  • Building Birmingham: a Tour in Three Parts of the Building Stones Used in the City Centre
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 3 Building Birmingham: A tour in three parts of the building stones used in the city centre. Part 3. Around the shops from the ‘Back of Rackham’s’ to the Bullring Ruth Siddall, Julie Schroder and Laura Hamilton The name ‘Birmingham’ is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Beormingahām, alluding to the home of the Beormingas clan and their settlement here was probably established as early as the 7th Century A.D. However the centre remained a poor region until the later 12th Century when Peter de Bermingham, local lord of the manor, developed a market centre around his castle, in the area that is now the Bull Ring. From then Birmingham’s economy began to take off and it became established as a small market town. The Bull Ring has also been shown to be an area of light industry at this time. Archaeological excavations carried out during the latest phase of construction in the early 2000s have revealed evidence of potters’ workshops and leatherworks during the 13th Century. This building stone walk focuses on the old centre of Birmingham, around the church of St Martin in the Bull Ring and the surrounding shopping malls. The area demonstrates continuity as a centre for trade and retail but the building materials used here have changed beyond those that would have been familiar to Peter de Bermingham and his family. The area has been transformed over the last two decades, and though the oldest part of the city of Birmingham, it is now the symbol of a new vibrant centre, with the covered markets replaced by glamorous shopping malls.

  • The Meaning of Place and State-Led Gentrification in Birmingham's Eastside
    Porter, E. and Barber, A. (2006) The meaning of place and state-led gentrification in Birmingham's Eastside. City: Analysis of Urban Trends, Culture, Theory, Policy, Action, 10 (2). pp. 215-234. ISSN 1360-4813 http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/25333/ Deposited on: 23 March 2010 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk The meaning of place and state-led gentrification in Birmingham's Eastside Abstract Despite Birmingham's claim to constitute 'England's second city', it has arguably been overlooked in much recent academic research - perhaps because of a tendency to regard Manchester as the paradigmatic English example of the emerging post- industrial city-region. Contributors to CITY have gone some way to redressing this imbalance - with Frank Webster's paper in vol 5 no 1 and Kevin Ward's paper in vol 7 no 2 underlining the wider issues raised by the adoption of 'urban entrepreneurialism' in Birmingham. This paper, by Libby Porter and Austin Barber, takes forward such concerns through a case study of the ongoing regeneration of an individual district of the city: Birmingham Eastside. Using the stories of two pubs, whose fortunes are permanently re-shaped by state-led development initiatives, the paper develops a critical reflection on academic and policy debates relating to gentrification and the restructuring of central districts of large cities. In particular, the authors highlight how current thinking about the regeneration of inner city districts marginalizes the socio- cultural meaning of place and the human networks that animate city places. They argue that this constrains planning possibilities and imaginations for the area's future.

  • Article 1 : the Relief of Sutton's Poor, Part II
    THE RELIEF OF SUTTON'S POOR, PART II: Sutton and the Aston Board of Guardians of the Poor BY MIKE HINSON In a previous article, published in the Research Group's Proceedings, Vol 4: Spring 1997, the present author described the relief of Sutton's poor under the Old Poor Law, 1601—1836. The account is continued in this article which describes the relief of Sutton's poor during the early years of the New Poor Law, enacted in 1836. Widespread Distrust The 1601 Poor Law Act (43 Elizabeth I), commonly known as the Old Poor Law, relied on the parish as a unit of government and upon unpaid non—professional administrators. This resulted in the creation of a vast but rather inefficient system of social welfare, roughly adapted to the requirements of the society of the day, and based on close relationships within the village and hamlet (1). Overall, there was an absence of any consistent model of practice. This resulted in considerable geographical variation in the interpretation and implementation of the legislation. In Warwickshire, disputes within and between parishes were frequently sorted out by the Justices of the Peace at Quarter Sessions. A Commission of Enquiry established by the government carried out its work during 1832 and 1833. Having studied local systems in operation, its main proposals and recommendations were: - That there should be national uniformity in the treatment of each class of paupers, so that every applicant of any class might receive identical treatment wherever he or she might reside. - Outdoor relief to the able—bodied and their families should be abolished.
