Book Synopsis A History of Doncaster by : Brian J. Barber
Download or read book A History of Doncaster written by Brian J. Barber and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doncaster’s history stretches back nearly two thousand years but the modern town has little in the way of physical heritage. Few northern settlements affected by industrialisation have retained many buildings from earlier periods besides their parish churches, but a disastrous fire in 1853 robbed Doncaster of even that building and its evidence of antiquity. Eighteenth- and 20th-century redevelopments further depleted the slender legacy of buildings the town had acquired, yet there remains much of interest and value, not least in the spine that runs from the racecourse to the civic mansion house, which alerts both resident and visitor to the historic status of the town. This new comprehensive telling of the Doncaster story is based, therefore, on written records covering most of the last millennium. The small community determined to assert its independence in the Middle Ages withstood poverty, plague and civil war in the age of the Tudors and Stuarts, and became the centre of a rural area which it served as market town for centuries. Over the last 150 years, if not before, this district has experienced changes as radical as those that have affected Doncaster, becoming a largely industrial area following the rapid growth of the industrial town. The increasing prosperity of 18th-century England gave rise to greater leisure opportunities, and for over 200 years Doncaster’s September race meeting has featured the St Leger, one of the oldest classics of the English turf. To the Victorians, and for more than a century afterwards, Doncaster was renowned as a railway town, and its engineering works produced some of the icons of the Age of Steam. In the 20th century it was a boom town of the Yorkshire coalfield and latterly one of the provinces of the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire. With an appropriate emphasis on the changing ways in which local people have sought to govern themselves, Brian Barber tells the story of everyday life in a northern town which was for cen

Book Synopsis A History of English Place Names and Where They Came From by : John Moss
Download or read book A History of English Place Names and Where They Came From written by John Moss and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-05-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of the names of many English towns, hamlets and villages date as far back as Saxon times, when kings like Alfred the Great established fortified borough towns to defend against the Danes. A number of settlements were established and named by French Normans following the Conquest. Many are even older and are derived from Roman placenames. Some hark back to the Vikings who invaded our shores and established settlements in the eighth and ninth centuries. Most began as simple descriptions of the location; some identified its founder, marked territorial limits, or gave tribal people a sense of their place in the grand scheme of things. Whatever their derivation, placenames are inextricably bound up in our history and they tell us a great deal about the place where we live.
