Architectural taste and patronage in Newcastle upon Tyne, 1870-1914
No full textThis thesis examines architectural taste and patronage in Newcastle upon Tyne between 1870 and 1914. During this period, the city experienced dramatic expansion as the wealth generated in industry, finance and retail was channelled into commercial and public architecture. The overall aim is to determine whether Newcastle formed a distinctive architectural culture. Newcastle's economic and social profile gave rise to specific patterns of taste and patronage. The thesis explores the cultural networks that shaped the built form of the city, arguing that architectural patronage in Newcastle was dominated by a cultural oligarchy. This group formed an architectural culture, a relatively self-contained community in which particular styles and architects were favoured above others. Newcastle was a major centre of industry, finance and retail, and played a significant role in the national economy. The thesis seeks to reposition Newcastle within the context of the dynamic forces that were reshaping Britain's built environment. As the period progressed, the distinctive patterns of taste and patronage within the city were eroded by the increasingly national economy, the influence of the metropolis and the more active role played by the centralised state. The thesis relates the architectural culture under study to the national mainstream, thus shedding light on the relationship between provincial architecture and the metropolis. The thesis employs a range of methodological strategies in order to bring the different facets of architecture into focus. With clearly defined geographical and temporal boundaries, it seeks to clarify the economic, social and cultural factors that underpin architectural production, thus offering a new insight into architectural patronage
Water trades on the lower River Tyne in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
Get PDFThis thesis examines the community of water related tradesmen who worked in Newcastle upon Tyne and along the lower river Tyne during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Much of the published literature on the subject is confined to the study of the keelmen and the coal-carrying keels. The thesis re-examines the history of this community using a number of relatively unexplored sources. These include using the records of All Saints parish to examine the composition and dynamics of the population, re-examining the objective evidence for inward migration, particularly from Scotland and the Borders. A further study includes a detailed examination of probate inventories belonging to merchants and tradesmen working in Newcastle, and other communities along the Tyne, for evidence of working boat and ship ownership. These revealed a network of coal owners, merchants and hostmen controlling the coal trade locally, and a spectrum of water tradesmen, including keelmen and watermen, together with other groups including wherrymen and shipwrights. The study revealed an interweaving of the ownership of both ships and river craft, demonstrating the key role of shipwrights, not just as builders of ships and keels, but also as owners of significant quantities of these craft themselves, many of which they rented to hostmen. An examination of Newcastle Port Books showed not only the size of the coal trade, but also the enormous breadth of the non-coal trade into and out of Newcastle, one of the consequences of the growing wealth of Newcastle as a trading centre stimulating the consumption of a wide range of foodstuffs and luxury items. The thesis ends by examining the diary of an apprentice hostman who worked in Newcastle from 1749 to 1756, which highlights many of the changes occurring in Newcastle and the coal trade, and reinforces many of the observations made in the thesis.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

Barry MacSweeney's North East : a study of the rural and the urban in his published and unpublished poetry
Get PDFThe rural and the urban North East constitute fundamental and enduring elements of Barry MacSweeney's poetic, connecting his oeuvre from the earliest to the last of his compositions. Both have received frequent and passing attention from critics, but this is the first sustained examination to draw extensively on the recently acquired Barry MacSweeney Archive at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. The first part deals with MacSweeney's rural North East, dernythologising his complex literary relationship with the poet Basil Bunting; examining the construction of his 'Sparty Lea locale'; exploring his wider North East region and assessing the complex signification of 'North' and Northern identity within his work. The second part focuses on the poet's urban North East and attempts to redress the underdeveloped status of his native Newcastle in criticism of his work. It examines the literary precursors which enabled MacSweeney to realise his poetic city; unravels the imagistic evolution of Newcastle as an entity within his published and manuscript poems; and explores the private concerns which made it a truly individual construct. MacSweeney's poetic North East is shown to be a place of solitary refuge but also of community: one infused with passion, restlessness, social indignation and a notion of identity fragmented by geographical tensions. Above all this thesis demonstrates the centrality of the landscapes which MacSweeney deemed fundamental to himself and to the nature of his region; his willingness to respond to these evolving topographies; and his constant endeavours to inscribe and understand his own interaction with them through the metamorphosing forms of his poetry.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

Whose party is it anyway? : music-making, urban development and neoliberalism in Newcastle upon Tyne, 1995-2010
Get PDFPhD ThesisThis thesis assesses some of the socio-spatial impacts of city branding and culture-led regeneration in Newcastle-upon-Tyne,1 in North East England, on local music scenes during the period 1995—2010. It critiques in particular the ways in which the process of neoliberalisation in Newcastle has shaped local urban development and culture. While focused on the local, the study seeks also to highlight how the reproduction of urban music scenes is intertwined with much broader economic and political currents.
It adopts a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on aspects of popular music studies, urban and cultural geographies, and cultural theory. A range of methodologies is employed and extensive use is made of the internet as both archive and research tool. It is above all grounded in lived experience, the author having been a local resident and active musician since 2003.
The first two chapters provide the context in which Newcastle became known as the ‘Party City’, an image created as part of a city (re)branding campaign designed to promote ‘NewcastleGateshead’ as a cultural destination. Analysis focuses on the strategies by which this was achieved, and the ideology and motivation behind the campaign.
Three case studies are then presented that examine the impacts on local music scenes of the closures of three well-known venues, each of which was an important space for various scenes. Analysis positions Newcastle’s music scenes in relation to shifts in capitalist accumulation.
In conclusion, an assessment of the post-Party City period validates points made throughout the thesis, with some suggestions as to strategies that Newcastle might develop to allow music-making to be incorporated more constructively into its vision for a vibrant contemporary city.AHRC sponsored the second and third years of my study
Investigation on Baggage Transfer Service at Newcastle Central Station to Serve Various Destinations: Interim Report
Get PDFDue to the absence of current baggage transfer service in any of the UK’s train station, the main aim of this project is to investigate the possibility of launching a newly baggage transfer system at Newcastle Central Station to serve various destinations across the country. Although this study only related to Newcastle Central station, it can be extended to any part of the country in the future if proven feasible. This new service is intended to facilitate boarding and alighting trains for those carrying large luggage to give a smoother and thus more comfortable journey
