  • - Names in the landscape of Finsthwaite, Lakeside, Stott Park & Ealinghearth
    af Sophia Martin
    243,95 kr.

    Feather Bed and Shive of Cheese records hundreds of names of fields and woods in a group of villages at the south-west foot of Lake Windermere. The authors have used archives and local tradition to build up a fascinating picture which echoes both ancient and modern farming and woodland working practices.Hatter Parrock, Justice Scar, The Prison Field, Bell Intake, Sourbutts, Washhouse Hill and the Cuckoo Bridge are just some of the names of fields, woods, and minor landscape features documented by the authors. As volunteers on Mapped Histories - a local history initiative within the community-led programme Rusland Horizons in South Cumbria - they became fascinated by what was revealed behind the names and how this wealth of detail illuminated the past and present.Sophia, Pat and Liz built on their original survey to write this book, explaining the archive work and interpretation of names. Short histories of the villages of Finsthwaite, Lakeside, Stott Park and Ealinghearth are included, with photographs and 50 maps pinpointing every field and wood.

    The 1880s were a decade of change for Barrow works with some of the main players departing the scene. The arrival of the basic method of steelmaking, developed by 'amateur' metallurgist Sidney Gilchrist Thomas, took away the lucrative position held by the directors and shareholders who had drained the coffers leaving virtually nothing for re-investment. After the Great War the once monster-iron-mining-smelting company was limping along. Following a reconstruction initiative during the 1920s it started an asset disposal programme in the early 1930s selling-off the collieries and by-products plant at Worsboro' near Barnsley. As the decade faded closure loomed. And then a sudden and dramatic turning point! The evacuation of Dunkirk at the start of World War Two together with the blocking of special steels from Scandinavia produced a demand for the kind of steel the making of which Barrow was a past master. Coming under the management of the United Steels combine Barrow works entered a Renaissance period and a phase of secure employment ensued - even an apprentice intake followed. Under United Steel's banner Barrow would see security of employment for a new generation. This book covers the open hearth years, the actual process as worked at Barrow and the main changes the works underwent together with some of the personnel involved in taking the works forward into the middle of the 20th century
