  • Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre Neighbourhood
    Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre Neighbourhood Health & Social Care Profile Miles Platting, Newton Heath, Moston & City Centre - Health & Social Care Cohort Profile December 2019 Page 1 Introduction to MHCC Neighbourhood & Cohort Profile Reports The Locality Plan developed by Health & Social Care commissioners in Manchester sets an ambition that those sections of the population most at risk of needing care will have access to more proactive care, available in their local communities. The key transformation is the establishment of 12 Integrated Neighbourhood Teams across the City based on geographical area as opposed to organisation. The teams focus on the place and people that they serve, centred around the ethos that ‘The best bed is your own bed’ wherever possible and care should be closer to home rather than delivered within a hospital or care home. The ambition of this model is to place primary care (GP) services at the heart of an integrated neighbourhood model of care in which they are co-located with community teams. These teams could include Community Pharmacists, Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), Community Nursing, Social Care Officers, Intermediate Care teams, Leisure and health promotion teams, Ambulance teams and 3rd sector teams, with a link to educational and employment teams. All services are based upon a 12/3/1 model of provision, where most services should be delivered at the neighbourhood* level (12) unless they require economies of scale at a specialist local level (3), or a single City-wide level

This made identifying the appropriate families challenging. Fortunately, the most recent generations of Butterworths were given compound names which made the search easier. Hannah Jane Butterworth (pictured to left, 3rd row, 3rd person in)1 was the only child of Daniel Richard Butterworth and Rachel Fletcher Chadderton and was born 20 November 1881 at 2 Stockwell St, Oldham2. On August 29, 1908 she married John Frederick Fountain (see FOUNTAIN for more info on Hannah Jane) according to the rights and ceremonies of the Church of England3. Daniel Richard and Rachel were married in September 1880 in Oldham4. Between 1880 and his death by acute rheumatism in 18855, Daniel appears to have worked as a grocer's assistant6.

  • Astley Arms/Paganini Tavern, 78 Great Ancoats Street 36-40 Dean
    An Archaeological Excavation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd in April 2016 at Nos 74-88 Great Ancoats Street. The work was completed in advance of the redevelopment of the site, under the auspices of the Greater Manchester Archaeological Advisory Service. The excavation trench was located in the southern part of the site on the corner of Dean Street and Houldsworth Street, where a series of late 18th- and early 19th- century brick cellars and a paved courtyard were revealed. Until the 1770s Ancoats was a rural area to the east of Manchester, but during the last quarter of the 18th century it became the town’s first industrial suburb with the construction of cotton factories, weavers and other workers cottages. The population of Manchester grew dramatically from 76,000 in 1801 to 316,000 in 1851 with more people being crammed into Late 19th and early 20th-century glass bottles embossed with the names of Greater smaller and smaller houses. A significant proportion of these people were Irish who made Manchester mineral water manufacturers and a Blackburn brewery up a tenth of the city’s population by 1841, concentrated in the slum area of Ancoats and (left to right) J.

  • The Manchester Observer: Biography of a Radical Newspaper
    i i i i The Manchester Observer: Biography of a Radical Newspaper ROBERT POOLE, UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL LANCASHIRE Abstract The newly digitised Manchester Observer (1818–22) was England’s leading rad- ical newspaper at the time of the Peterloo meeting of August 1819, in which it played a central role. For a time it enjoyed the highest circulation of any provincial newspaper, holding a position comparable to that of the Chartist Northern Star twenty years later and pioneering dual publication in Manchester and London. Its columns provide insights into Manchester’s notoriously secretive local government and policing and into the labour and radical movements of its turbulent times. Rich materials in the Home Oce papers in the National Archives reveal much about the relationship between radicals in London and in the provinces, and show how local magistrates conspired with government to hound the radical press in the north as prosecutions in London ran into trouble. This article also sheds new light on the founding of the Manchester Guardian, which endured as the Observer’s successor more by avoiding its disasters than by following its example. Despite the imprisonment of four of its main editors and proprietors the Manchester Observer battled on for ve years before sinking in calmer water for lack of news. Keywords: Peterloo; press; newspapers; radicalism; Manchester; Guardian London has been called the strong hold of the liberty of the press; but Manchester is assuredly the centre and strong hold of the Parliamentary Reformers. (Manchester Observer, 1 September 1821) Early in 2017 the John Rylands Library accepted into its collections two bound volumes: the only complete set of the Manchester Observer (1818–22), the radical predecessor of the more famous Manchester Guardian.
