Few subjects are as effective in drawing a good audience to a talk a local society, few themes retain the attention of students so successfully and, as a I found by listening in to a school visit at a Welsh castle recently, nothing so grips the imagination of children. But of course sewage, and all that went with it—schemes for new sewerage systems, public health crises, heartbreaking levels of infant mortality and deplorably bad housing— was among the hottest issues in social policy and domestic politics during the 1840s and 1850s. Generations of historians have researched and analysed the process whereby, slowly and at huge cost, civilised standards of urban living were gradually adopted and enforced in the second half of the nineteenth century. But there is still so much to discover. The emergence of effective local government, a seemingly unglamorous topic, was a fundamental change in Victorian society, but local circumstances were everywhere different. Sanitary reform and the improvement of public health was a crucial force in that process, but in researching individual communities the impact of particular personalities, the power of landowners, the influence of the local press, and the prevailing social and economic context are all of direct relevance to the process. As with so much else in local history, we can delve beneath the generalisations to find the specifics—the detail of what actually happened—and then, maybe, that detailed analysis in its turn informs the wider view. In this issue of The Local Historian there are three articles which I have collectively entitled ‘Aspects of urban government in the industrial age’. Arnold Harvey, in the first part of a detailed investigation of the London vestries of the Georgian and Regency periods—that extraordinary jigsaw of authorities which constituted the local government of the world’s largest city. He shows how the force of personalities, the legacy of centuries of organic evolution, and the almost paranoid government fear of the mob helped the shape the development of the capital. In his analysis of Huddersfield, one of the archetypal fast-growing industrial towns of the early Victorian period, David Griffiths highlights the role of the landowner in determining the emergence of urban government, and points to the often bitter political arguments which raged over the wisdom and merits not only of different policies towards pressing social problems, but also of the structures of administration themselves. Dennis Mills takes a fresh look at the sewerage issue, suggesting that although many local historians have investigating urban sanitation in the 1840s and 1850s, few have paid sufficient attention to the engineering dimensions, and to the part that civil engineers played in helping to resolve public health problems in the context of local government policy. Each of these articles demonstrates that continuing research on this familiar topic can provide new insights and understandings, and that—as Dennis Mills points out—other local historians can research their own communities and contribute to our knowledge of this crucial period in our history. But remember—reading some of the contemporary material requires a strong stomach! ALAN CROSBY 178 Aspects of urban government in the industrial age Parish politics: London vestries 1780–1830 (part 1) A. D. HARVEY Introduction At the beginning of the nineteenth century the metropolitan area outside the City of London—south-east Middlesex, north-east Surrey, north-west Kent and south-west Essex—was administered primarily by the vestries of over ninety ecclesiastical parishes.1 Some were still largely rural, built up only along the main roads leading out of the City. Others, such as Chelsea, where there were extensive nurseries, or Kensington, on the eastern edge of ‘the great garden … for the supply of London’, were substantial communities set amid greenery: Chelsea had a population of 11,604 in 1801 and 32,371 in 1831, and Kensington grew to over 20,000 inhabitants by 1831.2 From Hyde Park to Bow the built-up area extended without a break, though there were still odd corners in which to erect new dwellings. Altogether fourteen metropolitan parishes outside the City of London had populations of over 20,000 in 1801, and eighteen had over 30,000 in 1831 (including two, St Marylebone and St Pancras, with populations of more than 100,000). These parishes were major administrative entities—the civic leaders of St Luke’s Middlesex referred to themselves as ‘the Inhabitants of this extensive parish inferior in population only to six Cities and Towns in England and Wales’.3 Most of the surviving public buildings erected by nineteenth-century vestries belong to later in the century, but the vestry offices of St Martin in the Fields at the north-west corner of Trafalgar Square, blending harmoniously with the grand buildings all round the square, date from before 1830.

  • Urban Policing in Early Victorian England, 183586: a Reappraisal
    Urban Policing in Earlv Victorian J England, 1835-86: a reap p r ai sa1 Roger Swift Chester College of Higher Education hirty years have now elapsed since the publication of Jenifer Hart's seminal study of early Victorian policing.' Subsequently, the T historical debate on the development of policing in the towns and cities of early Victorian England has focused largely on three inter-related themes, namely the circumstances which prompted the advent of the 'new police', the levels of efficiency which the reformed forces attained, and the degree of public acceptability which they received. Police historians have been divided on these issues. Some, including Charles Reith, Sir Leon Radzinowicz, T. Critchley, and J.J. Tobias, have viewed provincial police reform largely in terms of the Benthamite march of progress, whereby the unreformed system was swept away by a centralised and efficient system for the prevention and detection of crime which owed much to the Metropolitan model established by Peel in 1829 and which soon received a general measure of public support and co-operation.' Others, including Robert Storch, David Philips and Tony Donajgrodzki, have argued that police reform was but one strand in the extension of control over working-class society and that the priorities, organisation and methods of ' J.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • Cleobury Mortimer
    Key Centre – Cleobury Mortimer Location 1 Summary of Settlement Study Area and Location Introduction Cleobury Mortimer, in south east Shropshire has been identified as a Key Centre within the Shropshire Pre-Submission Draft Local Plan (2020). This Green Infrastructure Strategy has defined the study area as a 1km buffer around this settlement. Cleobury Mortimer, is a rural market town located on the western side of the River Rea, just over 4km east of the Clee Hills and 3km west of the Wyre Forest. It is around 17km to the east of Ludlow and a similar distance to the west of Kidderminster. The town has a population of just over 3,000. And around 1,306 dwellings. Development context Existing development allocations in the town are set out in the SAMDev (2015)1, however the Shropshire Local Plan is currently being reviewed. The Pre-Submission Draft Local Plan (2020) proposes other sites, which are not yet adopted. The Shropshire Pre-Submission Draft Local Plan (2020) outlines that Cleobury Mortimer Town Council are developing a Neighbourhood Plan and so it is intended that Shropshire Council will work closely with the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group to provide an overall housing guideline for the town, with the Neighbourhood Plan determining how growth should be managed and potentially identifying a development boundary for the town and any specific allocations. The Plan Review identifies that the town has a remaining residential requirement of approximately 120 dwellings and 1ha of employment land to be delivered over the Plan period up to 2038. The locations of potential allocations to deliver these requirements are to be determined by the Neighbourhood Plan.
