La clase media en la Gran Bretaña Victoriana
La «edad Victoriana» en Gran Bretaña conoció cambios sin precedentes en la estructura social, especialmente entre las clases medias que surgían y se desarrollaban en el seno de la «primera nación industrial». Los historiadores han estado prestando atención a este complejo fenómeno, y este ensayo historiográfico examina las vías en la que la ortodoxia ha sido desafiada por recientes interpretaciones y cómo el desdén de los historiadores por las cl…
Revisiting the Rochdale Pioneers
The 'Rochdale Pioneers' are generally regarded as the originators of modern co-operation through their combination of ethical trading with the dividend on purchases. There are other contenders for this label, but the Toad Lane premises of the 'Pioneers' has become a centre for global co-operative pilgrimage, and the Pioneers have acquired their own foundation myths. This article revisits the origins of the Rochdale Pioneers, offering a critical a…
Tourism and maritime history
From institution to fragmentation
The development of a weekend with a central focus on Saturday and Sunday, punctuating the working week, was a key element in the rise of British industrial society, with repercussions across the developed and developing worlds. It became a distinguishing feature of the balance between work and leisure which underpinned the mature British industrial economy between the 1880s and the 1960s, giving a distinctive shape and structure to the working we…

Family firm, health resort and industrial colony
There is a considerable literature on histories of family businesses, but very little dealing with the tourism and hospitality sector, despite growing recognition of its importance. This case study of a Spanish mineral springs resort between the 1870s and the 1930s sets the trajectory of Mondariz Balneario, Galicia, a family-run spa hotel with an elite clientele, in national and international context. It seeks to explain the resort's inter-genera…
Los orígenes del espectador de clase obrera en el deporte
This article examines the development of working-class commercial spectator sport in the English county of Lancashire, especially the areas where the cotton industry dominated in the south and east, during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It argues that the growing popularity of professional Association football, coupled with similar developments in other sports, made this pioneer industrial area the location of a new kind of spor…
Another face of ‘mass tourism’
Histories of the ‘mass tourism’ of sunshine and beaches, and of the ‘package holiday’, in post-war Europe have tended to focus on the activities of big international companies and the role of governments. This has certainly been the case in Spain. This article recovers an earlier version of the urban history of coastal tourism in southern Europe, focusing on the resort of San Sebastián in the Spanish Basque Country, and thereby drawing attention …
The Northern Rambler
This article analyses the nature and development of a grassroots popular culture of countryside appreciation, based on rural walking and access to unenclosed land, in northern England, covering the period between the emergence of footpath preservation societies in the 1820s and the controversies over access to Kinder Scout in the1930s. It has particular reference to Lancashire and the ‘Dark Peak’ in north Derbyshire, where activities of this sort…

Seaside tourism in Europe
This article explores aspects of the relationship between business history and urban history through a discussion of the seaside resort as a type of town that might also be regarded as a business (as might other kinds of town specialising in leisure and tourism). In the process it looks comparatively at aspects of the development of such towns across Europe, at the range of ways in which an understanding of seaside tourism contributes to a more s…
Sport and the Basques
This article explores relationships between sport and the construction and expression of collective identities in the Basque Country of northern Spain. It focuses on the period between the restoration to the Bourbon monarchy in 1876 and the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War sixty years later, which was transitional in economic, social and political terms, with pockets of rapid industrialization and the rise of Basque nationalism. It identifies th…
Constructing Cultural Tourism
Focusing on the formative influence of the works of John Ruskin in defining and developing cultural tourism, this book describes and assesses their effects on the 'tourist gaze' ('where to go and what to see', and how to see it) as directed at landscape, scenery, architecture and townscape, from the early Victorian period onwards.

Leisure Towns in Wartime
Given the clear and growing importance of resorts and 'leisure towns' in Europe during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and considering the obvious vulnerability of such urban economies to the social dislocations associated with major wars, it seems surprising that so little attention has been paid to the impact of war on such towns. General surveys of war and social change have, on the whole, neglected resorts completely, while studies of…
The Rhetoric of Community and the Business of Pleasure
Health and pleasure resorts constitute a distinctive, numerous and important kind of industrial town. But they, and the service industries which are central to their economies, have hardly been studied from a social conflict and industrial relations perspective. This paper opens out this theme by analysing a strike in the catering trades in San Sebastián, at the time Spain's largest and most prestigious seaside resort, at the height of the holida…

This article offers an approach through administrative and cultural history to the problems associated with gathering and processing data for the Spanish national census of 1920, and by implication for earlier Spanish censuses. It focuses on the Basque province of Guipúzcoa, making use of correspondence between the central statistical office in Madrid, the provincial jefe de estadística and the localities, and of reports on three problematic town…
Current trends in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spanish urban history
It is now several years since José Luis Oyón presented an overview of recent trends in Spanish urban history, and this article seeks to communicate a sense of developments in the field since the mid-1990s, dealing with publications covering the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: ‘contemporary’ rather than ‘modern’ history, in Spanish terminology. The question of what constitutes ‘urban history’ in Spain remains problematic, in the absence of a ‘…
Locality, gender and co-operation in England
This article is a response to Barbara Blasak's article on the gendered geography of the English Co-operative movement (Women's History Review, 9, pp. 559-584. It argues that Blasak has neglected important secondary sources on regional complexity, the social structure of Co-operative membership and the division of labour within the household. Her explanation for her interesting finding that women found it more difficult to secure election to Co-op…

Lancashire
If England was 'the first industrial nation', Lancashire was emphatically the first industrial county the first to develop, over a wide area, the combination of steam-powered factory industry and urban sprawl which says 'Industrial Revolution' to most people. It was also one the first fully industrialised areas to experience catastrophic economic decline in the inter-war years. Much has been written about particular aspects of the Lancashire indu…
