  • Lancashire Clogs and Shawls
    LANCASHIRE CLOGS AND SHAWLS Archived by Campbell M Gold CMG Archives http://www.campbellmgold.com (2012) (This material was compiled from various unverified sources) --()-- Lancashire Clogs There were several types of clog used in Lancashire during the industrial revolution. Pit clogs (or boot clogs) corresponded to boots and came well up the ankles. They were secured with natural leather laces, and the toes were protected by a heavy steel plate. Such clogs carried no decoration and they were strictly for work, heavy work, such as that found in a foundry or mill. Ordinary clogs for men were fastened with a clasp. Above - Men's Work Clogs Women’s clogs were less substantial, and they were decora ted all the way round between the alder wood sole and the welt with brass tacks. A woman’s clog also had a strap across the instep. 1 Above - Clogs for Women Children's clogs had a button for the fastener, and the clog sometimes had more ornamentation with the half-inch broad toe piece of brass being a decorative touch. There were even red clogs for a baby. It was the only time that a departure from the traditional black was permitted. Above - A Practical Pair of Children's Clogs Above - Children's Clogs 2 Above - Children Wearing Clogs Clogs were not worn in the spinning mill because the clog irons on the alder soles would have damaged the wood on the floors. However, the operatives often wore their clogs and shawls when going to and from work. Clogs were the customary wear in a weaving shed where the weaver stood on a flagged floor that was cold and often damp.

  • Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020: an Examination of Non-Specialist English Social Folk Dance
    Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020: An Examination of Non-Specialist English Social Folk Dance Chloe Elizabeth Middleton-Metcalfe MA, BA (Hons) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of PhD Department of Dance University of Roehampton 2021 1 Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, and Country Dancing in England 1945-2020 CEMM Abstract This thesis is a genre-centred investigation of one dance form which is known by a variety of names including: barn dance, ceilidh, country dance, and (English) folk dance. A hitherto academically neglected dance genre, this thesis takes a mixed diachronic and synchronic approach to explain and contextualise the developments of English social folk dance from the mid-twentieth century. In so doing it contributes to an under-studied area of research: the experiences of occasional, or novice adult dancers. In order to answer the central question of ‘why do people hold English social folk dances?’ this thesis examines the genre’s recent history. The approach of Douglas Kennedy, head of the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) from 1924-1961 is examined. Consideration is given to the influence of other dance genres (in particular square dance and old time) on the formation of an English folk repertoire. The neo-traditionalist approach of the ceilidh movement in the 1970s and the quest for an English sound and dancing style is examined. Folk dance in English schools is charted, providing a counter- story to modern educational dance centred histories. The second half of this thesis utilises ethnographic fieldwork from thirty dance events (2017-2018), supplemented with interviews and questionnaire data.

We rapidly expanded from one day to four and we’ve done our upmost to make the best use of all the Thursday 18th July venues available to us. But there was never any danger of us forgetting what first inspired us to see whether we could make this thing work.
