    Transcript of Podcast 039: The People's Republic Of South Yorkshire {Intro. A crowd singing} You fill up my senses, Like a gallon of Magnet, Like a packet of Woodbines, Like a good pinch of snuff, Like a night out in Sheffield, Like a greasy chip butty, Like Sheffield United, Come thrill me again {intro music – jaunty, bouncy} {Intro standard announcement: Hello. Thank you for tuning in. You're listening to Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure, a fortnightly series looking at unfamiliar places across the world, and aspects of travelling you may never have thought of. I'm your host, The Barefoot Backpacker, a middle-aged Brit with a passion for offbeat travel, history, culture, and the 'why's behind travel itself. So join me as we venture … beyond the brochure.} {Music fades. Podcast begins} Hello :) Carrying on from last episode's New Year greetings, if you celebrate or otherwise mark it, I hope you had a happy Easter, a kosher and joyous Passover, and/or a Blessed Ostara. It's that time of year when there are many and varied religious and cultural celebrations one after another. It was Holi recently too, an ancient and popular Hindu festival that celebrates both the arrival of spring, and the defeat of evil (Hiranyakashipu) by good (Vishnu). Most outsiders, especially in the West, only know it as 'that festival where everybody throws coloured powder around'. Still, at least they've heard of it, which is a step up I guess. Related, I'm writing this on International Asexuality Day, which … seems to be trending regionally on Twitter, which either shows there's a lot of us, or it doesn't take a lot to trend on Twitter.

  • SLI 22 Title: Beet Lantern Slide Collection
    University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: SLI 22 Title: Beet Lantern Slide Collection Scope: A collection of just under 2,500 lantern slides collected by Arthur Edgar Beet, an academic in the Applied Science Department at the University of Sheffield in the first half of the 20th century. Dates: Late 19th and early 20th century Level: Fonds Extent: c.2,500 slides Name of Creator: Arthur Edgar Beet Administrative/biographical history: This collection consists of just under 2,500 magic lantern slides covering a wide variety of subjects, including photographs of late 19th century Sheffield, illustrations of scenes from children’s tales and Bible stories, images of the Boer War and the First World War, portraits of important historical figures, and photographs of London and European cities. The majority of the slides are standard UK lantern slides 3¼ inches square, but there are also a wide range of panorama slides, single slipper slides, double slipper slides, glass pivot slides, rackwork slides and rare and unique homemade glass slides. Arthur Edgar Beet was a lecturer in fuel technology at the University of Sheffield in the first half of the twentieth century. He was an amateur local historian who developed an interest in collecting lantern slides and projection equipment: a large addition to his collection was made in 1954 by John Arthur Southern, who bequeathed to Beet his own collection of 800 slides and a late 19th century projector. On Beet’s death in 1968, his son, A.D.H. Beet offered to donate the collection of slides to the University of Sheffield.

  • Geography 497: International Field Study, Summer 2003 Field Trip
    Geography 497: International Field Study, Summer 2003 Field Trip Summary SUNDAY June 22: 7.00 p.m. Dinner, Halifax Hall, Sheffield University. Final pre-trip preparations are discussed in a local pub, conveniently located within 10 minutes walk. MONDAY, June 23: 7.30 a.m. Breakfast. 9.15 a.m. We begin by walking towards Endcliffe Park and Whiteley Woods where Shepherd Wheel is located. On the way, we pass some Victorian housing and at the junction of Ecclesall Road, Hunter’s Bar, now covered by trees, is the site of a former toll gate (really toll house). Hunter’s Bar was erected around 1700 as part of a turnpike trust to charge road users for the upkeep of the road. There were 10 turnpike trusts controlling 16 toll gates in Sheffield. Hunter’s Bar was the last to close in 1884. Photo 1: Geography 497 in Endcliffe Park. Parks for recreational purposes are a long established, widespread feature of the Sheffield landscape found throughout the city (outside of the central area). Part of the Sheffield web-based promotional literature claims the city is one of the greenest in Europe, including 78 public parks, 10 gardens and 170 woodlands. Many of the parks are large. Photo 2: Shepherd Wheel 9.52 a.m. Shepherd Wheel is on the Porter River, Whiteley Woods. The site comprises cutlery grinding and polishing operations and a water wheel. The latter which provided power for grinding stones (made out of local sandstone) was driven by a dam created by diverting water from the Porter River.

  • Spring 2010 Issn 0965-8912
    DORE to DOOR DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY No. 97 SPRING 2010 ISSN 0965-8912 Kings Croft Fence Shock A great deal of anger has been expressed by local residents about the new fence that has been suddenly erected on the Kings Croft Playing Field. The 2m high weldmesh fence has been erected by the Dore Primary School in the full knowledge that the Dore Village Society had applied to have the area registered as a new village green. The most shocking aspect of the new enclosure is the gate that has been erected across the footpath from Vicarage Lane which has been in public use for over 40years. The head teacher of the Primary School knew about the Village Green application and indeed went ahead with the fence after the Council had placed notices on the site informing everyone that an application had been made for the new Village Green. The Planning Department has decided that the 2m high gate onto Vicarage Lane is not “adjacent to the highway” and Dore children enjoying the Punch and Judy Show at the Victory Fete held on Dore therefore does not require planning cricket ground in 1945. Do you recognise any of these faces? Would we be allowed to permission. ( The remainder of the fence is take such a picture today? also considered to be “permitted development” ). Dore Voices - Bombs The statutory notice on all three new DORE & TOTLEY and bravery in wartime village greens expired on January 29th when the Council must decide if they are WARD FORUM to register the three new greens.

  • Newsletter 86 Autumn 2012
    NEWSLETTER 86 AUTUMN 2012 EDITORIAL Welcome to the Autumn Newsletter and the start of a new lecture season. Details of the programme are included with the Newsletter and can also be found on the Section pages on the YAHS website. I hope you managed to have some dry and sunny days over this rather disappointing summer. I spent three days at the AIA conference in Chelmsford and it was good to catch up with old friends having missed the previous two conferences. I will be producing a report for the next Newsletter but just to add now that the three days of trips were very good with a surprising amount to see in rural Essex and just over the border into Suffolk. I can report on a number of activities that have taken place over the summer in South Yorkshire; the archaeological team of Arc Heritage completed their archaeological investigations at Rockley Furnace and Engine House and presented their findings to a well attended launch of the report at Wentworth Castle, Stainborough on 17 May. An appropriate venue as the Rockley site was originally part of the Wentworth Estate prior to being purchased by the South Yorkshire Industrial History Society. A few days earlier there had been a similar launch event for the Arc Heritage report on their archaeological survey of the line of the Silkstone Waggonway – an early tramway taking coal from local pits in the Silkstone area to the Barnsley Canal basin at Barnby. Several previously undiscovered stone sleeper blocks and branch lines were discovered. Both investigations were funded by the Industrial Heritage programme of the East Peak Innovation Partnership (EPIP).
