Laurence Edwards Messums London 75
74 THE DONCASTER HEADS 75 In late 2017 Doncaster Council commissioned Laurence Edwards to create a sculpture to celebrate its mining history. Little did he know he was about to embark on a transformative journey. This publication celebrates and marks the first phase of the project. The finished sculpture is due to be unveiled in May 2020.

Collieries were the highest structures around: the headstocks with their spinning wheels, the For several months Laurence toured the pubs, clubs and community halls of the Doncaster region, speaking to miners and non-stop chunters of the winding engines. Power station cooling-towers made their own weather. Nodding donkeys pumped mining families in the city and its villages. Then he began a remarkable process, positioned somewhere between oral history drifts dry. Slagheaps leaked black streams, tracked with tyre-marks. I had a strong sense as a child of knowing only one storey and performance art. He would meet up to three mine-workers a day, and with each person would sit for two hours, modelling of the landscape, walking the surface above an invisible underworld of tunnels and shafts that ran for thousands of miles. -

' The Police Committee Special Sub-Committee at their meeting on 24 January 19.85 approved this report and recommended that it should be presented to the Police Committee for their approval. In doing so, they wish to place on record their appreciation and gratitude to all the members of the County Council's Department of Administration who have assisted and advised the Sub-Committee in their inquiry or who have been involved in the preparation of this report, in particular Anne Conaty (Assistant Solicitor), Len Cooksey (Committee Administrator), Elizabeth Griffiths (Secretary to the Deputy County Clerk) and David Hainsworth (Deputy County Clerk). (Councillor Dawson reserved his position on the report and the Sub-Committee agreed to consider a minority report from him). ----------------------- ~~- -1- • Frontispiece "There were many lessons to be learned from the steel strike and from the Police point of view the most valuable lesson was that to be derived from maintaining traditional Police methods of being firm but fair and resorting to minimum force by way of bodily contact and avoiding the use of weapons. My feelings on Police strategy in industrial disputes and also those of one of my predecessors, Sir Philip Knights, are encapsulated in our replies to questions asked of us when we appeared before the House of Commons Select Committee on Employment on Wednesday 27 February 1980. I said 'I would hope that despite all the problems that we have you will still allow us to have our discretion and you will not move towards the Army, CRS-type policing, or anything like that. -

This is an area that formed the core of Doncaster’s Roman pottery production, with pottery kilns frequently found, including in Aukley. One further monument, one findspot and one event are recorded within the buffer. These comprise the findspot of a Neolithic or Bronze Age axe or adze, a geophysical survey which indicated the presence of a pit and the pit itself which contained late Neolithic to early Bronze Age pottery and flint. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site. One grade II listed structure is recorded within the buffer; a mounting block adjacent to the Eagle and Child public house. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project recorded 20th century sand and gravel extraction sites within the buffer to the west and south of the site. -

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. -

One findspot is recorded within the buffer. The site is at the northwest edge of an area where many pottery kilns have been recorded, associated with a major pottery industry concentrated to the east of Doncaster in the Roman period. The supposed route of a major Roman road from Lincoln to York, via Bawtry and Doncaster, runs through the site and buffer on a southeast to northwest alignment, though its exact location has not been proved within this area and remains speculative. A Roman coin was found in a field near the crematorium, near the northeast edge of the buffer. No Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings are recorded within the site or buffer zone. -

These are all associated with Iron Age to Roman activity, including two enclosures recorded through cropmark evidence and geophysical survey, and two pottery kilns, one within an enclosure, the other outside. One of the enclosures was interpreted as a possible settlement site. The strong magnetic signature of the kilns indicated a considerable quantity of burnt clay. It was noted that the geological background would otherwise make identification of infilled ditch-features difficult through geophysical survey. The site is at the northwest edge of an area where many pottery kilns have been recorded, associated with a major pottery industry concentrated to the east of Doncaster in the Roman period. It is unclear whether the features were excavated; the SMR records only refer to geophysical survey and surface finds but the HEC data for this site states that kilns were excavated in this area. -
'Voices of Frickley': the Struggles of the Miners at a Yorkshire Colliery, 1984-1993
... - 'VOICES OF FRICKLEY': THE STRUGGLES OF THE MINERS AT A YORKSHIRE COLLIERY, 1984-1993 J. E. Nightingale University of Sheffield Submitted for the degree of PhD, 1997. .. 'VOICES OF FRICKLEY': THE STRUGGLES OF THE MINERS AT A YORKSHIRE COLLIERY, 1984-1993 James Edwin Nightingale Submitted for the degree of PhD, the University of Sheffield, Department of History, October 1997. - ., 'VOICES OF FRICKLEY': THE STRUGGLES OF THE MINERS AT A YORKSHIRE COLLIERY, 1984-1993 James Edwin Nightingale In this study the author focuses on the actIvItles of the National Uniol1" of Mineworkers at Frickley Colliery during ten years of industrial conflict prior to the - pit's closure in November 1993. While the initial part of this period, the 1984-85 miners' strike, has been well documented by scholars, the conflict in the following years has received scant attention. Following the miners' defeat, the NUM members at Frickley played an important part in sustaining the tradition of niilitant trade unionism in the Yorkshire coalfield at a time of general retreat for the British labour movement. Other studies have concentrated mainly on the activities of union leaders and management figures when chronicling the confrontation in the coalfields."In contrast, a substantial part of the present author's account is based on the oral testimonies of pit level activists, thus aspects of the conflict that have been otherwise ignored or overlooked are brought to light. At the core of the study is the contention that the labour movement had become disabled by the defeatist notion of 'new realism'. Moreover, it is illustrated how the NUM leadership in Yorkshire, conventionally portrayed as being militant, was often instrumental in suffocating the resistance of the NUM rank and file as they challenged the authoritarian working practices being imposed by the management of the industry .
