  • Policing-Policy-During-Strike-Report
    ' The Police Committee Special Sub-Committee at their meeting on 24 January 19.85 approved this report and recommended that it should be presented to the Police Committee for their approval. In doing so, they wish to place on record their appreciation and gratitude to all the members of the County Council's Department of Administration who have assisted and advised the Sub-Committee in their inquiry or who have been involved in the preparation of this report, in particular Anne Conaty (Assistant Solicitor), Len Cooksey (Committee Administrator), Elizabeth Griffiths (Secretary to the Deputy County Clerk) and David Hainsworth (Deputy County Clerk). (Councillor Dawson reserved his position on the report and the Sub-Committee agreed to consider a minority report from him). ----------------------- ~~- -1- • Frontispiece "There were many lessons to be learned from the steel strike and from the Police point of view the most valuable lesson was that to be derived from maintaining traditional Police methods of being firm but fair and resorting to minimum force by way of bodily contact and avoiding the use of weapons. My feelings on Police strategy in industrial disputes and also those of one of my predecessors, Sir Philip Knights, are encapsulated in our replies to questions asked of us when we appeared before the House of Commons Select Committee on Employment on Wednesday 27 February 1980. I said 'I would hope that despite all the problems that we have you will still allow us to have our discretion and you will not move towards the Army, CRS-type policing, or anything like that.

This housing often takes the form of conjoined row housing, often (when dating to the late 19 th or early 20 th 1 South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Rotherham Character Zone Descriptions century) similar in form to the housing in the ‘Grid Iron Terraced Housing’ zone, although older examples tend to be of more vernacular character. In contrast to the ‘grid iron’ settlement areas, housing neighbourhoods in this zone are generally fairly irregular in overall plan form. Key trends in the positioning of these industrial settlements include close proximity to railways and canals, ribbon developments along existing roads and sites that exploit land made available for construction by the parliamentary enclosure of former common land.

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.

    South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Part III: Rotherham Character Zone Descriptions Rotherham Character Zone Descriptions 399 South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Part III: Rotherham Character Zone Descriptions 400 South Yorkshire Historic Environment Characterisation Project Part III: Rotherham Character Zone Descriptions Assarted Enclosure Summary of Dominant Character This zone, limited to the north-western-most corner of the borough, is made up of ancient woodlands and ancient irregular enclosure patterns whose key characteristics are small, sinuous or rounded fields with mainly hedged boundaries. Very little of the land was formerly part of a medieval open field system (see ‘Strip Enclosure and ‘Agglomerated Enclosure’ zones) with the majority of records of enclosed land in this area being recorded by the project as originating from the irregular piecemeal enclosure of land. This pattern of land enclosure is characterised by field boundaries exhibiting no overall level of planned organisation. Such irregular patterns of enclosure originate when an area of land is subdivided over many years by many separate actions of enclosure. Common medieval processes that are known to have resulted in irregular piecemeal enclosure patterns include the clearance or assartment of heavily wooded landscapes, moorlands and wetlands (Taylor 1975, 94-105), and the gradual subdivision of former deer parks, for sale or lease. The zone is situated across a section of the Middle Coal Measures whose alternating bands of shales, sandstone and coal seams have weathered to produce a rolling hilly landscape with steeper scarps on western hillsides. Areas of woodland have often survived on these steeper slopes. Character areas within this zone typically occupy a parish edge location, indicating that their original clearance may have been the result of a separate process than that which established the open field systems closer to the nucleated settlements at the parish centre.

The SMR records one monument within the site relating to a series of possible Iron Age or Romano-British field boundaries. Within the study area the SMR records one monument relating to field systems and associated enclosures with some anomalies identified as potential kiln sites from geophysical survey. The SMR records further potential Iron Age and Romano- British remains within 500m of the site including an irregular shaped enclosure of possible Iron Age or Roman date, a prehistoric or Romano-British field system, an Iron Age or Romano-British enclosure and field system and lime kiln of probable Romano-British date all located to the east, west and south of the site. The SMR records four archaeological investigations within the study area. A geophysical survey followed by targeted trial-trenching at Sandy Lane revealed seven late medieval lime kilns dated by archaeomagnetism to the late 15th-16th century and a possible contemporary field system. Geophysical survey undertaken south of Morrisons revealed one large ditch and tentative medieval boundary ditches, while further geophysical survey undertaken at Bawtry Road indicating the presence of a number of linear archaeological features.
