  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.

  • The Restoration of Long Street Methodist School
    The restoration of long street methodist former schoolS 2018 INTRODUCTION The Long Street Methodist Church and Schools designed by the renowned local 20th century architect, Edgar Wood and built in 1900 was purchased from the Methodist Church in 2010 by the Heritage Trust North West (HTNW) and the Greater Manchester Building Preservation Trust (GMBPT). Over the last 8 years the GMBPT have been working in conjunction with Rochdale Council and the Heritage Trust North West to secure Heritage Lottery Funding for the restoration of the Former Schools to bring them back into use and to ensure there long term protection. In 2010 Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council secured a £2m Heritage Lottery Fund grant for the restoration of a selection of important buildings, including a number of Edgar Wood buildings which, upon completion, would put Middleton on the heritage map. The restoration of the former Schools at Long Street are the final piece in the Townscape Heritage Initiative and in November 2017 a £590,806 Townscape Heritage Initiative grant which, along with funding support from Viridor and the local community, enabled the Phase 1 works to be completed in September 2018 to safeguard the building fabric and to bring historic floorspace back into use as a community, conference and events venue. This book documents the condition of the building prior to the works, the works during restoration and the completed works to record this period in the life of the building.

ISSN 0309-2199 LOCATING OLDHAM COALPITS by I.G. Fanning Introduction In my earlier work, Oldham Coal (British Mining No.68), I tried to tell the history of the Oldham coal industry as accurately as possible from the few surviving documents. This history fell naturally into two parts, with the division falling about 1850. After 1850 it was reasonably easy to ascertain the locations of the collieries — after all, some of them survived into the 1950’s — but many of those worked before 1850 had vanished almost without trace. Due to editing constraints in BM68, it was not possible to include a chapter devoted to identifying the locations of these vanished enterprises. This information has now been compiled, together with the locations of later (i.e., post-1850) coalpits to form a separate paper which can be regarded as a supplement to the original work. Inevitably, there is some overlap between this Memoirs paper and BM68, but this is not very large. Anyone who found Oldham Coal interesting should find this memoir equally interesting, with a lot of new information. There will also be some people who found Oldham Coal a little boring, perhaps because of the amount of detail involved. Hopefully, these readers will find this document more interesting because it refers to areas of the town which they may know well and which are no longer industrial sites.
