The Hiring Fairs of Northern England, 1890-1930
In considerations of rural England, the century after 1850 is too often portrayed, especially outside academic circles, simply as a period of decline. Sometimes the mood is nostalgic, but often the narrative is of depression and exploitation, showing farm labourers to be universally badly treated and seriously underpaid. Thus, a recent review by Terry Eagleton of Roy Strong’s Visions of England in the Guardian rightly castigates visions of an ‘Ar…
Mechanisation and Society in English Agriculture
This article examines three linked assumptions relating to English agriculture between 1850 and 1914. First, that the north devoted its energies to industrialisation. Second, that mechanisation made steady progress, based largely on southern initiatives. Third, that this took farming towards large, capital-intensive and steam-powered operations. This conventional wisdom is inherently weak given the high reputation of Northumbrian farming in 1850,…

Northern English industrial towns
By 1974, northern England had become one of Europe's most urbanized areas, though it had very few towns in 1500. However, the dense population of the industrial regions lived in towns which were unusually crowded together and which had not developed conventional hierarchical structures. No dominant northern metropolis ever emerged, and this unusual urban system displayed intense rivalry at all levels. Was this coincidental, or can it help explain…
Houses as Museums
Oakwell Hall, Birstall, Red House, Gomersal, and Bagshaw Museum, Batley, are three historic properties which lie at the heart of the old Yorkshire woollen manufacturing district, west of Leeds, where factory production emerged out of a dual economy that combined farming and making. Each effectively represents a key stage in that evolution. Here we examine how the real history of such houses, focusing especially on Red House, which epitomises the …

Complexity, Community Structure and Competitive Advantage within the Yorkshire Woollen Industry, c.1700–1850
The Yorkshire wool textile area was a classic dynamic industrial district between 1700 and 1850. It played a full part in the development of the new technology associated with the industrial revolution, but this was only one element in the wresting of competitive advantage from the traditional leaders of the industry in England. The woollen sector in particular showed strong continuity with the past in its business structures and institutional fr…
