  • WLHG Peterloo Bi-Centenary(2019)
    Westhoughton Local History Group LOCAL HISTORY GROUP UNCOVERS WESTHOUGHTON’S UNIQUE AND FASCINATING LINKS TO THE PETERLOO MASSACRE On 16th August 1819, a huge crowd, variously estimated at 60,000 – 100,000 people, assembled in the centre of Manchester, essentially as part of a peaceful process to demand major parliamentary reforms – especially extended suffrage, and representation at Westminster, since, despite a population of over 2 million, Lancashire had no Members of Parliament at that time. Two centuries ago, life for the vast majority of people – but especially those working in the newly- industrialised northern towns and cities – was verging on desperate, with widespread chronic poverty, famine, and mass unemployment. As a result of unbounded economic hardships in the wake of the hugely- expensive Napoleonic Wars, taxes had risen to crippling levels, and for many the introduction of the widely-despised Corn Laws in 1815 represented the last straw. For years, discontent amongst the lowest classes of society had increasingly simmered, to the point where the Establishment had feared a revolution similar to that in France just 30 years earlier. Accordingly, any mass meetings – no matter how innocent or peaceful – were viewed with great fear and suspicion by local magistrates, acting as agents for the Home Office in London, and were frequently banned or rapidly dispersed by the use of local militia and regiments of mounted Yeomanry, the latter being de facto private armies. The crowd in Manchester had gathered to hear renowned orator Henry Hunt, one of the country’s leading campaigners for political reform, but whose movements were constantly monitored by the authorities, as he was deemed no more than a dangerous ‘rabble-rouser’.

  • Neighbourhood Management & Area Working Programme
    NEIGHBOURHOOD MANAGEMENT & AREA WORKING PROGRAMMES This document provides the breakdown of Neighbourhood Management and Area working funding over the past 6 years. The funding was allocated originally in 2-year programmes, and more recently as 1-year programme. The Neighbourhood Management programmes were coordinated and managed by Bolton Council (BMBC) and Bolton at Home (for Breightmet, Tonge with the Haulgh, Hulton Lane, Washacre and Johnson Fold). Members have discretion to shape priorities and spend within their areas but have been guided by the principles that projects should help to improve outcomes and narrow the gap between our least deprived and most deprived areas, and have a clear benefit to the quality of life in an area. The Council is publishing this historical information as part of its commitment to transparency; and has undertaken to publish information about new allocations on a regular basis. Note: April 2021 – This document has been updated to include the Neighbourhood Management information for the Bolton at Home managed areas. This includes: Breightmet, Tonge with the Haulgh, Hulton Lane, Washacre and Johnson Fold. 1 NEIGHBOURHOOD MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME 2013 – 2015 Neighbourhood Management - Crompton 2013 - 2015 Total £78,296 Project £ Lancs Wildlife Trust project tree planting and working with schools and groups 7,500 Various Traffic Regulation Orders covering Baythorpe St, Ullswater St and others 5,705 Crompton Road safety improvements 4,590 Police - Cobden room hire 10th July 2013 80 Police - 19th August 2014 48 Sledmere Close Street Lights 1,700 Dormer St - street lights 4,600 Road safety barriers outside former Bowling Green pub, Blackburn Rd 400 Road Safety Markings at St.

    Cultural Digital Designers in Residence in Schools 2020 A project by the Comino / Ideas Foundation partnership in Greater Manchester Schools with Manchester Metropolitan University Project Name: Bygone Bolton CDDIR Name: Tom Cockeram CDDIR Course: MA Product Design Allumnus School DigitalName: Designers Ladybridge in Residence High Schoolin Schools 2016 Teachers Names: Joy Helliwell, Jess Greenhalgh Cultural Organisation: The Science and Industry Museum, Manchester Link Staff Name: Adam Flint Curriculum Areas: Citizenship & Art Pupils Year and Number: 19 yr 8 and 9s Project Overview Students created their own monuments to people and places in Bolton, that were significant in the town’s development during the Industrial Revolution. These were informed by a trip to SIM’s Textiles Gallery and a walking tour of Bolton town centre. The finished sculptures will be exhibited as a 3D map alongside the walking tour so that other students can share the experience. Project Rationale To provide a way for the students to connect with their surroundings. It was identified by their citizenship teacher, Ms Helliwell, that students were aware of global concepts such as slavery and the rights of the child, yet not how they have directly impacted their local landscape. To create a project alongside the students so that they felt they were co-collaborators. The end outcomes were chosen and designed by each group as a way to share the information they had gathered informally. Project Rationale To prepare students with a grounding of what courses and careers are available for them if they were interested in pursuing an art based pathway, and in addition highlight the crossover opportunities between disciplines.

  • Memorial Inscriptions the Parish Church St Mary, the Virgin Deane
    Memorial Inscriptions Memorial AtInscriptions At The Parish Church The ParishOf Church Of StSt Mary,Mary, TheThe VirginVirgin Deane Deane BoltonBolton (Second Edition 2018) (Second Edition 2018) PREFACE This edition of the Monumental Inscriptions of Deane Church has been transcribed from an earlier version produced by the Bolton & District Family History Society in April 1983. It was typewritten and therefore of limited circulation. It was thought that Deane Church did not hold a copy in its archives and therefore the only way to retrieve the inscriptions was to re-run the project. Fortunately a copy was discovered in Bolton Museum archives and photographed. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software was used but due to the limited facilities available, much of this material was not suitable for the process. As this is such a valuable source of information, the decision was taken to manually enter the text. This process was a labour of love which covered many months. To ensure this does not need to be repeated, digital copies are to be deposited with Bolton Museum, Manchester Library , Bolton and District Family History Society and available from the website www.deanechurch.co.uk Eric Morgan 15th July 2018 FOREWORD The ancient church of St Mary the Virgin, Deane, Bolton, Lancashire has perhaps the most interesting history of any in these parts. It is for this reason that the Bolton and History Society decided to list the monumental inscriptions of the older parts of the churchyard and also in the interior of the church. It dates from at least Norman times and probably earlier.
