Litt. of the Univf^rsitv of Durham. 1968. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the lead mining industry of the IJorthern Pennines passed through a managerial and industrial revolution. Superficially, life , in the lead mining dales changed less between 1750 and I85O than in the neighbouring coal fields and-shipyards. The wild and romantic Pennine scenery remained little corrupted by industrialisation. Mining continued ;to be governed by an apparently unchanged' elaborate system of sub contract. But population increased by a factor of three or four, and below the surface ( metaphorically speaking ) social institutions changed fundamentally. Technological advances in underground haulage and in ore dressing at the beginning of the nineteenth century forced organisational changes on the mine owners. In these fields sub - contracting was either abolished, or regulated so closely that the sub-contractors were direct employees in all but name. The contracts governing actual ore getting became tighter, reducing the practical status of the theoretically independent miner to that of an employee. The proportion of agents to workmen increased, allowing greater supervision. The miners were .paid more regularly - and were:expected to work more regularly. 2. Outside working hours there was little of their social life not influenced by the mine owners by I85O. Education, churches and chapels, benefit societies, even organised amusements were provided or subsidized lay the mining companies. But, misdemeanours in private life - drunkenness, fathering a bastard child, etc. - were as much the province of managerial discipline as any offence during working hours. By I85O, at work and outside, the lead miner was dominated by his employer, QLANGLEY MILL WHITFIELD o ALLENDALE TOWN J' 3 N 0 R T H U M^B E( R L A • ^ ^5^*=ro^HUNSTANW0RTH ^ y ^ • . • .

  • Allendale Town to Nenthead
    Allendale Town to Nenthead Summary The trail begins begins in Allendale from Isaac's Well and follows the River East Allen up the valley. The river is mostly out of view but the path never strays far from it, passing through wooded denes over tributary burns or across hay meadows or where sheep, cattle and horses graze. Behind such pastoral images is a fascinating industrial history when the valley led the world, albeit briefly, in mining technology. By the mid 1800s it was the Silicon Valley of its day with revolutionary hydraulic engines from W.G. Armstong’s Elswick works in Newcastle installed in the shafts to drain Blackett Level mines under construction. So named after the landowners, the Blackett Beaumonts, it was an ambitious engineering project for an underground channel up from Allendale to Allenheads. It was also intended to discover new mineral veins. In the long run, the costly scheme was not a success. The surveying and engineering required may owe something to Allendale’s claim to be the Centre of Britain. After four miles, the trail turns its back on the East Allen beyond Pry Hill and the Rowantree Stob Bastle (defensive farmstead) ruin and turns for a steady climb up on to the moors on the Black Way. Apparent is the paraphernalia of grouse shooting with feeding stations and marker posts, complete with lines of stone and timber reinforced butts. Other than for spells when grouse shooting is underway from 12th August into the autumn, it’s mostly tranquil. People are few and far between with just the cries of lapwings, calls of curlews and tweets from golden plover on the tops for company around the nesting times.

  • The Rare Plant Register of South Northumberland (VC67) 2010 Quentin J
    The Rare Plant Register of South Northumberland (VC67) 2010 Quentin J. Groom and A. John Richards Introduction The Vice-County Rare Plant Registers are an initiative of the Botanical Society of the British Isles to summarise the status of rare and conservation-worthy plants in each vice-county. The intention is to create an up-to-date summary of the sites of rare plants and their status at these sites. Rare Plant Registers intend to identify gaps in our knowledge, aid conservation efforts and encourage monitoring of our rare plants. Criteria for Inclusion The guidelines of the BSBI were followed in the production of this Rare Plant Register. All native vascular plants with a national status of “rare” (found in 1-15 hectads in Britain) or “scarce” (found in 16-100 hectads in Britain) are included even if that species is not native to South Northumberland. In addition, all native species locally rare or scarce in South Northumberland are included, as are extinct native species. These guidelines were occasionally relaxed to include some local specialities and hybrids of note. We would have liked to restrict the list to current sites for each species. However, in many cases, there is too little up-to-date information to make this possible. The listed sites are those where the species might still exist or has existed recently. In most cases, a site is included if a species has been recorded there since 1970. Sites without detailed locality information or of dubious provenance are not included. Where possible, we have tried to show the known history of a site by noting the date of first and last record.
