  • Joseph Chamberlain - an Introduction
    Joseph Chamberlain - An Introduction Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914) was a social reformer, radical politician and Imperialist, who despite never becoming Prime Minister, was one of the leading political figures of late Victorian and early Edwardian Britain. Chamberlain became a major figure in national politics and played an important and often controversial role in the major political issues of his day such as Irish Home Rule, The Anglo-Boer War (1849-1902) and international tariffs. Throughout his career Chamberlain retained a strong political base in Birmingham which was known as his ‘Duchy’ and centred on his home of Highbury. Chamberlain aged 18 joined his uncle's screw-making business, Nettlefolds of Birmingham, in which his father had invested. During the business's most prosperous period, it produced two-thirds of all metal screws made in England, and by the time of Chamberlain's retirement from business in 1874 it was exporting worldwide. He was a self-made businessman, who never attended university and had contempt for the aristocracy. By his late 30s he had made enough money to retire, but had developed an appetite for local politics and in 1867 joined what was then Birmingham town council. "He was strongly influenced to enter into politics by the Unitarian church, who believed the only form of faith was what they called 'up and doing' - putting a civic gospel into practice," said Dr Ian Cawood, from Newman University in Birmingham. Chamberlain became mayor of Birmingham in 1873, which was not granted city status until 1889. His party inherited the city's municipal administration, which was notably lax with regards to public works, and many urban dwellers lived in conditions of great poverty.

  • Bells in and Around Birmingham: a Survey and History
    BELLS IN AND AROUND BIRMINGHAM: A SURVEY AND HISTORY (PART 1: PREFACE, EXPLANATORY NOTES, INTRODUCTION, LOCATIONS A-E) Chris Pickford Version date: 29/09/2020 Preface Not long after I took up ringing in 1966 I began collecting information on the bells in Worcestershire (where I was at boarding school) and Warwickshire (where my parents lived). I date my first ‘serious’ visits to April 1968 since when I have been working intermittently on comprehensive surveys of bells in the two counties. The prospect of tackling a large urban area like Birmingham was always a rather daunting one and for a long time I skirted round it. However, when I took on the role of Bells Adviser to the Birmingham Diocesan Advisory Committee in 1987 I decided to pick up the challenge and during the course of the next couple of years managed to visit nearly every belfry in the area. The work originally led to the creation of a Diocesan Inventory (rather in the format of the present National Bells Register) and the updating of the Council for the Care of Churches’ preservation list for the Diocese. I stepped down as Bells Adviser in 1998 but in 2003-4 - following a return to the Midlands - I did some further survey work and wrote up the entire work in its present form. Since then I have tried to keep it up to date as best I can. I never intended this to be a book - and long ago gave up talking of books to replace Walters’s books on the Church Bells of Warwickshire (1910) Church Bells of Worcestershire (1925-31) - as this sort of study is too specialised (and too detailed in this form) for traditional publication.

  • George Dawson's Civic Gospel and the Architecture Of
    VIDES XV MATTHEW KEY ‘Through the Gains of Industry we promote Art’: George Dawson’s Civic Gospel and the architecture of the Improvement Scheme. This essay explores two artefacts from late Victorian Birmingham; a period in which the city went through remarkable transformation, culminating in one commentator describing it as ‘the best governed in the world’. The artefacts include George Dawson’s speech on the inauguration of Birmingham Reference Library (1866) and a drawing of Birmingham in 1886 by H.W. Brewer. These artefacts reveal how Unitarian preaching on civic morality was used to justify the hegemonic entrepreneurial politics of civic government during the period. However, what has been traditionally portrayed as a symbiosis of humanitarian progressivism, civic pride and business acumen, had less altruistic undertones. I hope that Corporations generally will become much more expensive than they have been – not expensive in the sense of wasting money, but that there will be such nobleness and liberality amongst the people of our towns and cities as will lead them to give their Corporations power to expend more money on those things which, as public opinion advances, are found to be essential to the health and comfort and improvement of our people. John Bright in a speech at Birmingham (January 1864) t is doubtful that even John Bright, the legendary radical and Liberal statesman, was aware of the magnitude of change that the Civic Gospel, whose tenets he Ihad alluded to in the above public address of the 26th January 1864, would

  • 2013 Paradise Forum
    Paradise Circus Between 1757 and 1775 [John Baskerville] printed books in a wide range of subjects. He was particularly proud of his series of Latin and of English classics, notably Milton's Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. Paradise Lost Paradise Regained Thinking: Baskerville (“of Birmingham”) / (business man, book printer, type designer) / Books / Library / ‘Baskerville Collection’ / Paradise as “an ideal or idyllic place or state” / the loss and regaining of this in Birmingham / 2031 policy objectives, etc.. “A Klee painting named ‘Angelus Novus’ shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them. This storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned.” – Walter Benjamin: ‘Theses on the Philosophy of History’ (1940) “We predominantly use the right for waving goodbye, throwing a kiss, delivering a vulgar gesture, greeting, etc.. The right hand appears to serve as a kind of motoric extension of language and thought in that it acts at the behest of lingustic impulses via parietal lobe programming…the parietal lobe is considered a ‘lobe of the hand’.” – R.
