KES! King Ted’s! The various names of the school resonate with Sheffielders of all generations. For a hundred years the School has occupied a central role in the educational life of the City of Sheffield. When I tentatively approached John Cornwell three years ago with the suggestion that he might like to consider writing a history of the School to celebrate its impending centenary, I hardly imagined that a volume of such significance would emerge. Neither could I foresee the labour of love combined with a real taste for scholarship and original research which my innocuous question had set in motion. This work is a unique chronicle. Throughout the troubled twentieth century King Edward VII School has evolved and adapted. It has survived and flourished. It has lived through and reflected the dramas of the times at home and abroad, in good times and bad. John Cornwell weaves a fascinating narrative, drawing on many original and hitherto unpublished sources, to portray the journey of the School from the imperial post Victorian era to the dawn of the globalised and multi-cultural Twenty-First Century. He finds themes of permanence and continuity in a period of change which would have bewildered the Methodist founders of the original Wesley College in whose magnificent building the contemporary school still thrives. He records with forensic thoroughness the cut and thrust of local politics which shaped the destiny of the School in this most political of cities. He traces the emergence of this most diverse and successful co-educational comprehensive school from its origins as a small fee-paying Edwardian Boys’ Grammar School with public school pretensions, and in the process captures the pivotal moments in the School’s history. Yet this remarkable book is much more than a constitutional history of the English education system. John Cornwell brings to life with great affection and generosity the many characters who have graced the School and left their mark on it. He recalls anecdotes, achievements and rivalries. His pages are animated by the sport, music and theatrical aspirations of the staff and students of the School, set in the context of their time. King Ted’s: a Biography of King Edward VII School does honour to a great school. There is much in this book to appeal to the widest readership; whether you have personal memories of the School as a pupil or as a member of staff or a passionate interest in the vicissitudes of Sheffield politics or whether you have just wondered all those years what actually happens behind the imposing façade which looks out on Clarkehouse Road, you will find something to surprise and delight you in John Cornwell’s history. September 2005 7 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When I was asked to write the history of King Edward VII School, I was delighted to accept because I have long been fascinated by the extraordinary changes, events and achievements that have defined the history of this remarkable school during the last one hundred years. I particularly wanted to get a proper understanding of the major constitutional crises that faced the school in 1926-7, 1944-5, 1965-69 and 1985-86, and also discover just how Wesley College and the Royal Grammar School were fused into the new entity that became King Edward VII School in 1905. It soon became apparent that there were two histories of KES. One that explores the symbiotic relationship of the school with the City Council and the manner with which the school coped with the education legislation introduced by successive governments, the other that is the “family” history of the over 15,000 Old Edwardians and over 1000 staff members who have studied or taught at the school since 1905. The first is to be found in the minutes of the meetings of the Governors and the Education Committee, in letters and reports written by Headmasters and Council Officers, in local press articles and in discussions with former senior Councillors and Education Department Officers. The latter was revealed in the school magazines, in concert and play programmes, photos of sports teams, old school rules and in the numerous personal recollections of Old Edwardians, staff members and friends of the school. I am neither an Old Edwardian nor a former teacher at the school, and so, through a hundred or so interviews during 2003 and 2004, I tried to gain an understanding of life at the school as former pupils and staff remembered it. For most of them their memories revolve around celebrated teachers and notable pupils, familiar rooms and freezing playing fields, scout troops and sports teams, concerts, plays and societies and always the omniscient presence of the Headmaster of the day. I am very much aware that only a few of the people who have gone through the school have been able to contribute their personal reminiscences, and that, therefore, this history is certain to be incomplete, because every person’s story reveals some new aspect of life at KES. However, if you are mentioned and I have got it wrong, I apologise. If you have been left out and feel an injustice, please chalk it up to the need for selectivity or the final book would be of unmanageable proportions. When my own school celebrated its centenary over a decade ago, they also produced a history of the school. My main interest was to read about “my” era and I was underwhelmed by the lack of detail on offer. On the other hand I found later decades appeared to have far too much information (although they were in reality no longer) and I would have settled for a briefer outline of the major themes and events. In this book I have tried to write a reasonably full account of all the different periods of KES history, so that the book reflects the memories and opinions of those involved in all the decades, whilst also serving as a formal record of the school’s progress over the last century. At the 8 same time I have attempted to maintain a popular touch to avoid overly turgid and tedious chapters. I have used some abbreviations and initials throughout the book for convenience sake. It does not seem unreasonable to use KES for King Edward VII School, as the school has used that form throughout its history. Similarly SRGS (for Sheffield Royal Grammar School) and LEA (for Local

    'THE FREEDOM OF ELECTION' THE COMPANY OF CUTLERS IN HALLAMSHIRE AND THE GROWTH OF RADICALISM IN SHEFFIELD 1784-1792 JULIE MACDONALD VOLUME TWO Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, The U ni versity of Sheffield August, 2005 203 CHAPTER FIVE Sheffield in 1790 Introduction For much of the eighteenth century, Sheffield was a relatively harmonious place. Trade, generally, was booming and work was plentiful. There had been no significant riots since 1756, there was very little serious crime and its inhabitants were, in the main, tolerant of one another despite their religious differences.365 But, after six years of acrimony within the town's principal trade, the situation had changed dramatically. Divisions had begun to appear at all levels of society, divisions that, in some cases, would continue well into the twentieth century. And with these divisions had come mistrust anger and fear. Even Joseph Gales had suffered: on May 16th 1789, for example, he noted that 'the journeymen were highly enraged' with him for publishing the letter from 'A Votary of Freedom' (see previous chapter), so much so that some workshops had cancelled their order for the Register. He reassured himself, and his readers, that his publication of the reply from' A Friend to Freedom' would not only see the order reinstated but also that the journeymen would have his paper 'framed and glazed' .366 365 The riots in 1756 had been caused by food shortages and widespread anger about 'stuffing', the local name for payment in kind (see chapter one). The cutlery trades had been badly affected by the outbreak of the Seyen Years War and the subsequent loss access to the European markets.

    to DOOR DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY No. 28 WINTER 1992 ISSN 0965-8912 The Origin of local Surnames Following the Annual General Meeting of the Dore Village Society held on 7th October, 1992, Professor David Hey of the University of Sheffield gave a most interesting talk. A research class of the Division of Continuing Education, under the guidance of David Hey, had been meeting to study local surnames - how they arose, how they spread and their present distribution. Every area had distinctive surnames, Sheffield being no exception - Broomhead, Crapper, Crookes, Elshaw, Furness, Hattersley, Scargill for example. Surmanes arose for a variety of reasons, most commonly occupational - Smith, Miller, nicknames - White, Gray, from father's name - Johnson, Williamson and topographical - Hill, Brook and Green. Many names came from a very localised area such as a farm or small hamlet. It usually meant that this was the place of origin and did not indicate any high position in the locality e.g. Biltcliffe - from Upper and Lower Bilerscliffe Farms near Penistone, Stainforth - from Stoney Ford near Wincobank. The early information had been gained Stannington Brass Band entertains the crowds at Dare Show 92 from the poll tax returns of 1379.

  • I Was Happy and Flattered to Be Invited to Deliver This Lecture Because Like So Many Others Who Knew Michael Quinlan I Was an Impassioned Admirer
    I was happy and flattered to be invited to deliver this lecture because like so many others who knew Michael Quinlan I was an impassioned admirer. Yet I cannot this evening avoid being a little daunted by the memory of an occasion twenty years ago, when we both attended a talk given by a general newly returned from the Balkans. Michael said to me afterwards: ‘Such a pity, isn’t it, when a soldier who has done really quite well on a battlefield simply lacks the intellectual firepower to explain coherently afterwards what he has been doing’. Few of us, alas, possess the ‘intellectual firepower’ to meet Michael’s supremely and superbly exacting standard. I am a hybrid, a journalist who has written much about war as a reporter and commentator; and also a historian. I am not a specialist in intelligence, either historic or contemporary. By the nature of my work, however, I am a student of the intelligence community’s impact upon the wars both of the 20th century and of our own times. I have recently researched and published a book about the role of intelligence in World War II, which confirmed my impression that while the trade employs some clever people, it also attracts some notably weird ones, though maybe they would say the same about historians. Among my favourite 1939-45 vignettes, there was a Japanese spy chief whose exploits caused him to be dubbed by his own men Lawrence of Manchuria. Meanwhile a German agent in Stockholm warned Berlin in September 1944 that the allies were about to stage a mass parachute drop to seize a Rhine bridge- the Arnhem operation.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

    THE WILD CITY The coexistence of wildlife and human in Sheffield 1970 3) 2020 future URBAN DESIGN THESIS PROJECT KEXIN CAI University of Sheffield School of Architecture ARC6982 Urban Design Project 3: Thesis The Wild City Academic Year 2019/2020 Module leader: Dr Beatrice De Carli Coexistence of wildlife and human in Sheffield Kexin Cai Registration no. 190249405 Supervisor: Beatrice De Carli, Cathryn Klasto, Esra Can Thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA in Urban Design Sheffield, 4 September 2020 Abstract In the UK, over 90% of the population already lives in cities. Human activities heavily impact on living conditions of wildlife and they alter wildlife habitats in cities. It is of great importance to bring wildlife back to cities and build wildlife-inclusive cities where humans and animals can friendly coexist. This thesis design aims to explore and analyze how urban design practitioners could deploy design methods to support wildlife and designing coexistence of human and wildlife in contemporary cities. The design-based research starts with the background context of both United Kingdom and Sheffield, investigating the state and pressures of wildlife. Due to the threatened situation of Willow tit in the UK and Sheffield, the analysis mainly focusses on the state of Willow tit in Sheffield, considering the background and specificity of this species. Then develops the problem statement and research questions in 3 aspects: space, social and management aspect. Next, the research of theoretical background strongly supports the whole thesis. The concept of ‘Care’ plays as a guiding principle in each aspect and ‘rewilding’ is the key practice throughout the development and design, aiming to construct a wildlife-inclusive city in Sheffield.
