This case study of Sevenoaks, in Kent, uses mainly newspaper coverage to trace the lengthy, highly contested process by which it solved its sewage problem. Some of the existing historiography of urban sanitation is relevant but three other factors were important in Sevenoaks. Firstly the advent of the Local Board which, secondly, provided the institutional platform from which local “progressive” politician Major James German could demonstrate the strong leadership and robust political skills needed to outmanoeuvre his “economist” opponents. His methods are detailed, together with the similarities between him and his Liberal contemporary, Joseph Chamberlain. Such was the political strength of Sevenoaks ratepayers, however, that a third factor – unrecognized by historians – was the role played by local newspapers in forming local opinion and in preventing the economists from derailing the progressive agenda.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/2051453014Z.00000000020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65869164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many ways, its development was closely associated with trends in Europe and elsewhere. This research was intuitively, or perhaps intentionally, produced under the umbrella of a variety of rural and urban developments, themes and phenomena; and some of these international influences on historians and other academics that surfaced in the humanities and social sciences in South Africa are analysed in this article. However, well-organised integrative research in a regional environment may be the only way to progress towards inclusive regional histories. In this regard, historians dealing with regional history can frame their research contribution more “historically” in the spirit of regional research, rather than “thematic-politically”, with geographies that either appears to be accentuated or peripheral. Historians in this field have also been accused of operating without a philosophical base and a sound epistemology. These challenges should be given some renewed critical thought by regional historians all over the world. In this article, ideas for rethinking this field of history are put forward in an effort to progress this debate. The article also informs this process through the historiography of local/regional history in South Africa, but within a global context. Some new thinking on place and people in regional history, with regard to research methodologies, unified as “historical regionalism”, is also offered for further debate.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/2051453014Z.00000000015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65869480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article provides an in-depth case study of how waste was produced, disposed of, and regulated in seventeenth-century Carlisle, including the regulation of so-called “noxious trades”, such as tannery, skinning, and butchery. It reveals that far from the common misconception, that urban inhabitants were disinclined to establish and maintain a sanitary standard in the outdoor public spaces in which they lived and worked, Carlisle’s inhabitants, Carlisle Corporation, and the city’s Court Leet Jurors invested considerable time, money, and effort into cleaning the streets, ensuring the sewers flowed efficiently and that dung and other “rubbidge” was carted out of the city. Some townspeople flouted by-laws and created malodorous, insanitary nuisances, but they constituted only a relatively small minority of Carlisle’s population. The article is split into two sections. The first describes how waste was produced in seventeenth-century Carlisle and the waste-disposal facilities and systems that were available to inhabitants. The second section explains the symmetry between Carlisle Corporation and inhabitants’ efforts to maintain outdoor cleanliness, the socio-economic context of adherence to sanitation by-laws (by relating Court Leet presentments to Hearth Tax data), and how waste management changed over time.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/2051453014Z.00000000013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65869405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was the third such bonfire to be lit in the market place in almost as many years, the first two prompted by the university’s rejection of degrees for women in 1897 and by a visit to Cambridge by Lord Kitchener in 1898, and it therefore contributed to a rapidly-developing crisis over the extent and effectiveness of the control exercised at street level by both the city and the university authorities. The controversy sparked off by the relief of Ladysmith gave particular importance to the preparations being made for the expected relief of Mafeking later in the year, which became the vehicle for an effective reassertion of authority and control by the city council. The article also considers the way in which the bonfires reflected conflicting perceptions of masculinity and the long-running rivalry between the university and the town.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1179/2051453014Z.00000000014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65869426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
