  • 'The Freedom of Election'
    'THE FREEDOM OF ELECTION' THE COMPANY OF CUTLERS IN HALLAMSHIRE AND THE GROWTH OF RADICALISM IN SHEFFIELD 1784-1792 JULIE MACDONALD VOLUME TWO Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, The U ni versity of Sheffield August, 2005 203 CHAPTER FIVE Sheffield in 1790 Introduction For much of the eighteenth century, Sheffield was a relatively harmonious place. Trade, generally, was booming and work was plentiful. There had been no significant riots since 1756, there was very little serious crime and its inhabitants were, in the main, tolerant of one another despite their religious differences.365 But, after six years of acrimony within the town's principal trade, the situation had changed dramatically. Divisions had begun to appear at all levels of society, divisions that, in some cases, would continue well into the twentieth century. And with these divisions had come mistrust anger and fear. Even Joseph Gales had suffered: on May 16th 1789, for example, he noted that 'the journeymen were highly enraged' with him for publishing the letter from 'A Votary of Freedom' (see previous chapter), so much so that some workshops had cancelled their order for the Register. He reassured himself, and his readers, that his publication of the reply from' A Friend to Freedom' would not only see the order reinstated but also that the journeymen would have his paper 'framed and glazed' .366 365 The riots in 1756 had been caused by food shortages and widespread anger about 'stuffing', the local name for payment in kind (see chapter one). The cutlery trades had been badly affected by the outbreak of the Seyen Years War and the subsequent loss access to the European markets.

    SITE NAME: Halton Grange (Runcorn Town Hall), Heath Road, Runcorn, WA7 5TD Address Unitary Halton Borough Council Authority: Parish: Runcorn Location: 0.5km south of Runcorn Town centre Grid Ref: SJ 518 820. Owner: Halton Borough Council Recorder: JC Date of Site Visit 20.04.2016 Date of Report: 29/04/17 Summary Halton Grange was built in the 1850s as a residential property for a local soap manufacturer. The grounds were laid out in 1853-4 by Edward Kemp. In 1932 the property and a small portion of the surrounding land were sold to Runcorn District Council who took it over as council offices. Many original features survive inside the building and elements of Kemp’s layout and features remain in the grounds. The kitchen garden has been lost to council offices. Halton Grange is now known as Runcorn Town Hall and belongs to Halton Borough Council. Principal remaining features House, listed Grade II (List Entry Number: 1104859) The long walk Sandstone retaining wall with niche Sections of wall associated with the kitchen garden and outbuildings An ornamental pond Parkland trees History (numbers in brackets refer to images, letters in brackets refer to maps) The earliest record in the deeds of Halton Grange is August 1778 when Thomas Fearnhead was granted a tenancy of land owned by the Duchy of Lancaster, by The Court of the Manor of Halton. In December 1780, the tenancy passed to Daniel Orred and then to his nephew, George Orred upon his death. The total land holding was described as 14 Cheshire acres. At the Manor Court in 1836 evidence was given of the grant to George Orred of the tenancy, of its subsequent transfer to William Johnson (victualler) for £1,900, and of a further transfer to Francis Salkeld (grocer) in 1830 for the sum of £3,720.

Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.

  • Are You Looking for Something Fun and Exciting to Do Over the Spring Half Term Holidays?
    Spring 2018 Easter 2015 Are you looking for something fun and exciting to do over the Spring half term holidays? There are lots of fun and exciting activities taking place outside of normal school hours in different places across Sheffield and beyond where children and young people can collect learning credits. These credits will be added to the ones some children collect in some schools to earn Children’s University Awards. To collect these credits, they need a Passport to Learning. These are available to purchase at Sheffield libraries and some Learning Destinations. Remember, the credits lead to a series of 30 special award certificates and badges. …and at those intervals up to 1000 hours! Do you have your Children’s University Passport to Learning yet? If the answer is yes, then that’s great news! BUT, to make sure you are awarded the credits you have earned, the Learning Destinations in Sheffield MUST put your details on a register AND send that register into us! If they don’t, we won’t know where you have visited and can’t award your credits. It might be that their staff are really busy and they’ve forgotten, or they might be new to the organisation and have simply forgotten that we need the register. So, every time you visit a SHEFFIELD Learning Destination, remind them to keep a register AND send it into us! Remember, if there’s no register, it means no credits! They can always contact us for help and we can visit them to explain the process if we need to.

  • Sheffield Castle
    Preface Biography of a Castle Passing on to Waingate we stand on classic ground, but it is a little foreign to the tenor of our usual conversations to go so far back as to try to conjure up an imaginary picture of what the old Castle used to be. The materials for such a picture are very scanty, and all that remains to us above ground is the name (Leader 1875, 218) The uncovering of the castle remains and part of the River Sheaf will create a new focus for Castlegate which provides a direct link with the historic roots of Sheffield (Sheffield City Council Castlegate Masterplan, EDAW 2005, 9) The northern English city of Sheffield is not well known for its medieval heritage. Rather, the ‘Steel City’ gained global fame in the 18th and 19th centuries for the products of its metalworking forges, and for innovations in manufacturing processes, including those involved in the production of crucible and stainless steel (Hey 1991; 2005; 2010, 86–94). In the early 18th century, the novelist Daniel Defoe commented on the features which were to make Sheffield famous across the world, describing it as ‘very populous and large, the streets narrow and the houses dark and black, occasioned by the continued smoke from the forges, which are always at work’ (Defoe 1724–27, III, letter 8, part 3), while towards the end of the 19th century John Daniel Leader (1872, 371), a Sheffield newspaper proprietor and antiquarian, lamented that the city had almost lost ‘its connection with the romance of history and is known to fame only for its hardware and smoke’.

  • The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town Cl740-Cl820
    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume One THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SHEFFIELD AND THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN cl740-c 1820 Neville Flavell February 1996 SUMMARY In the early eighteenth century Sheffield was a modest industrial town with an established reputation for cutlery and hardware. It was, however, far inland, off the main highway network and twenty miles from the nearest navigation. One might say that with those disadvantages its future looked distinctly unpromising. A century later, Sheffield was a maker of plated goods and silverware of international repute, was en route to world supremacy in steel, and had already become the world's greatest producer of cutlery and edge tools. How did it happen? Internal economies of scale vastly outweighed deficiencies. Skills, innovations and discoveries, entrepreneurs, investment, key local resources (water power, coal, wood and iron), and a rapidly growing labour force swelled largely by immigrants from the region were paramount. Each of these, together with external credit, improved transport and ever-widening markets, played a significant part in the town's metamorphosis. Economic and population growth were accompanied by a series of urban developments which first pushed outward the existing boundaries. Considerable infill of gardens and orchards followed, with further peripheral expansion overspilling into adjacent townships. New industrial, commercial and civic building, most of it within the central area, reinforced this second phase. A period of retrenchment coincided with the French and Napoleonic wars, before a renewed surge of construction restored the impetus.
