  • A History of the University of Manchester Since 1951
    Pullan2004jkt 10/2/03 2:43 PM Page 1 University ofManchester A history ofthe HIS IS THE SECOND VOLUME of a history of the University of Manchester since 1951. It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well. It also examines the controversies of the 1970s and 1980s over such issues as feminism, free speech, ethical investment, academic freedom and the quest for efficient management. The author draws on official records, staff and student newspapers, and personal interviews with people who experienced the University in very 1973–90 different ways. With its wide range of academic interests and large student population, the University of Manchester was the biggest unitary university in the country, and its history illustrates the problems faced by almost all British universities. The book will appeal to past and present staff of the University and its alumni, and to anyone interested in the debates surrounding higher with MicheleAbendstern Brian Pullan education in the late twentieth century. A history of the University of Manchester 1951–73 by Brian Pullan with Michele Abendstern is also available from Manchester University Press.

The historical, aesthetic, evidential and communal significance of 37-39 Rochdale Road, Middleton - a pair of semi-detached houses designed by Edgar Wood Written by Nick Baker, Victoria Brandon, Richard Fletcher, David Morris and Veronica Smith. Compiled and Edited by David Morris July 2016 Heritage Trust for the North West Higherford Mill, Gisburn Road Barrowford, Nelson, Lancashire BB9 6JH Phone: 01282 877 686 Fax: 01282 691 511 Plate 2 Edgar Wood’s original design illustration from ‘the Architect’, 20th October 1893. Source: Manchester Libraries, Information and Archives, Manchester City Council Plate 3 1970s image of Hillcrest & Briarhill as built. Source: Middleton Local Studies Library. 1 FOREWORD Hillcrest & Briarhill, 37-39 Rochdale Road, Middleton have not been previously studied. Until very recently, almost nothing was known about them, not even their names. They were believed to be Edgar Wood designs of the 1890s. However, they did not fit the romantic image of Wood as an vernacular revivalist. Everything was wrong about the building. It was too big, too strident, in the wrong materials and the wrong style, if it had any style at all. As a consequence, Nikolaus Pevsner avoided it in his 1969 South Lancashire edition of the Buildings of England Series, as did Clare Hartwell and Matthew Hyde in the larger 2004 volume. Even John Archer only mentioned it once. English Heritage likewise left it off when updating the area’s listed buildings in the 1980s.

    ECCLES STATION NEWS “... better than The Times! ... or so we are told by one of our regular readers! SEPTEMBER 2013 This copy of ESN has local railway news; a look at the local impacts of the Beeching Report, and a brand new itinerary for your day out...have you heard of ‘The Golden Cluster’? Editor NEWS Sunday 6th October will be the next Freccles gardening and clean up day at the station. If you fancy a bit of light exercise in company then do come along, and bring your friends too. Freccles member Mark Charnley takes a break from his job at Network Rail to do some real work at a Freccles Clear Up Day. Photo: J E Rayner 1 Network Rail is spending £13m on the Southport to Wigan Wallgate line. Work started on the 12th August with the majority due to be completed by December. Most of the work will take place overnight when trains are not running but there will be some effect on late evening services between Southport and Wigan, Monday to Thursday. Martin Frobisher, Network Rail Area Director commented: “The investment we are making will provide a smoother ride and a more reliable service for passengers travelling between Southport and Wigan. The track here along this route is extremely old and was beginning to have an adverse affect on train punctuality. We’ll be replacing over 11 miles of track which will allow more trains to run on time along this important route.” Eccles station got the hump in August when Network Rail installed a Harrington Hump on the Manchester platform.

Some academics murmured of ‘going private’, but it was seldom clear what they had in mind; perhaps they dreamed of some English parallel to Ivy League universities, small, select and well groomed, supported by massive fees and the donations of prosperous alumni (a body which the University of Manchester had hitherto failed to cultivate as a source of support). The University was again forced to adopt a host of economy mea- sures, some of them seemingly trivial, and puritans began to attack minor extravagances as grave lapses of discipline. On the other hand the University had to think of selling its services and of collaborating, not only with public institutions and Government departments, but also with industrial and commercial concerns. Its purpose in doing so was not just to raise money, but to demonstrate its usefulness to soci- ety and the economy, to win friends and restore itself to favour; it was important not to get involved in contract or consultancy work which would increase income but have no academic value, or produce results which might be used for intellectually dishonest or nefarious purposes. The University had to consider methods of increasing fee income, for example by pulling in the overseas students who were obliged to pay the full costs of their courses and had therefore become an important financial asset. Modular part-time degrees, enabling mature students to work at any pace they chose and accumulate the necessary credits over several years, would provide alternatives to the intensive courses which traditionally turned out young graduates.
