Towards a Comparative History of Coalfield Societies
Reconciled gradually to the system of indoor relief’
Evidence is growing that Wales was a distinctive ‘welfare region’ under the New Poor Law. Higher rates of out-relief, tense relations with London and a deep dislike of the workhouse system marked the Principality out as different. This article considers Welsh distinctiveness in the context of the ‘crusade against out-relief’. Launched in the early 1870s, the crusade saw out-relief numbers tumble nationally. Little is known about the crusade in Wa…
Medicine and the Workhouse
Non-specialists might be forgiven for thinking the workhouse is one of our better known institutions. Many scholarly studies and popular history works have taken life inside the ‘house’ as their su
Paul O'Leary. Claiming the Streets
This is a study of the rich processional culture that flourished in the towns of early and mid-Victorian South Wales. The period saw an almost endless series of crowds winding their way through their towns' main streets. While not a novel cultural practice, the Victorian procession was more democratic than it had ever been, and as a result of the burgeoning newspaper industry, its impact on the consciousness of urbanites was greater than ever. Ev…
Strikers and the Right to Poor Relief in Late Victorian Britain
Did late Victorian strikers have a right to poor relief? Historians have suggested they did not. Scholars point out that nineteenth-century strikers rarely turned to the Poor Law for assistance, and when they did, during a colliers' strike in South Wales in 1898, Poor Law officials were taken to court by disgruntled coal companies. In the subsequent High Court ruling known as the Merthyr Tydfil judgment of 1900, the Master of the Rolls decided th…
Welfare's Forgotten Past
What is the most significant conclusion to be drawn from Oliver Twist’s workhouse experiences? Should we be most impressed with the fact that the poor-law authorities provided the little orphan with shelter, clothes and food or simply be appalled at the harshness of the regime overseen by Mr Bumble and his colleagues? There is little doubt about the message Dickens wanted his readers to take from the story: the poor law was cruel and heartless. T…
Starving Strikers and the Limits of the “Humanitarian Discovery of Hunger” in Late Victorian Britain
By the late nineteenth century, the hungry increasingly found themselves constructed as objects of compassion. However, there were real limits to the “humanitarian discovery of hunger”. Not every famished body was understood as deserving of sympathy. Compassionate citizens were particularly troubled by the mass distress that often accompanied lengthy strikes. How should they respond to such hunger? A study of newspaper representations of strike-i…
Protesting about Pauperism
Mabon's Day
The rise and fall of Mabon's Day, a monthly holiday observed by miners in the South Wales coalfield between 1888 and 1898, is examined. Named after the Lib–Lab MP, William Abraham (better known by his bardic name, Mabon), the winning of the holiday reveals much about the industrial strategy of the Welsh Lib–Labs. Hitherto, historians have simply assumed that the holiday was the product of a compromise between masters and men. As such, it has been…
Communing with ‘the laity’
For as historians are compelled to grind out their specified quota of specialized articles and inaccessible monographs, which are at best read only by a handful of professional colleagues, and are at worst almost completely ignored, this makes them less and less able to fulfil that essential public function which remains their real and abiding justification: satisfying the interest and furthering the comprehension of that broader, non-professiona…
