The Action Plan has been produced following extensive consultation with all sections of the local community and is here to inform residents about the priorities and actions which the Council will pursue in the future. Nonetheless, it will not be a permanent and immutable document as the intention is to consult and review it at regular intervals, so that it continues to refl ect the needs and aspirations of local people. We thank all the people who took part in the various stages of producing this Plan.

They were introduced as an important part of see their suggestions written down.” the Countryside Agency’s “Vital Villages” initiative and their purpose is to “I must admit that this project has opened my eyes to help local communities: how things are done and would like to be more involved “..indicate how they would like their town or village to develop, in the future.” identify key facilities and services, set out problems that need to be “Feel part of decisions, whatever may happen in the tackled and demonstrate how distinctive character and features can long run”. be preserved.” (people attending consultation events) The Parish Council decided to take up this challenge and was awarded a grant of £4275 from the Countryside Agency in October 2003 to produce the Sharlston Parish Plan. Why produce a Parish Plan? The Plan can cover a whole range of social, environmental or economic issues which the local community decides are important. ● It is a powerful way of fi nding out what local people want and need ● It will provide evidence to support policy-making by local councils and others ● It will help the Parish Council to get results from the District Council and other agencies responsible for delivering services. ● It can be included within the local development framework and local action plans drawn up by the planning authority, thus infl uencing future development. ● Elsewhere, people have said that it improves community spirit and leads to things being done which otherwise would not have happened. 0433 To reach all the sectors of our community and to ensure that everyone who wanted to was able to have a say, a range of actions and activities took place: ● Information through the Parish Council newsletters ● A poster design competition for young children ● Consultations at Parish Council open days ● Participation at church fairs To manage the production of our Plan, the Parish Council set up a steering ● Recruitment of volunteers committee, which includes councillors, local residents and representatives ● Involvement of schoolchildren in creating a village model from Wakefi eld District Council Community Engagement Team. Yorkshire ● Planning Aid were contracted to provide expert advice and assistance, A “hands-on” planning weekend particularly in the organisation and running of the community consultation ● A “prioritisation and community action” weekend events, which form a vital part of the plan process. ● Secondary school pupil consultation group. Throughout the process of producing this Plan, the committee has been The full report on community careful to follow the advice given by The Countryside Agency, the Yorkshire consultation is contained in Appendix 1. Rural Community Council, Yorkshire Planning Aid and Wakefi eld Council staff about the scope and content of the Plan. Over 200 people of all ages attended the Parish Council open days, 156 The key points are: people attended the hands-on planning ● To involve all sectors of the community events and almost 100 young people were involved variously in poster design, ● To cover all the issues of concern model production and consultations. ● To produce a clear action plan From 1 April 2005, the role of the Countryside Agency changed and the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) placed the administration of Parish Plans with Rural Community Councils. Yorkshire Rural Community Council is now responsible for overseeing work on the Sharlston Parish Plan. sharlston parish plan 3305 sharlston parish plan A Brief History of the Parish Background A popular place to begin researching the history of an area as old as Sharlston Parish is the Doomsday Book. Unfortunately this could not be used because until as recently as 1929, Sharlston was part of the parish of Warmfi eld and not mentioned separately in the Book. However, the compilers of Sharlston Parish Plan have had a variety of other sources to draw on, both primary and secondary. The Extent of the Parish The parish of Sharlston is essentially three villages: ● Old Sharlston, the settlement around The Green in which are found Sharlston Hall (with a unique stone over wood two-storey entrance completed circa 1574, with foundations dating back to the 13th century), Tudor cottages, The Forge, The Granary and several farms and associated farm buildings; ● New Sharlston to the NW of the parish where colliery workers’ dwellings were built in the 1850s; ● Sharlston Common, situated between the other two areas, bordering Weeland Road where most properties are post-1945. The parish also includes part of Foulby on Doncaster Road as far as Lidget Lane. Now known collectively as Sharlston, it is in an area steeped in history and surrounded by historic sites. To the south-east is Nostell Priory; to the north- west, Heath Hall and due east, Huntwick Grange. The oldest part of Sharlston Parish is High Street in New Sharlston. Archaeological evidence shows this as being part of a 3rd century Roman road. 0633 The Middle Ages. In the early 1970s bores were sunk with a view to opencasting, The earliest recorded evidence of Sharlston’s existence is in the14th. century. every bore showed coal.

O.S. Maps still show honeycomb of soil, sand and clay with a cobweb of coal in-between. fi elds within the parish labelled ‘pit fi elds’. Sharlston, Snydale and Warmfi eld The miners of the14th and 15th centuries had obviously been as hard are mentioned on the Coroners’ Rolls of 1342, when a Margaret de Foulby working and industrious as the parishioners of today!

I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

  • Industrial Archaeology
    RESEARCH AGENDA INDUSTRIAL ARCHAEOLOGY by Helen Gomersall This document is one of a series designed to enable our stakeholders and all those affected by our advice and recommendations to understand the basis on which we have taken a particular view in specific cases. It is also a means by which others can check that our recommendations are justifiable in terms of the current understanding of West Yorkshire s Historic Environment, and are being consistently applied. As the document is based upon current information, it is anticipated that future discoveries and reassessments will lead to modifications. If any readers wish to comment on the content, the Advisory Service will be glad to take their views into account when developing further versions.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 This paper is intended to give a brief overview of the current state of the publicly-accessible resource available for the study of Industrial Archaeology within West Yorkshire (that portion of the old West Riding which formed a Metropolitan County Council between 1972 and 1986), and to frame suggestions for further lines of directed research in the area. Within this context, the definition of Industrial Archaeology is based on the current practice of the West Yorkshire Archaeology Service Advisory Service. Industrial Archaeology is therefore defined as the study of the physical remains of all aspects of anthropogenic activity for the period 1700-1950, with an emphasis on the development and use of technology and manufacture.
