This profile describes the new Mossley ward, which comes into effect on 10th June 2004. The figures it contains must be regarded as provisional. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has yet to issue official and more accurate Census figures for the new wards. Interpreting Census Statistics Please note that small figures in Census tables are liable to be amended by the ONS to preserve confidentiality. This means that totals and percentages which logically ought to be the same may in fact be different, depending what table they come from.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

  • Using Triangular Graphs for Representing, Exploring and Analysing Electoral Change
    9. E Environment and Planning A 1996, volume 28, pages 979 - 998 Using triangular graphs for representing, exploring and analysing electoral change D F L Dorlingl Department of Geography, University of Newcastle upon "Qne, Newcastle upon 5ne NE1 7RU, England R J Johnston Department of Geography, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 ISS, England C J Pattie Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2TN, England Received 10 November 1994; in revised form 13 January 1995 Abstract. Although electoral triangles have been used by several researchers to display election results in three-party contests, measures of change have not been derived from them that allow rigorous analysis of the interconstituency variations in change. We have recently derived two such measures, and in this paper subject them for the first time to analytic evaluation, and we use visualization methods to explore relationships and statistical procedures to test for them. The results shed new light on changes in the determinants of Great Britain's electoral geography between 1983 and 1987, and 1987 and 1992. A major difficulty faced by analysts of the geography of changing voting patterns in Great Britain in the last two decades has been the derivation of the 'dependent variable7. In the 1950s and 1960s, when the (then) Liberal Party did not field candidates in many seats and the Nationalist parties in Scotland and Wales were electorally inactive, a simple measure of change in a constituency between two elections based on the relative performance of the Conservative and Labour Parties sufficed. Since 1970, however, two-party politics has been replaced by three-party contests throughout England (in all constituencies in 1983, 1987, and 1992) and four-party contests in much of Scotland and Wales.

  • Candidates North West Region
    Page | 1 LIBERAL/LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES IN THE NORTH WEST REGION 1945-2015 Constituencies in the counties of Cheshire, Cumbria and Lancashire INCLUDING SDP CANDIDATES in the GENERAL ELECTIONS of 1983 and 1987 PREFACE The North West Region was a barren area for the Liberal/Liberal Democratic Party for decades with a higher than average number of constituencies left unfought after the 1920s in many cases. After a brief revival in 1950, in common with most regions in the UK, when the party widened the front considerably, there ensued a further bleak period until the 1970s. In 1983-87, as with other regions, approximately half the constituencies were fought by the SDP as partners in the Alliance. 30 or more candidates listed have fought elections in constituencies in other regions, one in as many as five. Cross-checking of these individuals has taken time but otherwise the compilation of this regional Index has been relatively straight forward compared with others. Special note has been made of the commendable achievements of ‘pioneer’ candidates who courageously carried the fight into the vast swathe of Labour-held constituencies across the industrial zone of the region beginning in the 1970s. The North West Region has produced its fair share of personalities who have flourished in fields outside parliamentary politics. Particularly notable are the candidates, some of whom were briefly MPs, whose long careers began just after World War I and who remained active as candidates until after World War II. (Note; there were four two-member constituencies in Lancashire, and one in Cheshire, at the 1945 General Election, denoted ‘n’ after the date.
