Industrialising Communities: a Case Study of Elsecar Circa 1750-1870 Industrialising Communities: A Case Study of Elsecar Circa 1750-1870 by Nigel Andrew Cavanagh A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History March 2017 Abstract This thesis takes as its subject the village of Elsecar in Yorkshire. In the period circa 1750-1870 this small rural hamlet was developed by the local landowners, the Earls Fitzwilliam, into a thriving industrial village, with an economy based on the twin industries of coal-mining and iron-smelting. As a well-documented example of a rural/industrial complex, Elsecar offers the historian the opportunity to view in microcosm the processes of social and economic change as a consequence of industrialisation, issues of national significance in the context of late eighteenth and nineteenth century social history. Using the records of the Earls Fitzwilliam as its main research material, this thesis examines the social and economic aspects of industrialisation as they affected the village and, in particular, the ways in which they influenced the development of a specific village community during this period. In so doing, the thesis engages with ideas of social cohesion, identity, class, gender and their relationships to structures of power, authority and the environment. These issues illuminate the central themes of the thesis, which are the relationship between structures of authority, the agency of the villagers and the physical environment in creating the idea of community. In examining these issues, this thesis argues that community is a form of site-specific social identity, and that the development of the industrial community of Elsecar in the period 1750-1870 is the story of the emergence of a powerful sense of place and identity, rooted in the particular collective histories and experiences of the villagers.

In a practical sense, I would like to thank the staff of the Western Bank Library at The University of Sheffield, Sheffield Local Studies Library, Sheffield Archives, Barnsley Discovery Centre, Wakefield Archives and Rotherham Archives for their help and support in accessing documents and materials. Similarly, the staff of Barnsley Museums Trust have been universally friendly and enthusiastic and it has been a pleasure to work with them. I would also like to thank Amy Ryall, Dr. Suzanne Lilley and Dr. Charlotte Newman of TAG 2015, Dr. Diana Newton of Teesside University, Alex Hitchen of the Sheffield Early Modern Studies Group and the members of the Sheffield University 19th Century Studies Group, for giving me the opportunity to air my ideas in public on various occasions. Finally, thanks are due to my friends and family for their understanding and patience over the last four years, including Mark Bailey and Mike Briggs, and my Elsecar friends Christine Cameron, Glen Shephard, Callum Tart, Chris Jones, Steve Grudgings and the members of the Friends of Hemingfield Colliery. Finally, love and thanks go to my dad, Dr. Eric Joseph Cavanagh, for his support and for urging me to do a PhD in the first place. This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my mum, Betty Ripley Cavanagh (1929-2009). She would have been proud.

By 1870 it had grown into a sizeable village that contained collieries, an engineering works, two extensive ironworks, a canal, extensive railway communications and other ancillary industrial concerns, such as coke ovens. This industrial development was complemented by an expansion of the village infrastructure and amenities, which by 1870 included terraces of workers' houses, public houses, purpose-built retail shops, schools, a church, a miners' lodging house, a public reading room and a market place. Although similar patterns of development and growth can be discerned in numerous communities throughout Yorkshire and the north-east of England, Elsecar was unusual in that its development was instigated, planned, controlled and financed by the local landowners, the second Marquis of Rockingham, and his successors, the 4th and 5th Earls Fitzwilliam. Under the control of this aristocratic dynasty, Elsecar became in effect a planned industrial settlement, numerous elements of which, such as the provision of planned workers' housing, presaged the development of mid-Victorian planned settlements such as Saltaire. The circumstances of Elsecar's development make it an important case study through which to consider the social impacts of industrialisation.

    SOHO DEPICTED: PRINTS, DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS OF MATTHEW BOULTON, HIS MANUFACTORY AND ESTATE, 1760-1809 by VALERIE ANN LOGGIE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History of Art College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT This thesis explores the ways in which the industrialist Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) used images of his manufactory and of himself to help develop what would now be considered a ‘brand’. The argument draws heavily on archival research into the commissioning process, authorship and reception of these depictions. Such information is rarely available when studying prints and allows consideration of these images in a new light but also contributes to a wider debate on British eighteenth-century print culture. The first chapter argues that Boulton used images to convey messages about the output of his businesses, to draw together a diverse range of products and associate them with one site. Chapter two explores the setting of the manufactory and the surrounding estate, outlining Boulton’s motivation for creating the parkland and considering the ways in which it was depicted.

  • A Steam Issue-48Pp HWM
    FROM WATER POWER TO WATT THE ENERGY REVOLUTION OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Jim Andrew In the seventeenth century, there were no steam engines, no electricity or vehicle fuel from petrol pumps. Power came from human and animal energy, enhanced by wind and water. Changes in water and steam technology in the late-seventeenth and eighteenth centuries contributed to the Industrial Revolution. © Birmingham Museums Trust Sarehole Mill. One of the two remaining water mills in the Birmingham area. 4 www.historywm.com FROM WATER POWER TO WATT ind power, as now, was limited by variations in the strength of the wind, making water the preferred reliable Wsource of significant power for regular activity. The Romans developed water wheels and used them for a variety of activities but the first definitive survey of water power in England was in the Doomsday Book c.1086. At that time, well over five-thousand mills were identified – most were the Norse design with a vertical shaft and horizontal disc of blades. Water-Wheel Technology Traditional water mills, with vertical wheels on horizontal shafts, were well established by the eighteenth century. Many were underpass designs where the water flowed under a wheel with paddles being pushed round by the flow. Over time, many mills adopted designs which had buckets, filled with water at various levels from quite low to the very top of the wheel. The power was extracted by the falling of the water from its entry point to where it was discharged. There was little systematic study of the efficiency of mill-wheel design in extracting energy from the water before the eighteenth century.
