Introduction In 1900 Her Majesty's Stationery Office published the very useful Index to Local Acts, consisting of Classified Lists of the Local and Personal and Private Acts from ... 1801 to ... 1899 (both inclusive). The volume relates, of course, to the whole of the United Kingdom. It is felt that those interested in research into all branches of Lancashire history would benefit by the compilation of a classified list of Local and Personal Acts relating to that County alone, prior to 1801. It would be rash perhaps to state that every such Act is included here, but it is thought that completeness has been closely approached. In addition to the Acts patently which relate to Lancashire, some effort has been made to include also Acts which, although principally of a general nature, have sections in which the County is mentioned specifically. Copies of some of these Acts are extremely rare. As a possible help to students, therefore, those which are to be found in the Lancashire Record Office have been marked with an asterisk. Needless to state, additions are continually being made. CLASSIFICATION. A. Bridges. I B. Canals. I C. Drainage. 3 D. Ecclesiastical. 4 E. Education. 6 F. Enclosure. 6 G. Harbours. 9 H. Legal. 10 I. Miscellaneous. 12 J. Personal. 14 K. Roads. 25 L. Theatres. 32 M. Town Improvements. 32 N. Trade. 33 O. Water. 34 Up to 1797. Public Acts are shown in Roman numerals and private in Arabic. From 1798. Public General Acts are shown in Italic Roman, Public Local and Personal in Roman and private in Arabic. So far as the Personal Acts are concerned, the compiler has found it possible to indicate in some cases the townships which are mentioned therein. The spelling and punctuation are those of either original prints of the Acts or of Ruff head's edition of the Statutes at Large. Acts and Ordinances of the Commonwealth, or Interregnum, are given as an Appendix. These were, of course, repealed on the Restoration in 1660. A.

    Making the Most of Opportunity: the Economy of Makeshifts in the Early Modern North1

    8 Making the most of opportunity: the economy of makeshifts in the early modern north 1 Steven King The poor in England Making the most of opportunity Overview The introduction to this volume suggested that the old poor law has been subject to a positive historiographical makeover by some welfare historians. To commentators such as David Thomson and Martin Daunton, the old poor law was a flexible, increasingly humane (by design or simple loss of control) and frequently generous system which came to represent the central plank of the welfare strategies of many people by the opening decades of the nineteenth century.2 There is persuasive empirical support for this point of view, with various authors mining bland poor law account books to show that over the course of the long eighteenth century the poor law came to relieve more people (sometimes at more generous levels), to recognise relative poverty, to pay for a greater range of goods and services and to relieve people for longer, than had been the case before.3 In pioneering work linking family reconstitution evidence and poor law accounts, Richard Smith has clearly shown the development of more expensive pension strategies, the changing composition of relief lists and a widening of the services provided by the poor law from the late eighteenth century.4 Peter King has used pauper inventories from Essex to show that poor law authorities there were willing to recognise relative as well as absolute destitution, and to intervene to preserve the household possessions of those who faced sudden need.5 And Steve Hindle has analysed the vestry minutes, charity accounts and poor law book of Frampton in Lincolnshire to showSteven that, King - 9781526137869 Downloaded from manchesterhive.com at 10/02/2021 01:31:44PM via free access 228 Making the most of opportunity 229 at least for its settled poor, the community could demonstrate considerable paternalism to those in need.6 Of course, there were stark variations in local practice.

It is the duty of Local Authorities to designate such areas and to use planning powers to safeguard and enhance the special qualities of these areas within a framework of controlled and positive management of change. Designation automatically entails control over the demolition of unlisted buildings, strengthens controls over minor development and gives special protection to trees within an area.

    SANKEY NAVIGATION THE FIRST LANCASHIRE CANAL BY T. C. BARKER, M.A. Read 16 December 1948 > HEN Arthur Young visited the north of England in w 1771 he went " to Manchester with design not only to view the manufactures of that town but to make it my headquarters from thence to go the tour of his Grace the Duke of Bridgewater's navigation about which such wonders are abroad." 11 ' In the account of his tour in the north Young devoted forty- six pages, complete with maps and diagrams, to a description of these wonders: the twelve sets of " canal doors ", the underground tunnel deep into the hillside at Worsley and the aqueduct over the Irwell at Barton were all greeted with excited enthusiasm. Young's description, Smiles's appealing character sketch of James Brindley 12 ', and the reputation which the Bridge- water Canal gained by its magnificence, have together caused some historians, following Young's example, (3) to concentrate their attention upon the Worsley-to-Manchester Canal at the expense of the Sankey Navigation. Professor Mantoux, for instance, wrote that the Worsley Navigation was "the first real canal in England " (4), a belief which has received further wide publicity from Dr. Trevelyan ^ Arthur Young, A Six Months' Tour Through the North of England (London, 2nd edn., 1821), Vol. Ill, p. 187. 121 S. Smiles, Lives of the Engineers (London 1861), Vol. I, pp. 307-476. 13 'A few days before his visit to Manchester, Young had gone from Warrington to Liverpool on which journey he must have crossed the Sankey Navigation.

  • The Rise of Bolton As an Important Engineering and Textile Town in Early 1800 England

    The Rise of Bolton As an Important Engineering and Textile Town in Early 1800 England

    I. međunarodna konferencija u povodu 150. obljetnice tvornice torpeda u Rijeci i očuvanja riječke industrijske baštine 57 THE RISE OF BOLTON AS AN IMPORTANT ENGINEERING AND TEXTILE TOWN IN EARLY 1800 ENGLAND Denis O’Connor, Industrial Historian Bolton Lancashire, Great Britain INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that Great Britain changed, in the 19th Century, from a rural economy to one based on coal and iron. In doing so it created conditions for British civil, textile and mechanical engineers, such as Robert Whitehead of Bolton, to rise to positions of eminence in their particular fields. Such men travelled across Europe, and laid, through the steam engine and railways, the foundations for many of the regions present day industries. EARLY TEXTILES AND BLEACHING. RISE OF LOCAI INDUSTRIES The origins of Bolton’s textile and engineering industry lie back in the 12th Century with the appointment of a Crown Quality Controller called an Ulnager. During the reign of Henry V111 an itinerant historian Leland observed that ‘Bolton - upon - Moore Market standeth by the cotton and coarse yarns - Diverse villages above Bolton do make Cotton’ and that ‘They burne at Bolton some canelle (coal) of which the Pitts be not far off’. Coal, combined with the many powerful streams of water from the moorlands, provided the basic elements for the textile industry to grow, the damp atmosphere conducive to good spinning of thread. In 1772 a Directory of Manchester (10-12 miles distant) was published, in this can be seen the extent of cloth making in an area of about 12 miles radius round Manchester, with 77 fustian makers (Flax warp and cotton or wool weft) attending the markets, 23 of whom were resident in Bolton.
  • Physical-Force Chartism: the Cotton District and the Chartist Crisis of 1839*

    Physical-Force Chartism: the Cotton District and the Chartist Crisis of 1839*

    ROBERTSYKES PHYSICAL-FORCE CHARTISM: THE COTTON DISTRICT AND THE CHARTIST CRISIS OF 1839* There is a real need to integrate local and national approaches to the study of Chartism. The inadequacies of the pioneering studies of the national movement certainly revealed the need to return to the local roots of the movement.' However, the pattern of local studies largely established by the important volume of Chartist Studies edited by Asa Briggs has had some unfortunate consequences.2 The attempt to provide a comprehensive account of Chartism in a given locality, and cover the entire period from 1838 to 1848, has often precluded extended examination of key issues. Such matters as the relationship between Chartism and other forms of popular protest, Chartist ideology and tactics, the relationship between the Char- tists and the middle class, and the whole cultural and organisational dimen- sion of Chartism have only recently begun to receive detailed analysis.3 There has been a marked tendency for one of the most remarkable aspects of Chartism, the extent to which diverse localities were united in a national movement, to be obscured. Indeed it is evident that many historians returned to the local roots of Chartism without adequate assessments of Chartist ideology, tactics, national organisation and national leadership. Some important recent work has done much to enhance our understanding of such matters.4 A more meaningful assessment of how events in the localities interacted with the national movement is now possible. * I am grateful for the valuable comments of Dr I. J. Prothero and Mrs Dorothy Thompson on an early draft of this article.
