  • 1 Buckinghamshire; a Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett
    Buckinghamshire; A Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett 1 Chapter One: Origins to 1603 Although it is generally accepted that a truly national system of defence originated in England with the first militia statutes of 1558, there are continuities with earlier defence arrangements. One Edwardian historian claimed that the origins of the militia lay in the forces gathered by Cassivelaunus to oppose Caesar’s second landing in Britain in 54 BC. 1 This stretches credulity but military obligations or, more correctly, common burdens imposed on able bodied freemen do date from the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the seventh and eight centuries. The supposedly resulting fyrd - simply the old English word for army - was not a genuine ‘nation in arms’ in the way suggested by Victorian historians but much more of a selective force of nobles and followers serving on a rotating basis. 2 The celebrated Burghal Hidage dating from the reign of Edward the Elder sometime after 914 AD but generally believed to reflect arrangements put in place by Alfred the Great does suggest significant ability to raise manpower at least among the West Saxons for the garrisoning of 30 fortified burghs on the basis of men levied from the acreage apportioned to each burgh. 3 In theory, it is possible that one in every four of all able-bodied men were liable for such garrison service. 4 Equally, while most surviving documentation dates only from 1 G. J. Hay, An Epitomised History of the Militia: The Military Lifebuoy, 54 BC to AD 1905 (London: United Services Gazette, 1905), 10.

    A SOCIAL HISTORY OF MILTON KEYNES CASS SERIES: BRITISH POLITICS AND SOCIETY Series Editor: Peter Catterall ISSN: 1467-1441 Social change impacts not just upon voting behaviour and party identity but also the formulation of policy. But how do social changes and political developments interact? Which shapes which? Reflecting a belief that social and political struc- tures cannot be understood either in isolation from each other or from the histor- ical processes which form them, this series will examine the forces that have shaped British society. Cross-disciplinary approaches will be encouraged. In the process, the series will aim to make a contribution to existing fields, such as pol- itics, sociology and media studies, as well as opening out new and hitherto- neglected fields.

  • BRITISH BRICK SOCIETY Summer Meeting Saturday 25 July 2015 the FRINGES of MILTON KEYNES BRICKWORKS, RAILWAY STATIONS, CHURCHES Buildings Notes
    BRITISH BRICK SOCIETY Summer Meeting Saturday 25 July 2015 THE FRINGES OF MILTON KEYNES BRICKWORKS, RAILWAY STATIONS, CHURCHES Buildings Notes INTRODUCTION Timgad in a green field: the City of Milton Keynes is an artificial creation, no less than the Roman city on the edge of the desert in Algeria. Some of us remember the land between the M1 to the east and Watling Street (or the West Coast main railway line) to the west as green fields bisected by pleasant country roads and having isolated villages within them. The writer did the journey from Luton to Northampton very frequently in the late 1960s and the first seven years of the 1970s. Along the fringes of the new city the village centres and their eighteenth-century churches remain: Fenny Stratford, Bow Brickhill (not taken in by the new city), Willen, Great Linford. These notes will concentrate on these villages but will also record buildings in two of the old market towns ― Bletchley and Stony Stratford ― now subsumed within the new metropolis. The notes concentrate on three aspects of brick activity: brickworks and their surviving structure, railways and the buildings erected for them, and a group of churches, rebuilt in brick in the early eighteenth century. BRICKWORKS Beside the railway line from Oxford to Cambridge were many brickyards; this is particularly so in the Buckinghamshire section from north of Marsh Gibbon to Woburn Sands. The yards producing the self-combusting Flettons in the late nineteenth century and through to the end of the twentieth century are well-known. But the brickmaking industry around the fringes of Milton Keynes is much older than the last decades of the nineteenth century.

  • Milton Keynes
    Lab 1 | Milton Keynes photo by Chris Guy - gidsey.com The present report is a documentation of the insights related to New Towns and migration from the two-day New Town Lab in Milton Keynes and it should be read within that context. The lab was the first of five events as part of the International New Town Institute’s two-year project “New Towns Arrival Cities”. European New Towns, built by the welfare state to accommodate growing urban populations, all share a social democratic background and planned nature; today, they all face similar challenges as they struggle to adapt to rapidly growing and diversifying populations. The New Towns Arrival Cities project, funded by the European Union as part of its Europe for Citizens Programme, is a platform for knowledge exchange between six European New Towns on the topic of accommodating migration. It consists of five two-day “New Town Lab” events in five partner cities: Milton Keynes, UK (November 22-23, 2017), Sabaudia, Italy (May 16-17, 2018), Grand Paris Sud, France (October 2018), Vällingby, Sweden (December 13-14, 2018) and Nissewaard, The Netherlands (February 2019). The five chapters of the report reflect the main topics addressed in each of the project’s five New Towns that will hold a lab, with the aim of establishing a structure that would make the results of the five labs relevant to the other partner cities and easily comparable. Instead of offering definitive conclusions, the report presents the main challenges, insights, observations and questions that came out of the presentations and discussions, with the intention of providing a base for further investigation.

  • PLANNING the URBAN FUTURE in 1960S BRITAIN*
    The Historical Journal, 54, 2 (2011), pp. 477–507 f Cambridge University Press 2011 doi:10.1017/S0018246X11000100 PLANNING THE URBAN FUTURE IN 1960 sBRITAIN* GUY ORTOLANO New York University ABSTRACT. This article recovers Buckinghamshire county council’s proposal to build a monorail city for 250,000 residents during the 1960s. The project was eventually taken over by Whitehall, which proceeded to establish Britain’s largest new town of Milton Keynes instead, but from 1962 to 1968 local officials pursued their monorail metropolis. By telling the story of ‘North Bucks New City’, the article develops a series of claims. First, the proposal should be understood not as the eccentric creation of a single British county, but rather as one iteration of larger state efforts to manage the densities and distributions of growing populations. Second, while the 1960s witnessed the automobile’s decisive triumph as a means of personal mobility in Britain, that very triumph ironically generated critiques of the car and quests for alternatives. Third, the monorail was part of a complex social vision that anticipated – and, in part through the facilitation of recreational shopping, sought to alleviate – a crisis of delinquency expected to result from a world of automation and affluence. Fourth, despite its ‘futuristic’ monorail, the plan ultimately represented an effort by experts and the state to manage social change along congenial lines. Fifth, the proposal advanced a nationalist urbanism, promising renewed global stature for post-imperial Britain by building upon its long urban history. Finally, the article concludes by arguing that this unrealized vision points to the limitations of ‘modernism’ in the history of urban planning, and to the problems of teleology in the history of the 1960s.
