The tournament has been romanticised by the press as a key national triumph following England's victory, whilst sport historians have critiqued the event's cultural, economic, political and social impact. This article contends that this major sporting event served as a platform for articulating and experiencing the provincial north of England by highlighting how post-war Sheffield utilised the 1966 World Cup to promote multiple identities spanning that of a traditional, northern industrial centre to one of a modern, forward-thinking city.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":"12 1","pages":"106 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2017.1400717","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45124545","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}

Examining the archives of leading Australian heritage protagonists, this article argues that the Australian innovations of the 1970s and 1980s were prompted in part by a backlash against European heritage ideas and practices, after Australian heritage practitioners found themselves side-lined at European meetings. Over subsequent decades, the Australian heritage management events of this historical period have proven significant for local, regional and international conservation efforts in cities and beyond.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":"12 1","pages":"120 - 133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2017.1400719","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47992898","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 will examine how the image of the cotton industry was projected to a wider audience and, in so doing, sought to challenge long-held assumptions of the North. This will include highlighting the role of civic pride, pageantry, and the election of Cotton Queens, which ultimately showed how the sense of place and pride in the cotton industry was a central facet of living through industrial decline.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":"12 1","pages":"77 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2017.1400716","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46823876","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}

A number of these buildings now house museums of crime and punishment. These sites often focus on local histories linked to physical structures to present this history to regional, national, and international visitors. For these museums based in the North of England, portrayals of convicts are affected by contemporary understandings of Northern identity and penal heritage. National representations of Northern identity, such as those described by Dave Russell, can feed into these museum interpretations due to the variety of visitors to these sites. The museums also play a part in the construction and encapsulation of identity for local visitors. This paper will focus on observation results from two case study sites in Yorkshire, Ripon Museums, and York Castle Museum, to examine the variety of ways Northern identity is represented within sites linked to crime and punishment history.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":"12 1","pages":"107 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2017.1400718","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49210576","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}

It argues that, in Hull, the overwhelming response of local people was a sort of “defensive” or “practical patriotism”. The safety of kith and kin, local culture and “way of life” was foremost in the minds of those attesting to join the colours, rather than the more abstract notion of defending “King and Country”. Though the latter certainly played its role in expressions of anti-German feeling and in attitudes to the war more broadly, it was more often combined with “local specificities” taken from the experience of life in Hull. Even riotous and criminal attacks upon the homes and businesses of naturalised German Hullensians could be oblique expressions of concern for the defence of the city, especially pertinent in a port in close proximity to the North Sea.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":"12 1","pages":"42 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2017.1353770","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42274295","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}

By examining the prolonged battle for the waters of the Upper Wharfe between 1853 and 1858, as well as flashpoint episodes in 1884, and 1887, this article will highlight how both towns attempted to express their civic authority and power through the building of mass waterworks schemes, which not only provided for their populations but emphasised their ability to construct large, expensive infrastructure projects that gave prominence to the civic project.","PeriodicalId":37727,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Regional and Local History","volume":"12 1","pages":"24 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20514530.2017.1353769","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43055321","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}
