摘要

摘要本文旨在通过利兹和布拉德福德各自的自来水厂来探讨他们之间的公民竞争。由于这两个城镇的人口和工业都在增长，清洁、柔软的水对保持增长至关重要。由于地理位置接近，两个城镇都寻求相同的水源，这不可避免地导致了冲突。通过考察1853年至1858年间上码头水域的长期争夺战，以及1884年和1887年的爆发点事件，本文将强调这两个城镇是如何试图通过建造大规模的自来水厂计划来表达他们的公民权威和权力的，这不仅为他们的人口提供了便利，昂贵的基础设施项目突出了市政项目。

Bad Neighbours? Water Supply and the Civic Rivalry of Leeds and Bradford, c.1850–1887

ABSTRACT This article looks to explore the civic rivalry between Leeds and Bradford through the medium of their respective waterworks. As both towns grew in population and industry, clean, soft water was vital in order to maintain growth. Due to their geographic proximity, both towns looked to the same sources of water, which inevitably led to conflict. 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.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
