  • Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA
    Baby Graves: Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA (Hons) Murd. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in accordance with the requirements of Murdoch University (School of Social Sciences and Humanities), Perth, Western Australia, June, 2006 i I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... (Your name) ii Abstract The thesis examines the problem of infant mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865- 1908. In particular it investigates why Merthyr Tydfil, an iron, steel and coal producing town in south Wales, experienced high infant mortality rates throughout the nineteenth century which rose by the end of the century despite sixty years of public health reforms. The historiography of infant mortality in nineteenth-century Britain includes few Welsh studies although the south Wales Coalfield played an important part in industrial and demographic change in Britain during the second half of the nineteenth century. The thesis argues that conditions of industrial development shaped the social, economic and public health experience in Merthyr, ensnaring its citizens in social disadvantage, reflected in the largely unacknowledged human toll among mothers and babies in that process. The thesis analyses the causes of over 17, 000 infant deaths in Merthyr Tydfil from the primary evidence of an unusually complete series of Medical Officer of Health Reports to identify the principal attributed causes of infant death and explain their social origins and context. The thesis examines the work of Dr.

Administrative history Poor law unions were established by the Poor Law (Amendment) Act of 1834, which provided for parishes (which until then had each individually provided poor relief for their own inhabitants) to be grouped together into unions. In each union a board of guardians was to be elected to be responsible for the administration of poor relief, with paid officials appointed to carry out the day to day work. Funding of relief was to continue on the same basis as before the Act, i.e. by means of poor rates, paid by all householders, and collected by the parish overseers. Relief to able-bodied applicants, and some non-able bodied, was to be available only in the workhouse, where conditions were to be such as to deter all but the genuinely destitute; however, outdoor relief (payment in money or in kind to individuals in their own homes) was allowed for the non-able bodied in certain circumstances.

A range of information sources were utilised to feed into the assessment. These included an analysis of the local housing registers, household projections, homelessness data, house prices, rental prices, household incomes, dwelling stock turnover and housing supply data. Household sizes were found to be increasingly smaller across all markets, with acute need for one and two bedroom properties. There is also a disparity in demand to live in specific areas across Merthyr Tydfil; the Town, Penydarren, Cyfarthfa and Dowlais Wards proving most popular. Whilst assessing the local housing market as a whole, this study specifically estimated the deficit of affordable housing within the County Borough. Overall,

  • Dear Customer Bedlinog Post Office® 36 High Street Bedlinog, Treharris
    Dear Customer Bedlinog Post Office® 36 High Street Bedlinog, Treharris, CF46 6RF Branch Temporary Closure We are writing to inform you that, regrettably, following the resignation of the postmaster and the withdrawal of the premises for Post Office use the above branch will be closing temporarily on Tuesday 24 December 2019 at 13:00. I would like to assure you that we are currently investigating the options available which will enable us to reinstate a Post Office service to the local community. In exploring this, it is important that any future service is sustainable for the person operating the service, and for Post Office Limited. Future provision will reflect customer numbers and usage and we may take the opportunity to establish an alternative type of service. This may be an outreach service where a postmaster from a nearby branch offers the facility with hours of opening set to reflect the likely number of customers who will use the service or a new style local branch which run alongside an established retail shop in newly refurbished premises and creates a more modern and convenient experience for customers. If you have any questions you would like to raise about this matter, please write to me via the National Consultation Team at the address shown at the end of the letter. Please note that your comments will not be kept confidential unless you expressly ask us do so by clearly marking them “In Confidence”. Any future changes to service provision would be handled in line with our Principles of Community Engagement. A copy is available at the end of this letter.
