  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

That article-The Historical Development of the Fault Principle:A Reinterpretation'-isone among a number of influ- ential, widely admired papers that Rabin has written on central topics in the law of torts.2 This Festschrift has provided the pleasurable op- portunity to revisit several of these papers and to discover that they are even richer and more instructive than I remembered. We-or at least I-remember important papers by recalling their fundamental claims and insights. There is much to be said for this form of mental indexing, but one of its costs is forgetting the enormous richness of genuinely distinguished papers. The best papers resist reduction even to their general lessons.

    This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized by Google as part of an ongoing effort to preserve the information in books and make it universally accessible. https://books.google.com Saddle worth ^KETCHES. I Saddleworth Sketches JOSEPH BRADBURY. OLDHAM : HIRST & RENNIE. MANCHESTER: JOHN HEYWOOD. LONDON : SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, & Co. PUBLISHERS' PREFACE. ANY of the Sketches composing the present volume appeared in the Oldham Chronicle during the winter months of 1870-1, and, in reprinting them in a more permanent form, no attempt has been made to give them the character of a History of Saddleworth. The original idea of their writer, Mr. Joseph Brad bury, has been adhered to, but, in consequence of his prolonged absence from Oldham, he has not been able to undertake the revision. One of the Sketches has been omitted, the others to some extent con densed, and the whole carefully corrected, so that it is hoped errors in circumstances and dates have been minimised, if not altogether avoided. During the task of revision, interesting material accumulated rapidly, and much has necessarily been omitted in order that the book might not become too bulky. The additions, for which Mr. Bradbury is not responsible, are the paper on "Rush Bearing in the Olden Time," kindly placed at our disposal by G. Shaw, Esq., and the three chapters following the Table of Chronology. The only considerable additions in the other Sketches are the additional facts and speculations in connection with the Green field murder, extending from page 17 to 34, and a few anecdotes respect ing the Rev.

  • The Whitaker Mill, 1813-1843: a Case Study of Workers, Technology and Community in Early Industrial Philadelphia
    Mary McConaghy THE WHITAKER MILL, 1813-1843: A CASE STUDY OF WORKERS, TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNITY IN EARLY INDUSTRIAL PHILADELPHIA IN 1813 an English immigrant named Henry Whitaker began construction of a mill village at Cedar Grove, on the Tacony Creek in rural northeast Philadelphia County.' At this time, Philadelphia was the largest industrial center and major producer of textiles in the United States. But because Philadelphia's early textile mills employed water rather than steam power, they were located not in the city itself nor along the Delaware River. Instead mill owners settled first on the rural fringes of the city in search of swifter rivers and streams,2 including even as minor a source of power as the Tacony branch of Frankford Creek. Despite the emergence of a few textile giants such as Joseph Ripka in Manayunk, the bulk of the early textile mills, including the Whitaker enterprise, were quite modest in scale, limited by access to both water power and capital. However, despite the Whitaker mill's characteristic size and location, the history of its first three decades cannot be considered a microcosm of the entire Industrial Revolution, nor even of the early Philadelphia textile industry. This was a time of experimentation, when technology, the organization of production, worker participation, ideological frame- works, and political and social controls assumed a variety of changing forms. The Whitaker mill is but an example of one early industrial situation and of one set of responses to more widely felt changes and events. Throughout the following outline of the Whitaker mill's early organization and development, the emphasis is on the position and 30 THE WHITAKER MILL 31 perspective of the worker within the mill community.
