This story of gardens is an element of Manchester’s history which has been neglected despite fundamentally reflecting the social and economic changes accompanying the industrial revolution. Manchester was once renowned for its horticulture and floriculture. At one time it was able to host as many as eight flower shows each year and it lay at the very centre of the gooseberry-growers’ world for more than a hundred years. Professional and amateur growers of plants were known – and their introductions disseminated – nationwide. Examining the various ways in which the love of plants and gardens were experienced reveals how, as in many other areas of life, class divisions grew and were aggravated. The middle classes attempted to impose their values upon the workers, whether through fear or altruism. Leisure was indivisible from gardens and the wider appreciation of nature, whether this was the private grounds of the wealthier, the public gardens with their range of activities, or places visited by the poor during Whit Week. Such activities also led to friction – theft of plants from private gardens; rowdy behaviour in public ones. Gardens exist within a social and economic framework and their story cannot be told without reference to this and how they and it altered over time. Personal and civic prosperity and poverty, social, legal and environmental changes and different philosophical ideas lie behind the story of Manchester’s horticultural heritage. i Acknowledgements My first thanks must go to my family, particularly to those who set out on their own academic adventures around the same time as I did and who achieved their goals much sooner. To my brother David, who attained both an MPhil and an MLitt; to my nephew Stephen who completed his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and my niece Claire who punctuated her time achieving a Doctorate in Veterinary Science by producing two wonderful children, Euan and Emily, thereby giving me the status of honorary grandmother. They all encouraged me to continue when the going got tough and their hard work and success shamed me into completing this work. My thanks also to my son Chris, who has learned how to appear interested and to remember to ask after my progress. My colleagues of the Cheshire Gardens Trust have also been supportive and very patient while I completed this work – at least they have benefited by a number of articles for the Newsletter. My thanks especially to Barbara and Pat, who have borne the brunt of pushing ahead with the Caldwell Nurseries Project over the past years; I will now be able to turn my attention back to that. Special thanks must go to John Edmondson for thinking of me when he received a query about Charles White from Henry Noltie and to Henry for kindly photocopying the letter and lists he had found in the archives at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. I am only sorry it was not possible to make more use of this. Thanks must also go to all those who have been responsible for digitising newspapers, books and magazines and making them available on the web. Their names are unknown but they have been invaluable – without them this study would have stalled at an early date. It is important also to thank Ann Brooks, without whose example and encouragement I would never have started; Ed Bennis who was my supervisor at the beginning of the study and Jim Aulich who filled his shoes; my fellow students, in particular Melanie Horton and Alison Slater, for their support, encouragement and interest. Thanks also to James Akers who has shown that, even at the point of completion, there is yet more information to be uncovered. ii Finally thanks to Keith who has kept my garden under control while I have been otherwise engaged and to Spud, Mishka, Spice and Dizzy, who have both kept me company and been a general hindrance. iii Tables, maps & images Maps are referenced thus: Digital Archives: Casson & Berry (1751); Green (1794); Ordnance Survey 1844-49 (1850); Cheshire Tithe maps (Chester Record Office) Ordnance Survey: (1875) Unless otherwise specified, photos are author’s own Maps of Manchester c. 1750-1850 1 Population statistics 1801 and 1851 5 Nursery at Broughton Spout (1850) 59 Lodge’s nursery at Broughton Lane (1850) 63 Lodge’s nursery at Singleton Brook (1850) 64 Cunningham & Orr’s Nursery (1850) 66 Thomas Bounds’ Nursery (1850) 68 Temple House, home to Philip Lucas (1850) 74 Comparison of trees stocked by Perfect, Turner and Butler 85-6 Trees provided by Dicksons for Henry Potts of Chester 87 Trees provided by John Rogers for Henry Potts of Chester 88 Comparison of fruits stocked by different nurseries 91-2 Label for Peach ‘Barrington’ on wall at Castle Gardens, Frodsham 94 Roses purchased by Samuel Greg from William Caldwell 98 Auriculas staged at Malvern Flower Show, 2009 101 Tulips ‘Julia Farnese’ and ‘James Wild’, courtesy Wakefield and North of England Tulip Society 106 The area around St. Peter’s Church (1794) and (1850) 137 Gardens in Granby Row (1794) and same area (1850) 139 Developments in Hulme and Chorlton-upon-Medlock (1850) 141 Comparative Population growth in the suburban townships 1773-1851 144 iv Centre of Manchester (1751) 172 Plan of Manchester in 1650, As reproduced on Casson & Berry’s map of 1751 174 New Gardens from 1650 Plan of Manchester 175 Detached gardens towards Strangeways and at Walker’s Croft (1794) 175 Gardens behind Deansgate (1794); Same area fifty years later (1850) 176 Plan of 2 Gardens situate at Cheetwood belonging Charles White Esqr 178 Detached Gardens near Mount Pleasant (1850) 179 Gardens around Ardwick Green (1794) 186 Gardens in Higher Ardwick (1794) 187 Stocks (J.

  • The Early Bryologists of South West Yorkshire
    THE EARLY BRYOLOGISTS OF SOUTH WEST YORKSHIRE by Tom Blockeel [Bulletin of the British Bryological Society, 38, 38-48 (July 1981)] This account brings together information which I have encountered during work on the bryology of South West Yorkshire (v.-c. 63). It lays no claim to originality, but is rather a collation of biographical data from disparate sources, and is presented here in the hope that it may be of interest to readers. I have confined myself largely to those botanists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who made significant contributions to the bryology of v.-c. 63. If there are any omissions or other deficiencies, I should be grateful to hear of them, and of any additional information which readers may have to hand. The Parish of Halifax has been a centre of bryological tradition for over two hundred years. It was there that there appeared, in 1775, the first contribution of substance to South Yorkshire bryology, in the form of an anonymous catalogue of plants published as an appendix to the Rev. J. Watson’s History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax. Traditionally, the catalogue was attributed to James Bolton (d. 1799) of Stannary, near Halifax, whose life was researched by Charles Crossland at the beginning of this century (Crump & Crossland, 1904; Crossland, 1908, 1910). Bolton was the author of fine illustrated botanical works, notably Filices Britannicae and the History of Fungusses growing about Halifax, the latter being the first British work exclusively devoted to fungi. However, his work extended beyond the purely botanical. Shortly after the completion of the History of Fungusses, which was dedicated to and sponsored by Henry, the sixth earl of Gainsborough, Bolton wrote to his friend John Ingham: ‘You must know, John, that I have been so long tilted between roses and toadstools, and back again from toadstools to roses, that I am wearied out with both for the present, and wish (by way of recreation only) to turn for awhile to some other page in the great volume.
