  • Building Birmingham: a Tour in Three Parts of the Building Stones Used in the City Centre
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 3 Building Birmingham: A tour in three parts of the building stones used in the city centre. Part 3. Around the shops from the ‘Back of Rackham’s’ to the Bullring Ruth Siddall, Julie Schroder and Laura Hamilton The name ‘Birmingham’ is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Beormingahām, alluding to the home of the Beormingas clan and their settlement here was probably established as early as the 7th Century A.D. However the centre remained a poor region until the later 12th Century when Peter de Bermingham, local lord of the manor, developed a market centre around his castle, in the area that is now the Bull Ring. From then Birmingham’s economy began to take off and it became established as a small market town. The Bull Ring has also been shown to be an area of light industry at this time. Archaeological excavations carried out during the latest phase of construction in the early 2000s have revealed evidence of potters’ workshops and leatherworks during the 13th Century. This building stone walk focuses on the old centre of Birmingham, around the church of St Martin in the Bull Ring and the surrounding shopping malls. The area demonstrates continuity as a centre for trade and retail but the building materials used here have changed beyond those that would have been familiar to Peter de Bermingham and his family. The area has been transformed over the last two decades, and though the oldest part of the city of Birmingham, it is now the symbol of a new vibrant centre, with the covered markets replaced by glamorous shopping malls.

  • Soho Depicted: Prints, Drawings and Watercolours of Matthew Boulton, His Manufactory and Estate, 1760-1809
    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and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.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. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. 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.

  • APPENDIX 2 Full Business Case (FBC) 1. General Information
    APPENDIX 2 Full Business Case (FBC) 1. General Information Directorate Economy Portfolio/Committee Leader’s Portfolio Project Title Jewellery Project Code Revenue TA- Quarter 01843-01 Cemeteries Capital – to follow Project Description Aims and Objectives The project aims to reinstate, restore and improve the damaged and vulnerable fabric of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter cemeteries – Key Hill and Warstone Lane – and make that heritage more accessible to a wider range of people. Their importance is recognised in the Grade II* status of Key Hill Cemetery in the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest, and the Grade II status of Warstone Lane Cemetery. The project is an integral part of the wider heritage of the Jewellery Quarter and complements the other heritage investment taking place here, such as the JQ Townscape Heritage programme and the completion of the Coffin Works (both part-funded by HLF). Heritage is a key part of the Jewellery Quarter with over 200 listed buildings and four other museums (Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, Pen Room, Coffin Works, JW Evans). The funding provides an opportunity to bring much needed investment to conserve and enhance two important listed cemeteries, providing a resource and opportunities for visitors and residents alike to visit, enjoy and get involved with. The project will deliver the following (full details are set out in the Design Specification): Full 10-year management and maintenance plans for both cemeteries Interpretation plan Capital works - Warstone Lane cemetery Reinstatement of the historical boundary railings (removed in the 1950s), stone piers and entrance gates on all road frontages; Resurfacing pathways to improve access; Renovation of the catacomb stonework and installation of a safety balustrade; Creation of a new Garden of Memory and Reflection in the form of a paved seating area reinterpreting the footprint of the former (now demolished) chapel; General tree and vegetation management.

    Statistical Analysis of the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Acid Deposition in the West Midlands, England, United Kingdom A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Avery Rose Cota-Guertin IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Dr. Howard Mooers January 2012 © Avery Rose Cota-Guertin 2012 Acknowledgements I would like to take this time to thank those people who played a crucial part in the completion of this thesis. I would like to thank my mother, Roxanne, and father, Jim. Without their unconditional love and support I would not be where I am today. I would also like to thank my husband, Greg, for his continued and everlasting support. With this I owe them all greatly for being my rock through this entire process. I would like to thank my thesis committee members for their guidance and support throughout this journey. First and foremost, I would like to thank my academic advisor, Dr. Howard Mooers, for the advisement and mentoring necessary for a successful completion. Secondly, I would like to extend great thanks to Dr. Ron Regal for patiently mentoring me through the rollercoaster ride of Statistical Analysis Software (SAS). Without his assistance in learning SAS techniques and procedures I would still be drowning in a sea of coding procedures. And thank you to Dr. Erik Brown for taking the time to serve on my thesis committee for the past two years. For taking the time out of his busy schedule to meet with Howard and me during our trip to England, I owe a great thanks to Dr.
