Heritage, Craft, and Identity
The accelerated decline in British manufacturing is palpable. One of the industries significantly affected by this was lace. Nottingham, and its surrounding district, used to be the mainstay of British lace manufacturing. Immediately prior to the First World War, there were some 350 firms operating. Now only one small company remains. This micro-study, based on ethnographic observation and oral testimony, examines the thoughts and attitudes of th…

Crime, Regulation and Control during the Blitz: protecting the population of bombed cities." Social History, 42(1), pp. 142–143
Counting civil society
With few dissenting voices, the historiography of twentieth-century urban civil society has been relayed through a prism of continuing and escalating elite disengagement. Within a paradigm of declinism, academics, politicians and social commentators contrast a past offering a richness of social commitment against a present characterized by lowering standards in urban governance. Put simply, the right sorts of people were no longer volunteering. Y…
Eggs, rags and whist drives
Drawing on hospital reports, committee minutes and the local press, this article examines the changing landscape of urban civic culture and challenges the pessimistic accounts of charitable financial support for voluntary hospitals in inter-war England.Through case studies of hospitals in four of the largest cities in the country, it assesses the extent to which voluntary resources of time and money continued to underpin day-to-day institutional …
Did We Really Want a National Health Service? Hospitals, Patients and Public Opinions before 1948
Opposing the Conservative-led government's planned 'modernising' health reforms in 2011, Dr Mark Porter, the Chair of the British Medical Association's hospital consultants committee, felt sufficiently confident of a popular understanding-or should it be misunderstanding?-of our past to proclaim, in a none too complimentary fashion
Calculating class’
The multifarious ‘objective’ indicators used to place individuals by class (for example, occupation, wealth, income), or proxies thereof, capture only a part of who we are. More important is our ‘style of life’: our tastes, how we spend what we earn and how this interplays socially to include or exclude us from ‘society’. Of these the most significant cultural site was an individual's house and home, against which, using local property tax record…

Humanising’ Construction?1 The Languages of Industrial Relations Reform, Full Employment and Productivity after 1945
The impact of ‘human relations’ ideology remains contentious. This article examines how such ideas were deconstructed in the British building industry during the postwar battle to raise productivity. Construction offers a useful testing bed for a strategy based on organic, workplace co-operation: it has the dichotomous attributes of past ‘human neglect’ within a reputed industrial relations framework of harmonious mutuality. The industry suffered…
The construction and form of modern cities
‘Urban historians’, we are told, are ‘obliged to be more eclectic’ than other scholars of the city. The volumes covered by this review certainly speak to the rich diversity of urban history making.* While the others can take a ‘well-defined disciplinary perspective’ – as sociologists, geographers, etc. – only we are expected to ‘study the interaction of the urban fabric on the social fabric’ in its ‘unique spatial setting’ across social, economic…
Did Manual Workers Want Industrial Welfare? Canteens, Latrines and Masculinity on British Building Sites 1918-1970
Whether or not manual workers actually valued industrial welfarism has been largely subsumed within the debate over its productive or coercive function. Yet many workers seemingly placed little importance on such benefits, either when demanded by unions or provided by employers. This rebuttal should not be read only in terms of the primacy of money wages within a hierarchy of demands. Taking construction as an example of a male dominated industry…
Civic perceptions
The adoption of non-traditional housing by local authorities is customarily explained in terms of economic factor shortages or a nationally determined policy discourse. This underestimates the significance of distinctly local understandings of civic responsibility. Based on Leicester and Nottingham, this article argues that those influences frequently used to predict outcomes – like party political allegiance – mattered less in decision-making th…
