Sources in Bradford Local Studies Relating to Saltaire Saltaire. Saltaire was built by Titus Salt (1803 – 1876) between 1851 and 1872. The village provided its inhabitants, mostly workers at Salt’s vast mill with decent housing and other amenities, including almshouses, a hospital, a school and bath / wash houses. Saltaire is located in the Aire Valley, on the Leeds – Liverpool canal and the Leeds – Bradford Extension Railway, about 4 miles from Bradford. The following is a list of books, articles, maps, plans and illustrations which are available for consultation in the Bradford Local Studies Library.

  • A Short History of Bradford College
    A short history of Bradford College Genes from the past The past holds the secret to the genetic ingredients that have created the unique institution that is Bradford College today… Bradford could be said to succeed on its ability to utilise four resources: its Broad Ford beck and tributary streams of soft water, which contributed to the cottage industry of weaving within its natural valley; its largely poor people who from five years of age upwards were the backbone of its labour resources within that industry;its pioneers who led the country in welfare and educational reform; its “useful men” – with the capital to captain industry and the foresightedness to maximise on and develop the potential of canal, rail, steam and power machines that galvanised the industrial revolution. But there is much more to “Worstedopolis” as Bradford was known when it was the capital and centre of the world stage in the production of worsted textiles and the story of its College is not rooted in textile enterprise alone. Bradford had other resources from the outset– stone from its quarries and iron from its seams at Bowling and Low Moor, to the extent that the “Best Yorkshire” iron was in full use at Trafalgar, Waterloo and the Crimea. Bradford was ripe territory for engineers and inventors who automated the production of the woollen processes. Bradford has also made its name in areas that range from automobile production to artificial limb design. All of these strands are evident in the very earliest portfolio on offer – and many survive today. Once technical training emerged, it began – then as today - to deliver the skills that employers and markets require - but whilst Bradford buildings in their locally quarried golden stone rose around the slums, a world of financial “haves” and “have nots” poured into the town.

  • Enregisterment in Historical Contexts
    0 Enregisterment in Historical Contexts: A Framework Paul Stephen Cooper A thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics February 2013 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis I discuss how the phenomena of indexicality and enregisterment (Silverstein 2003; Agha 2003) can be observed and studied in historical contexts via the use of historical textual data. I present a framework for the study of historical enregisterment which compares data from corpora of both nineteenth-century and modern Yorkshire dialect material, and the results of an online survey of current speakers so as to ascertain the validity of the corpus data and to use ‘the present to explain the past’ (Labov 1977:226). This framework allows for the identification of enregistered repertoires of Yorkshire dialect in both the twenty-first and nineteenth centuries. This is achieved by combining elicited metapragmatic judgements and examples of dialect features from the online survey with quantitative frequency analysis of linguistic features from Yorkshire dialect literature and literary dialect (Shorrocks 1996) and qualitative metapragmatic discourse (Johnstone et al 2006) from sources such as dialect dictionaries, dialect grammars, travel writing, and glossaries. I suggest that processes of enregisterment may operate along a continuum and that linguistic features may become ‘deregistered’ as representative of a particular variety; I also suggest that features may become ‘deregistered’ to the point of becoming ‘fossil forms’, which is more closely related to Labov’s (1972) definition of the ultimate fate of a linguistic stereotype. I address the following research questions: 1.

  • Notes on Stanbury
    D R A F T NOTES ON THE LORDSHIP AND MANOR OF STANBURY Pre-History Evidence of Mesolithic settlement on upland sites in the NW of West Yorkshire along the major watersheds; evidence from Stanbury Moor in the form of three geometric microliths. 1 Bronze Age Stone circle discovered near the site of Walshaw Dean reservoir (SD 967343) on Wadsworth Moor to the SW of Stanbury Moor. The circle, 11 metres in diameter, surrounded a smaller circle, also built of stones. A second circle (SD 96213155) surveyed by the Ordnance Survey in 1962 thought to be a hut circle rather than a ceremonial circle. 2 Numerous additional National Monuments are also situated within the boundaries of the Manor of Stanbury. Anglo-Saxon Place-name: Old English Stan Burh “Stone Fortification”. Editor notes (1961) that “no trace of the fortification remains”. 3 “It is extremely difficult to isolate specific Mercian place-names. Even those containing definite Mercian forms, such as the inflected bury, rather than the uninflected borough from the OE burh (e.g. Stanbury, Dewsbury) may not go back to the 7th century, but may simply be the result of Mercian elements in the local dialect. Moreover, even if a place bears a probable Mercian name, this cannot be taken to indicate that it was actually occupied by Mercians.. It is, therefore, impossible at present to isolate specific Mercian settlements, but the possibility of their existence must be borne in mind in the course of future archaeological work in the county, especially in Agbrigg and Morley wapentakes, where the strongest evidence for Mercian influence is to be found in the place-names.” 4 Manor of Bradford held by Gamel.

  • Delivering an On-Line Information Literacy Programme to Staff at Bradford Public Libraries: POP-I - a Case Study
    Delivering an On-line Information Literacy Programme to Staff at Bradford Public Libraries: POP-i - a Case Study Rónán O'Beirne, Assistant Director, Bradford College. Acknowledgement The author wishes to acknowledge the help and support received in compiling this case study from Debbi Boden of Imperial College London. Also in delivering the project the assistance of John Davies and Anne Brown was crucial – many thanks. Introduction This case study provides an outline of the Pop-i project, identifies its aims and objectives, its key audience and deliverables, and shares findings from a mainly qualitative research methodology. POP-i was a collaborative non-commercial venture between Imperial College London (ICL) and the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, Library Service to develop an on-line learning programme for information literacy aimed at public libraries based on the instructional design principles created by ICL in their Information Literacy Internal Programme (iLIP). Some of the challenges expected were: developing relevant content for the public library sector; ensuring delivery was within an appropriate learning environment; gaining significant buy-in from a group of staff who are not familiar with e-learning. From a project management and professional development perspective there was, at the outset, a perceived benefit in the Higher Education (HE) sector working with colleagues from the Public Library (PL) sector and vice- versa. Using data gathered through a range of methods, including interviews and focus groups, this study provides an overview of the issues and challenges encountered at a strategic, tactical and operational level and outlines some of the solutions that were found.

  • Wilsden and Harecroft Parish Plan Spring 2010
    Wilsden and Harecroft Parish Plan Spring 2010 Wilsden Parish Council www.wilsdenparishcouncil.gov.uk Wilsden and Harecroft Wilsden is a former mill village lying to the west of Bradford and the south of Bingley and is a part of the Bingley Rural ward of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. The population of the Wilsden Parish Council area, which covers the villages of Wilsden and Harecroft and the surrounding farms and houses, was 4,182 at the 2001 Census. The Parish Council area contained 1944 dwellings in January 2010 compared to the 1768 dwellings in 2001, representing a 10% increase.. Wilsden dates back to Saxon times, flourishing in the nineteenth century when the presence of coal, water and wool transformed an agricultural area into an industrial landscape based on textiles. With the decline of the textile industry Wilsden is now a pleasant dormitory village for people who work elsewhere. Fortunately, the shape of the valley, with a degree of vigilance, has ensured the survival of the character of this independent community, even after a second wave of growth. Wilsden Village Society was formed in 1970 and considered it had a responsibility to act as both a watchdog and to speak out strongly in the interests of the village and its residents. It also set out to provide a new focal point for community activities in the shape of the Village Hall, to revive former social activities and to encourage new ones. In 2004 Wilsden Parish Council was created to represent the interests of this distinct community within Bradford. Since then it has been active on a number of fronts to improve Wilsden as a place to work and live; a refurbished play area and revitalisation of the hanging basket scheme being two visible examples.
