  • EDUCATION of POOR GIRLS in NORTH WEST ENGLAND C1780 to 1860: a STUDY of WARRINGTON and CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland
    EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND c1780 to 1860: A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire September 2005 EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND cll8Oto 1860 A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER ABSTRACT This study is an attempt to discover what provision there was in North West England in the early nineteenth century for the education of poor girls, using a comparative study of two towns, Warrington and Chester. The existing literature reviewed is quite extensive on the education of the poor generally but there is little that refers specifically to girls. Some of it was useful as background and provided a national framework. In order to describe the context for the study a brief account of early provision for the poor is included. A number of the schools existing in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries continued into the nineteenth and occasionally even into the twentieth centuries and their records became the source material for this study. The eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century were marked by fluctuating fortunes in education, and there was a flurry of activity to revive the schools in both towns in the early nineteenth century. The local archives in the Chester/Cheshire Record Office contain minute books, account books and visitors' books for the Chester Blue Girls' school, Sunday and Working schools, the latter consolidated into one girls' school in 1816, all covering much of the nineteenth century.

  • Warrington Guardian 12.7.68)
    WHAT’S IN A NAME? (Warrington Guardian 12.7.68) 23, WOOLSTON WOOLSTON – WITH – MARTINSCROFT is a joint township on the high road from Warrington to Manchester: this high road is one of the oldest in Lancashire. Only four roads were shown in Lancashire in 1675 in Ogilby’s ‘’Britannia’’ and the Warrington to Manchester road was one of the four. This became a turnpike road in the 18th century when slag from the Warrington Copper Works was used in it’s construction. Unfortunately the course of this road appears to have been little changed since then in spite of heavy traffic, considerably increased in recent years by placing on it an access point to the M6 at the Woolston end of the Thelwall Viaduct. Clearly it would have been in the best interest of all concerned if this old road had been straightened and widened at Woolston before the recent rapid urban development there had been permitted to take place. For centuries after the Norman Conquest, Woolston was a tiny backwater, remote even from neighbouring Warrington to which it was connected by an early and primitive road. Communication also existed between Woolston and Thelwall by means of a ferry across the River Mersey until suddenly in the 18th century, Woolston found itself connected to Warrington and Manchester not only by a turnpike road, but also by a short canal constructed as part of an early river navigation scheme designed to eliminate the long bends in the river in its course from Warrington eastwards. New Cut The first Woolston Cut was made about 1720 and less than a century later this was replaced by the Woolston New Cut.

Conference paper title : The place and status of knowledge in Work Based Learning Abstract : This paper seeks to examine some of the epistemological issues which relate to the debate concerning the justification of Work Based Learning in the HE curriculum. It will take account of post-modern perspectives on the theory of knowledge and of the so-called knowledge revolution and the impact these have had on the University. The perceived divide between academic and vocational knowledge, universal and local knowledge, and Mode 1 and Mode 2 knowledge will be discussed, and it will be argued that such ways of thinking are inappropriate and a hindrance in any attempt to arrive at a satisfactory way of understanding the place and status of knowledge in Work Based Learning.

The Mersey Estuary CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for have a 1% chance of flooding in any one year from rivers England and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have (i.e. a 1% annual probability). We estimate that by 2100 assessed inland flood risk across all of England and approximately 25,000 properties will be at risk of river Wales for the first time. The CFMP considers all types of flooding. This is a 30% increase compared to the current inland flooding, from rivers, groundwater, surface water number at risk across the catchment.

  • A History of the University of Manchester Since 1951
    Pullan2004jkt 10/2/03 2:43 PM Page 1 University ofManchester A history ofthe HIS IS THE SECOND VOLUME of a history of the University of Manchester since 1951. It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well. It also examines the controversies of the 1970s and 1980s over such issues as feminism, free speech, ethical investment, academic freedom and the quest for efficient management. The author draws on official records, staff and student newspapers, and personal interviews with people who experienced the University in very 1973–90 different ways. With its wide range of academic interests and large student population, the University of Manchester was the biggest unitary university in the country, and its history illustrates the problems faced by almost all British universities. The book will appeal to past and present staff of the University and its alumni, and to anyone interested in the debates surrounding higher with MicheleAbendstern Brian Pullan education in the late twentieth century. A history of the University of Manchester 1951–73 by Brian Pullan with Michele Abendstern is also available from Manchester University Press.
