  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • The Bustling Alexander
    The Bustling Alexander by Les Gilpin Reproduced from “Cumbrian Railways” Vol 4 No 6 October 1989 by kind permission of the author In Cumbrian Railways, Vol 3, No 15, I told the story of John Brogden, his rise in the business world and his place in Cumbrian railway history. His second son, Alexander, also played his part in the county’s industrial and railway history. Alexander Brogden (Alex to the family and friends) was born on 3rd November 1825 in Manchester. After early education with Mr Hoole of Blackburn and at the New College in Manchester, he went on to study at Kings College, London. Here he obtained a first prize in mathematics. He had intended to follow a career at the Bar but, after spending his spare time away from college looking after the books in his father’s London office, he became a partner in the family firm of John Brogden & Sons. The original partners, at its establishment in 1846, were John (the father), John junior, Alexander and Henry (the sons). Alex’s early responsibilities largely involved the supervision of the company’s railway construction contracts. These are known to have included the Altrincham branch of the Manchester South Junction & Altrincham Railway, the Ashton branch of the LNWR and sections of the East Lancashire Railway around Accrington. His move into railway management took place in 1850. In that year John Robinson McClean, the engineer, leased the South Staffordshire Railway. O.P. Neele, who worked on this line, commented in his autobiography “Railway Reminiscences” that soon after the McClean takeover John Brogden, together with two of his sons, appeared at the company offices in Walsall.

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.

  • RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION in MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY NORTH LANCASHIRE: a STUDY BASED on the DIARY of JAMES STELFOX 1855-70 Advent of T
    RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION IN MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY NORTH LANCASHIRE: A STUDY BASED ON THE DIARY OF JAMES STELFOX 1855-70 BY P. J. GOODERSON, B.A., M.A. advent of the railway age, as the mid-nineteenth century J. is so often called, produced a great spate of contemporary comment in many different forms. Poems, novels, diaries, indeed all forms of literary activity, bear witness to the dramatic impact of the railway on the Victorian mind. Most diaries only convey the casual interest of the onlooker; few survive of those actually engaged upon railway construction. James Stelfox, whose diary is the main source of this article, was not an engineer or a navvy, but a company official. He was employed by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway Company (U.L.R.), first as a farmer and later as an inspector of works, during the construc­ tion of the line from Ulverston to Carnforth between 1853 and 1859. The limitations of the diary as the principal item of source material are not far to seek. It comprises the business jottings of a hard-worked company servant rather than the considered observations of a gentleman of leisure. Thus it does not give a detailed technical account of the railway's progress. Nor does it provide any but the most occasional insight into the minds of the makers of the railway and the reactions of local people, whether beneficiaries or victims. Instead, the diary presents us with an impressionist picture of the company's activities. It is the extent of the coverage which is so informative not the depth of descrip­ tion.

    OTHER CIVIL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS The use of iron in foundations Introduction Once cast iron had been established as a useful and practical structural material in the late eighteenth century, it was only going to be a question of time before an enterprising ironmaster, engineer or architect considered its application for substructures. Timber piles and platforms in combination with masonry were the traditional foundation materials, although other expedients such as rammed chalk and fascines had been employed, and in the early nineteenth century concrete began to be used . (Chrimes, 1996; Kerisel, 1956; 1985). Iron itself had been used for specialist applications such as rock foundations (below) and for pile shoes. The application of iron to foundations was a specialist area and even when iron was employed in superstructures, whether bridges, iron frames or roofs, its performance was generally governed by that of substructures built using traditional methods and materials. While the Leaning Tower of Pisa provides an enduring monument to the foundation problems faced by past generations, and towers in Bologna show similar signs of distress, others towers having collapsed completely, mediaeval and renaissance master builders were capable of erecting enduring structures on a scale not regularly surpassed before the twentieth century. The gothic cathedral is perhaps the most spectacular example, but in northern Italy and the Low Countries large civic buildings were erected, while military engineers designed successive generations of fortifications. More the province of the civil engineer were the hydraulic structures erected on the rivers and canals of the Netherlands and Lombardy from the fourteenth century onwards, using timber for bearing and sheet piles, lock walls, gates and floors, in combination with masonry and (pozzolanic) mortars.
