This policy shift comes after several years of debate about the rationale for and nature of sub-national governance and the role and remit of organisations such as Regional Development Agencies, local authorities and various quasi-autonomous government agencies along with the City Regions which may well become the new LEPs. In the current challenging economic circumstances, rationalisation of the infrastructure, efficiency savings and value for money are currently driving policy developments. However whilst the policy context may change the challenges for social and economic development of the region remain – how do we improve our localities, encourage visitors and regenerate our local communities? How do we encourage the retention of our graduates, develop the leadership skills necessary for success, ensure that those most at risk of economic disadvantage benefit from the economic recovery and ensure that the connections between physical and human capital developments are realised? Substantial changes to governance in the region are forecast as we continue to get to grips with the ‘bigger picture’ associated with globalisation, demographics, the environment and issues of equity (amongst many other challenges). These questions and challenges have been the subject of much commentary and literature, and researchers at Leeds Metropolitan University have made notable contributions to the debate. This collection of essays provides an opportunity for these researchers to bring together their contributions in what I believe is an impressive piece of work. The essays are structured into three themes: tourism and the visitor economy; skills, employment and economic development; and governance and inclusion. They cover a range of issues that are central to the sustainable development of the Yorkshire and Humber region and have much to say that is relevant to the debate about the appropriate level of governance for different policy areas as well as providing important research insights into these issues. They illustrate very well the wide-ranging nature and high quality of the research being undertaken at Leeds Metropolitan University. Thanks are due to all the authors for contributing such an excellent range of essays and particularly to the editors, David Devins, Phil Long and Stratis Koutsoukos, for all their work in putting together an impressive showcase for research at Leeds Metropolitan University that has real relevance for the development of policy and practice in our region.

  • Introduction to Roman Yorkshire

    Introduction to Roman Yorkshire

    ROMAN YORKSHIRE: PEOPLE, CULTURE, LANDSCAPE By Patrick Ottaway. Published 2013 by The Blackthorn Press Chapter 1 Introduction to Roman Yorkshire ‘In the abundance and variety of its Roman antiquities, Yorkshire stands second to no other county’ Frank and Harriet Wragg Elgee (1933) The Yorkshire region A Roman army first entered what we now know as Yorkshire in about the year AD 48, according to the Roman author Cornelius Tacitus ( Annals XII, 32). This was some five years after the invasion of Britain itself ordered by the Emperor Claudius. The soldiers’ first task in the region was to assist in the suppression of a rebellion against a Roman ally, Queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes, a native people who occupied most of northern England. The Roman army returned to the north in about the years 51-2, once again to support Cartimandua who was, Tacitus tells us, now under attack by her former consort, a man named Venutius ( Annals XII, 40). In 69 a further dispute between Cartimandua and Venutius, for which Tacitus is again the (only) source, may have provided a pretext for the Roman army to begin the conquest of the whole of northern Britain ( Histories III, 45). England south of Hadrian’s Wall, including Yorkshire, was to remain part of the Roman Empire for about 340 years. The region which is the principal subject of this book is Yorkshire as it was defined before local government reorganisation in 1974. There was no political entity corresponding to the county in Roman times. It was, according to the second century Greek geographer Ptolemy, split between the Brigantes and the Parisi, a people who lived in what is now (after a brief period as Humberside) the East Riding.

  • The Industrial Archaeology of West Yorkshire

    The Industrial Archaeology of West Yorkshire

    The Industrial Archaeology of West Yorkshire Introduction: The impact of the Industrial Revolution came comparatively late to the West Yorkshire region. The seminal breakthroughs in technology that were made in a variety of industries (e.g. coal mining, textile, pottery, brick, and steam engine manufacture) during the 17th and 18th centuries, and the major production centres that initially grew up on the back of these innovations, were largely located elsewhere in the country. What distinguishes Yorkshire is the rate and density at which industry developed in the region from the end of the 18th century. This has been attributed to a wide variety of factors, including good natural resources and the character of the inhabitants! The portion of the West Riding north and west of Wakefield had become one of most heavily industrialised areas in the Britain by the end of the 19th century. It was also one of the most varied - there were some regional specialities, but at one time or another Yorkshire manufacturers supplied everything from artificial manure to motorcars. A list of local products for the 1890s would run into hundreds of items. Textile Manufacturing: The most prominent industry in the region has always been textile manufacture. There was a long tradition in the upland areas of the county of cloth production as a home-based industry, which supplemented farming. The scale of domestic production could hardly be considered negligible - the industry in Calderdale was after all so large that in 1779 it produced the Piece Hall in Halifax as an exchange centre and market. However, the beginnings of the factory system, and the birth of modern textile mills, dates to the introduction of mass-production techniques for carding and spinning cotton.
