The MetroGreen Area Action Plan will provide detailed planning policies and guidance designed to regenerate the area. The Area Action Plan involves the identification of key constraints to development and an archaeological assessment was a requirement of this process. This report assesses the archaeological history of MetroGreen to identify potential archaeological constraints present in the site. A constraints plan has been prepared which shows the archaeological potential in various parts of MetroGreen. 1.1.2 The assessment found that there is low potential for archaeological deposits to survive in MetroGreen. The history of MetroGreen is dominated by coal extraction and industrial or modern development. While there is some evidence for occupation in the immediate area prior to the Post Medieval Period, it is clear MetroGreen was predominantly an undeveloped agricultural landscape on the banks of the Tyne prior to the 19th century. 1.1.3 The agricultural landscape was skirted by several Waggonways, which brought coal from the extraction areas to export from the Tyne. However, like the early industrial developments around MetroGreen, it seems unlikely that substantial evidence of these early proto-railways will have survived subsequent development. It is likely that pockets of undisturbed ground and archaeological deposits relating to the site’s early industrial history remain, but there are no large plots of ground where this can be clearly identified. 1.1.4 Analysis of the baseline data categorised the site as having predominantly low, or negligible archaeological potential. One area at the eastern end of the site (2F) was assessed as having moderate potential for Historic built heritage. This area also incorporates the only designated heritage asset within the site boundary, the Grade II Listed Parish School. 1.1.5 The scope of this Archaeological Assessment is limited and it is not intended to replace a detailed and focussed archaeological Desk Based Assessment (DBA) required as part of the detailed planning process.

  • Slave Trade and Slavery
    Remembering Slavery Slave trade, slavery and abolition: the north east of England connections By John Charlton 2. Introduction It is two hundred years since Parliament ended British involvement in the slave trade. As part of the national commemoration of this important moment in history, a group of local archives and libraries in the north east established a project to search their collections for material connected to the slave trade, slavery and the movements for abolition. The Remembering Slavery 2007 Archive Mapping and Research Project led by the Literary & Philosophical Society (Lit & Phil) appointed Sean Creighton as Project Officer. Sean assembled a group of volunteers to search the collections. This brief guide indicates the areas covered and summarises the fully referenced guide or resource pack which will be lodged at the four participating institutions. In addition to this, Hidden Chains: the Slavery Business and North East England by John Charlton will be published by Tyne Bridge Publishing in Autumn 2008 ISBN 9781857951233; for further details, see www.tynebridgepublishing.co.uk.

Heterotopias of Memory: Cultural Memory in and around Newcastle upon Tyne Eleanor Bavidge A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2009 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the University of Sunderland for the financial support I received during the research for this thesis. My primary thanks go to Professor John Storey for his positive and stimulating supervision. But thanks go to everyone at the Centre for Research in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Sunderland for being such sociable and supportive colleagues. They have been good friends and role models. In particular, Dr Angela Werndly and Dr Clarissa Smith have always offered cheerful support and much needed perspective over the years. I would also like to thank Professor Andrew Crisell for listening to my ideas on various late night car journeys and, along with Angela Smith, for constructively commenting on my work during the writing of this thesis. Outside of the University, Jon Davies has been kind enough to lend me his books long-term and has been an excellent source of information. Personal thanks go to all my family, particularly, to my father. If I ever doubted it before I now know that his saintliness knows no bounds.

Covering 70 square miles of the beautiful and historic Derwent Valley and its surroundings, this is one of the north east’s most rewarding areas to explore. But the Derwent Valley hasn’t always been the tranquil place you’ll find today. It was a cradle of the Industrial Revolution, with a booming iron and steel industry that lasted from the 1690s right up until the 1980s. You’ll find the legacy of metalworking throughout the Land of Oak & Iron. Industry left its mark on the landscape, with forges and furnaces. It also shaped local communities, influencing traditions such as rapper dancing and the writings of ommyT Armstrong, the pitman poet. Nowadays the old industries have fallen silent. Nature is reclaiming the valley, creating a rich patchwork of woodlands, riverbanks and grasslands. These habitats support a wide range of species such as otters, kingfishers and red kites, which are making a comeback.

I came across the typescript for this history among my father's papers shortly after he died in 1991. It appears to have been written initially around 1978 and then rewritten and rearranged several times before being abandoned. As a result, I had quite a confusing collection of papers. Some chapters existed in several quite different versions without any indication as to which was the latest one. There were also apparent gaps where a page didn't logically follow from any other extant page or didn't have an obvious successor. I have attempted to arrange the material in a coherent way and to make good the gaps as best I could to bring the work to a form I think my father would have approved of. I've also updated the material to some extent to reflect some of the changes that have occurred since 1978. Brian Pears, Low Fell, 2010. High Spen and District. Page 2. 1. Introduction. I started to write a history of Methodism in Spen, but as this touched on so many other aspects of village life, I decided to make it a more general history of the place. Then it became obvious that it would be difficult not to include Victoria Garesfield too because its mine workings reached under the Spen, and many of the workers at that colliery lived there.

  • Space, Gender & Hierarchy in British Gangland Film
    BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE: Space, Gender & Hierarchy in British Gangland Film Sally Tatham Robertson Williams Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD October 2010 Acknowledgements Firstly, I‟d like to thank Alan Brooke for his unfailing enthusiasm, encouragement and inspiration throughout an unexpected academic journey, which he initiated over a decade ago: following my enquiry regarding a weekly evening class in the History of Art, he persuaded me instead to embark upon a full-time BA (Hons) in Cultural Studies, subsequently employing me as lecturer and tutor on the course team and beyond! Thanks also to Dr Penny Lane, who insisted I should „consider‟ a PhD (and subsequently refused to take no for an answer); to Jenny Bloodworth, for her friendship when I needed it most; and to my supervisors, Professor Tony Shaw and Dr Steven Peacock, without whom this thesis would not have seen the light of day. Most of all, however, I am of course indebted to my family for their enduring patience, love and support: it goes without saying that I wouldn‟t have achieved any of this without you. i Abstract A principal aim of this research has been to establish the capacity of British Gangland film to articulate its era of production through the cinematic interpretation of contemporary concerns and anxieties in narratives relating to the criminal underworld. In order to do so, the study has concentrated on the analysis of space, gender and hierarchy within representative generic texts produced between 1945 and the present.
