  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    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.

    159 \ SOME HISTORY OF THE COASTWISE LIGHTS OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE PART II By E. Cuthbert Woods, L.D.S.R.C.S.(Eng.), F.R.Hist.S. \ Read 27 October, 1945. "DEFORE we leave the Mersey estuary, a word or two about -^-* the lightships may not be out of place. The earliest reference that I have found to a lightship per se, is the resolution passed by the Liverpool Council in 1759, to fix a vessel with two lights at the N.E. spit of the Hoyle Bank, " which will tend greatly to the preservation of lives and property, and hope it may induce our captains and masters to inform themselves how to bring a vessel into the Hoyle Lake, without, as was formerly the case, trusting to the chance of meeting a pilot." Twenty years earlier (1738), there is a resolution of the Cor­ poration " that an addition be made to the present dock, or basin, for light ships to lie in, whilst refitting . ." but this I take to mean ships which had discharged their cargo, and were " light." By 1811, the Mersey was beginning to be used by ships, in preference to the Hoyle Lake, and the mariners bringing ships into the port after dark had to rely on five lighthouses, viz. Pt. Lynas, Upper and Lower Hoylake, Leasowe, and Bidston. Some of the leading shipowners of Liverpool petitioned the Dock Committee to replace the North West Buoy by a lightship, as there were as yet no lighted buoys. The Dock Committee, having an act (53 George III) which empowered them to place a lightship on the N.W.

It received its first charter in 1179 from King Henry II. Situated on the main north – south road where it crossed the Ribble, The town’s strategic importance gained prominence especially during the Civil Wars. By the first half of the 19th century Preston was a growing “cotton town”(with over 70 mills in 1860) and also an increasingly important port on the Ribble.It had, during two decades, become an equally important rail centre with lines diverging from it to Lancaster and Scotland; to Crewe and Fleetwood, Manchester, Liverpool and Blackburn.
