in charters relating to lands in Whitworth about 1238, as do also those of Adam the son of William de Heleya, William the son of Peter de Heleya, and Henry de Heleya.2 In 1273 Henry de Merlond granted land to John de Heleya, on the marriage of Amicia his daughter to Andrew the son of John de Heleya .3 There was also then living Richard the son of Anketillus de Heleya, who granted a bovate of land in Heleya to Stanlawe ; probably it was the same Anketillus the son of Andrew chaplain of Rochdale, who by deed without date confirmed to his brother Clement a bovate of land in Heleya and an " assart " which his brother Alexander had " assarted."

  • 16Th Century Salford Portmoot Records
    n8 SIXTEENTH CENTURY SALFORD PORTMOOT RECORDS MONG the muniments of the Clifton family of Lytham, A which have recently been deposited in the Lancashire County Record Office, are two rolls of proceedings in the Salford Wapentake Court for the years 1540-1 and 1546-7. As was the practice in the sixteenth century, there are appended to the rolls the records of the Salford Portmoot. The records of this court are very fragmentary and are in several different custodies. In the Public Record Office are those for 1510, 1513, 1514, 1515, 1522, 1523, 1526, 1530, 1531, and 1594. These have been published by the Chetham Society, N.S., 80. Among the Raines MSS. in the Chetham Library is a transcript of a roll of 1559, the original of which is missing. This has been published by the same Society, N.S., 94, together with the records for 1728 to 1735 inclusive, which are in the custody of the Registrar of the Salford Hundred Court of Record. In the custody of the Town Clerk of Salford are the records for the years 1597 to 1669 in­ clusive, which have also been published by the Chetham Society, N.S., 46 and 48. In order to complete the publication of the records of the Salford Portmoot the newly-discovered rolls are here printed. There is little to add to the introductions written by Professor Tait in Chetham Society, N.S., 80 and 94, except perhaps to draw attention to the greater number of admissions than "are shown in the other rolls, and especially to the disputed admission of James Williamson in 1546.

James Nasmyth (1808-90) was one of the most famous engineers of his time and his role in the engineering industry has been the subject of numerous printed accounts, incl. his Autobiography (edited by Samuel Smiles, 1863). The subject of this role has been treated so thoroughly by Mr. J.A. Cantrell in his book, James Nasmyth and the Bridgewater Foundry;a study of entrepreneurship in the early engineering industry Xbhetham Society, series III, vol. 51, Manchester University Press, 1985), which includes a bibliography, that no additional printed sources are referred to in this introduction. The book is quoted below in this catalogue under the short title James Nasmyth and the Bridgewater Foundry. Mr. Cantrell has also generously made a deposit (ref.iU26$) of his collection compiled during his studies of James Nasmyth to help users of the following "records. The catalogue for this collection should be consulted to see what material this collection contains.
