  • Haessly, Katie (2010) British Conservative Women Mps
    British Conservative Women MPs and ‘Women’s Issues’ 1950-1979 Katie Haessly, BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2010 1 Abstract In the period 1950-1979, there were significant changes in legislation relating to women’s issues, specifically employment, marital and guardianship and abortion rights. This thesis explores the impact of Conservative female MPs on these changes as well as the changing roles of women within the party. In addition there is a discussion of the relationships between Conservative women and their colleagues which provides insights into the changes in gender roles which were occurring at this time. Following the introduction the next four chapters focus on the women themselves and the changes in the above mentioned women’s issues during the mid-twentieth century and the impact Conservative women MPs had on them. The changing Conservative attitudes are considered in the context of the wider changes in women’s roles in society in the period. Chapter six explores the relationship between women and men of the Conservative Parliamentary Party, as well as men’s impact on the selected women’s issues. These relationships were crucial to enhancing women’s roles within the party, as it is widely recognised that women would not have been able to attain high positions or affect the issues as they did without help from male colleagues. Finally, the female Labour MPs in the alteration of women’s issues is discussed in Chapter seven. Labour women’s relationships both with their party and with Conservative women are also examined.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Introducing Our Paternal Great Grandmother – Eliza Flack's Family
    Introducing our Paternal Great Grandmother – Eliza Flack’s Family Eliza Alice Flack (nee Parker) 1853-1900 By Ted (Edmund) Flack PhD., JP Picture of Market Street Burnley circa 1900 with acknowledgement to Lancashire Telegraph Copyright 2019 Edmund Flack The Parker – Flack Connection Our Paternal Great Grandmother, Eliza Alice Flack, nee Parker (1853-1900) It seems likely that we have heard so little about Eliza Flack, nee Parker, our great grandmother, wife of William Henry Douglas Flack, is because she died in 1900 at just 47 years of age,. Yet from the information available, she was no doubt a remarkable woman. The following family tree explains the Flack family relationship with the Parkers. 1 Eliza Alice Parker was born on 1 October 1853 in Burnley, Lancashire, the first-born child of Richard and Eliza Hartley. Our Great Great Grandmother, Eliza Flack, nee Parker lived at No.10 Hargreaves Street, Burnley in 1860 with her family. Her father was Richard Parker, listed in the 1860 Census as a Wholesale Grocer employing 7 people. The photograph shows the corner of Hargreaves Street Burnley where the Parker Grocery was located before being converted into solicitors’ offices in the 1920s. 2 1861 Census Richard Parker, Head of the Family, aged 27, Wholesale Green Grocer employing 4 men, born Yorkshire, Long Preston. Eliza Parker, Wife, aged 34, born Lancashire Burnley. Eliza Alice Parker, aged 7, born Lancashire, Accrington. Richard Hartley Parker, Son, aged 7 months, Lancashire, Burnley. Thomas Houghton, Boarder, aged 24, Assistant, Lancashire, Blackburn. Martha Ealey, Servant, Aged 25, General servant, Lancashire, Foulridge.

  • Kenneth Cameron
    KENNETH CAMERON Copyright © The British Academy 2002 – all rights reserved Kenneth Cameron 1922–2001 TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW HIM KEN CAMERON seemed quintessentially Lancashire, but the Scottish ancestry on his father’s side, which is evi- denced in the surname, was not very far distant, and the Scottish connec- tion is seen also in his Christian name and in those of his son, Iain Stewart. His great grandfather, Angus Cameron, was a Gaelic speaker from the Fort William area. He was a builder of dry stone walls, and he came south, ini- tially to Liverpool, to find work. His wife followed him with the children, and the next two generations of male Camerons became textile operatives in Lancashire. Ken’s grandfather, Donald Cameron, also had an intriguing sideline. He was an entertainer in the Harry Lauder style, and was very successful at this: a prized family possession is a watch-chain hung with medals for his performances in northern towns. His wife would not countenance his making a full-time career of this, as she disapproved of the life-style which she thought might have resulted. Ken’s boyhood was closely linked to his maternal grandparents who ran a provisions shop in Padiham, near Burnley. When this grandfather died Ken’s parents went to live there. Ken’s mother, who had had to give up her career as a primary-school teacher when she married, eventually ran the shop. This corner shop in Byron Street is still vividly remembered in Padiham and Burnley. Ken helped in the running of it, and contempor- aries remember him flying round on his bike making deliveries after school.

  • How People Were Punished in Days Gone By
    How people were punished in days gone by In “Peek into the Past” we have examined images of Burnley town centre, the districts and villages around Burnley and a number of its parks. Thinking about what direction I should go in future articles, I found myself, earlier today, in the company of Brierfield Probus where I gave their knowledgeable members a talk entitled “Lancashire’s Calderdale”. As you will know, the Lancashire Calder is the subject of my most recent book, but, when talking to members of Probus, it occurred to me that “Peek” need not only be about buildings, districts and parks. There are an almost limitless number of features of a smaller nature each of which has a story to tell. This thought came to me when my projector was showing an image of the village stocks at Holme in Cliviger. They were there for a purpose. In fact, at one time, every parish or township had to have its stocks, or equivalent. Burnley not only had its stocks but the medieval village also had a whipping post and a ducking stool as well.

They constitute some of the means by which miscreants were punished and humiliated, the latter no longer a feature of the system itself. Whether the systems described today were successful or not is not the point. There may be another opportunity to assess that. Similarly, I am not going to say all that much about the individual crimes and misdemeanours for which the stocks, whipping post and ducking stool were thought to be correctives.
