From Manchester to Burnley: Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth and His Contribution to the Moral and Physical Welfare of the Poor in the Periods 1828-1835 and 1842-1877 FROM MANCHESTER TO BURNLEY: SIR JAMES KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH AND HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE MORAL AND PHYSICAL WELFARE OF THE POOR IN THE PERIODS 1828-1835 AND 1842-1877 by Catherine Janet Shutt BA (Hons) MA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of MPhil at the University of Central Lancashire June 2014 1 STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution _________________________________________________________________ Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work _________________________________________________________________ Signature of Candidate ______________________________________________________ Type of Award ______________________________________________________ School _______________________________________________________ 2 Abstract This study presents evidence that the noted Victorian educationalist, Sir James Kay- Shuttleworth, was willing and able to implement a number of his own theories designed to improve the moral and physical welfare of the poor. The thesis compares the time Kay- Shuttleworth spent in Manchester as a physician to the poor, and his own effort at social investigation that resulted in the publication of the pamphlet, The Moral and Physical Condition of the Working Classes Employed in the Cotton Manufacture in Manchester, with evidence from his activities in Burnley and Padiham, Lancashire, where he became a member of the landed elite due to his marriage. It is argued that after his retirement from public duties in 1849, Kay-Shuttleworth was able to fulfil the role of a paternalistic landowner, and attempted to use his own theories to improve the condition of the poor. He used his newly acquired disposable wealth to build upon the public recognition that his professional career had helped him to establish in order to interact with the poor. He consistently argued that educational provision was the most effective means of working class improvement. Kay-Shuttleworth also remained involved with issues in Manchester after he had moved away, becoming particularly active with the distribution of relief during the cotton famine. A continued involvement in national educational matters also later diverted Kay-Shuttleworth's attentions away from Burnley and Padiham, although he remained active in the improvement of the poor until his death in 1877. 3 Table of Contents List of Tables and Illustrative Material .................................................................................. 5 List of Appendices ................................................................................................................ 6 Acknowledgements .............................................................................................................. 7 Chapter One: Introduction .................................................................................................... 8 Chapter Two: Literature Review ......................................................................................... 18 Chapter Three: Sources and Methods ............................................................................... 30 Part One: Manchester 1828 to 1835................................................................................ 41 Chapter Four: Doctor James Kay in Manchester 1828 to 1835 ......................................... 42 Part Two: Burnley, Padiham and Lancashire 1842 to 1877 .......................................... 69 Chapter Five: Kay-Shuttleworth and the Provision of Education in Burnley and Padiham 70 Chapter Six: Kay-Shuttleworth's Emergence into Local Society: Burnley and Padiham .... 87 Chapter Seven: Kay-Shuttleworth's Activities Further Afield ............................................ 103 Chapter Eight: Conclusions ............................................................................................. 113 Appendices ...................................................................................................................... 124 Appendix A: Most notable Publications of Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth ................................... 124 Appendix B: A list of the members of the Burnley Relief Committee 1862-1863 ...................... 126 Bibliography ..................................................................................................................... 128 Primary Sources ...................................................................................................................... 128 Secondary Sources ................................................................................................................. 131 4 List of Tables and Illustrative Material Table One Number of candidates examined by the East Lancashire Union, 1857 to 1871.................82 Table Two Number of people receiving aid from the Burnley Relief Committee, October 1862 to March 1863.........................................................................................................................99 Table Three Amount of relief issued by the Burnley Relief Committee, September 1862 to March 1863....................................................................................................................................99 5 List of Appendices Appendix A Most notable Publications of Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth................................................124 Appendix B List of members of the Burnley Relief Committee 1862 to 1863.......................................126 6 Acknowledgements I have been fortunate that several individuals have supported me during the writing of this thesis. My initial interest in the topic of Kay-Shuttleworth and Burnley was stimulated by my time studying in Leeds and I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to take this interest further under the guidance of my supervisory team. In particular, I would like to thank Dr Keith Vernon for his support, particularly during my examination, and the insightful and thought provoking feedback he provided on many occasions. I would also like to thank colleagues at the various jobs I have had whilst completing this research. These include Mike Millward at Gawthorpe Hall and Kiara Clarke, for her understanding and unexpected, but very gratefully received, help with proof reading. My family have also been supportive, and I would like to thank Gill Heath and Chris Kingsbury for their help and Martha Shutt for her assistance with grammar and spelling. Finally, and most importantly, I would never have completed this research without the support, encouragement, understanding and endless patience of my parents, Heather and Graham. For this I am eternally grateful and extremely thankful. 7 Chapter One Introduction This thesis will describe and assess Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth's contributions to initiatives aimed at improving the moral and physical welfare of the poor both in Manchester, where he began his career as a physician and lived between 1828 and 1835, and in Burnley and Padiham, Lancashire, where Kay-Shuttleworth relocated in 1842 and remained until his death in 1877. It will examine Kay-Shuttleworth's activities in both of these areas, as well as investigating his continued involvement in Manchester even after he moved away. Examining these areas will allow for an assessment of Kay-Shuttleworth's interventions at a local level in physical reforms such as public health, and moral reforms such as education, as well as assessing how willing he was to actively contribute to improve conditions for the poor. Kay-Shuttleworth was a hugely important and influential figure in Victorian social welfare. He was active in public health reforms, the implementation of the new Poor Law, and is widely regarded by historians as the founder of elementary education. Kay- Shuttleworth's professional career was illustrious and his public reputation notable. Furthermore, he was an upwardly mobile individual, who progressed from a lower middle class student doctor, through the ranks of the professional middle classes, to gain a prominent social position as a member of the traditional and established landed elite with huge disposable wealth. Such a journey is unusual, and provided Kay-Shuttleworth with many opportunities that make him a very intriguing character to study. Kay-Shuttleworth's background therefore deserves some consideration. James Phillips Kay was born into a modest middle class family in Rochdale on 20 July, 1804, the oldest of six children.1 Educated at Leaf Square Grammar School in Pendleton, a school set up solely for educating the children of Protestant Dissenters, Kay studied medicine at Edinburgh University between 1824 and 1827. Despite some ill health which would later blight his career, Kay graduated from the university with a Doctor of Medicine degree, and additionally sat a preliminary examination in the arts – a private examination held in the home of a professor designed to test medical knowledge, as well as literary 1 Note that James Phillips Kay became Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth as a result of his marriage in 1842. Therefore I will refer to 'Kay' before this date and 'Kay-Shuttleworth' afterwards. 8 attainments and Latin – which he passed.2 As a student, he lived in the New Town

  • Book Review: River Calder
    Book review: River Calder by Pam Norfolk [email protected] Tucked away in the well-trodden Lancashire countryside near Burnley is the mysteriously named Valley of the Goblins. The real name of this wild, isolated and beautiful spot is Thursden, part of a popular walking route which follows the River Calder. ‘Thurses’ were supernatural goblins or poltergeists in the Middle Ages and locals believed that one of their last haunts was the Thursden Valley. The ancients, many of whom were buried in this uncompromising place, also believed that the Norse god Thor lived here and created thunder by banging his giant hammer against the rocks below Rieve Edge. Within the valley is a stream which eventually becomes the River Calder, the shortest in England and one of three rivers (the others being the Ribble and Hodder) which meet in Mitton. The Calder was once described as ‘the Cinderella’ of the trio because of its industrial past but it has been undergoing something of a renaissance. The fish are coming back, over a million trees have been planted in the nearby moorland cloughs, abandoned coal mines no longer discharge into local streams and the Ribble Rivers Trust is working hard to improve the waters and to celebrate a new era for this rich and historic area, Burnley Borough Councillor and Burnley Civic Society chairman Roger Frost has collaborated with Ian Thompson and Victoria Dewhurst on this fully illustrated guide. The river passes through Holme Chapel, Walk Mill, Burnley, Padiham, Altham and Whalley before joining the Ribble near Great Mitton. It lies in the shadow of brooding Pendle Hill and its name essentially means ‘fast-flowing water.’ And the Calder can certainly be perilous.

  • Representing the Country!
    ISSUE 74: December 2019 Representing the country! At Shuttleworth, we’re always proud of our students, but we are especially delighted for four of our young women as they have been selected to represent their countries in three different sports! Year 8 students Macie Gidley & Isla Parker-Smeeth (Image right courtesy of UKCA) have recently returned from Takasaki, Japan, where they have competed as part of Team UK in the World Championships for Cheer and Urban Dance. Both girls usually dance for Clarets Cheer and have been rehearsing for a year with Team UK following their successful try-outs. Team UK had incredible success at the Championships, with a 2nd Place finish in Urban Cheer, in which both girls competed, and a 2nd Place in Cheer, in which Isla competed. (Image left courtesy of Yvette Redmond.) Isla said, “the best thing about the Championships was standing on the podium and hearing the national anthems being played because it was really special and we were proud of ourselves”. Macie added, “we got to meet people from lots of different countries—everyone was really kind and friendly which made it a positive experience”. Both girls managed to fit in some sight-seeing on their last day, after an action-packed week. Isla’s highlight was the famous Shibuya crossing in Tokyo, while Macie visited a park and shrines. You may remember we featured Lou Lou Newton (Year 9, image right courtesy of the Newton family) in the first newsletter of this year when she attended a Talent Identification Day for the Football Association and now we’re

    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

  • PROGRAMME of EVENTS SEPTEMBER 7–30 2017 Pennine Lancashire Is Shaped by Textiles; They Are Woven Through Its Social and Urban Fabric
    PROGRAMME OF EVENTS SEPTEMBER 7–30 2017 Pennine Lancashire is shaped by textiles; they are woven through its social and urban fabric. By the end of the 19th century the area, stretching along the banks of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, was producing 85% of the world’s cotton goods and it was this global trade that brought thousands of workers to drive its mills over the ensuing centuries, building a creative, industrious and diverse population that shapes the area today. Drawing on this rich heritage, Fabrications is the UK’s first festival that celebrates and explores textiles and the textile industry through the eyes of artists. Taking place in galleries, museums and former textile mills across Blackburn, Hyndburn, Burnley and Pendle throughout September, the festival presents something for everyone with exhibitions, residencies, workshops, a craft fair hosted by Selvedge magazine and major art installations and performances including the premiere of Suzanne Lacy’s film produced with the people of Pendle.
