  • Austerity in a Disadvantaged West Midlands Neighbourhood
    Austerity in a disadvantaged West Midlands neighbourhood: Everyday experiences of families and family support professionals Demelza Jones, University of Gloucestershire (corresponding author – [email protected]) Pam Lowe, Aston University Karen West, University of Bristol Abstract This article examines everyday effects of austerity in Kingshurst – a disadvantaged urban neighbourhood in the West Midlands. It draws on qualitative data gathered from local families with children, and public and third sector professionals working in the area in family support services. While some of the issues raised are common to other disadvantaged communities across the UK, we recognise that austerity is experienced in specific socio-spatial context: in this case, Kingshurst’s circumstance of deprivation within a local authority borough that (as a whole) is above averagely affluent. This shaped the ways that residents and professionals framed the disadvantage they encountered in their everyday lives and work, in particular strengthening understandings of austerity as unfairly and unevenly experienced on the bases of geography and social class, and highlighting territorial stigma towards the neighbourhood by professionals and decision-makers which impeded residents’ engagement with the family support services available to them locally. Key words: Austerity; disadvantage; families; stigma; neighbourhood Introduction Austerity refers to the programmes of fiscal tightening adopted by most Western governments after the global financial crisis of 2007-8. In the UK context, while the New Labour government adopted limited austerity measures in the immediate aftermath of the crisis, it was following the 2010 general election and the formation of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition that austerity emerged as a central policy project - extended and deepened under subsequent Conservative governments since 2015.

  • Kingshurst Hall
    HISTORY OF KINGSHURST © Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council Kingshurst means 'king's wood'. It became part of the Solihull Metropolitan Borough in 1974, having been previously part of Meriden Rural District. The earliest references to Kingshurst appear in the 13th and 14th centuries and suggest that Kingshurst is part of the parish of Coleshill. It wasn't until 1st April 1956 that Kingshurst became a parish in its own right. By about 1352, Kingshurst was owned by Peter de Montfort who died in 1370 without leaving a legitimate heir, although his illegitimate son, Richard, inherited Kingshurst manor whilst Richard's older brother, John, inherited the manor of Coleshill. The two manors were reunited in the early 15th century, under the control of William Mountford. In 1495, the Mountford lands were confiscated following the support of Sir Simon Mountford for Perkin Warbeck's failed claim on the English throne. Simon Mountford was executed and both Kingshurst and Coleshill were granted to the Digby family by King Henry VII. In 1529, the king restored the manor of Kingshurst to the Mountford family but it was sold back to the Digby family by Edward Mountford in about 1617. The Digby's administered Kingshurst from their main estate in Ireland and tenants included the Bull family (1610-1743), the Yorks (1743 until at least 1812), and, the Townshends (1876-1960). Kingshurst Hall Kingshurst Hall was a large, red brick building built between the late 13th and 14th centuries. It had its own park and farmland and its tenants included the York family, who gave their name to the small area of the original Kingshurst Hall Park that still remains: Yorkswood.
