Mining Heritage

On 9 September 2017 a service of remembrance was held in East Wemyss for the nine miners killed in the disastrous fire at Michael, exactly 50 years previously. The service was organised by the Fife Mining Heritage Preservation Society (FMHPS), and held at the village memorial, a miniature replica of Michael’s No. 3 pit head-frame. The service was attended by a multi-generational assembly of about 450. It was introduced by Duncan Gilfillan and Elizabeth McGuire, Chair and Secretary of the FMHPS, and led by the Reverend Wilma Cairns of Buckhaven and East Wemyss Parish Church. The Reverend Cairns spoke warmly about the nine miners who were still mourned by the families who lost them: Hugh Gallacher, aged 61, Alexander Henderson, 41, James Mackay, 59, Henry Morrison, 36, Johnston Smith, 60, James Tait, 41, Andrew Taylor, 43, Andrew Thomson, 55, and Philip Thomson, 64. She remembered these men as skilled workers, loving husbands, fathers and sons, helpful colleagues, friendly drinking buddies and pals who went to the football. Family flowers were joined on the village memorial by tributes from the Scottish Mines Rescue Training Centre in Crossgates, Fife, which had assumed a leading role in the difficult recovery operation in 1967, and representatives of Fife Trades Union Council, present with their banner, along with Peter Grant, MP for Glenrothes, and David Torrance, MSP for Kirkcaldy....

Stanley, Co. Glos., is a village on the western slope of a spur of the Cotswolds one and a half miles north of Stonehouse. The village and parish are commonly called Leonard Stanley or Stanley St. Leonards to distinguish them from the next parish of King's Stanley as well as from the Wiltshire Stanley where there was also a conventual house. Occasionally it appears as Stanley Monachorum. But generally it was simply Stanley, and Stanley without qualification is the name which local lips often assign to it even at the present day.Stanley St. Leonards can boast of two most interesting churches. The older church, now degraded to farm-yard purposes, was the ancient preconquest rectory church, but it is small, a chapel in fact, and therefore, following medieval usage, we shall distinguish it from the greater monastic and present parish church by naming it as the chapel of St. Leonard.

AbstractChina's urbanization has created a large number of urban villages which, although they have been transferred to urban administration, have maintained their collective economies. Using a comparative perspective, this article investigates how villagers, the village collectives and the urban administration organize community governance in three urban villages on the fringes of the cities of Guangzhou, Wuhan and Shenyang. The findings suggest that successful village collective shareholding companies play a leading role in community governance by providing villagers with economic and social welfare, subsidizing community administration services, and mobilizing residents. The comparative analysis also shows that village shareholding companies employ different mechanisms based on the varied histories of their village collective economies, the ability of the village collectives to mobilize resources, and the degree to which the village collectives are engaged in the grassroots administrative structure. The article argues that the “not rural but not urban” governance mode of the urban villages illustrates China's fragmented urbanization planning. At the same time, it illuminates the dynamics of state–society relations during China's urbanization and how landless villagers and village collectives respond to urban transformation by adopting different strategies to preserve their individual and collective interests.

We wanted and needed to create a coal mining heritage park that could combine history, education, science, and recreation…it was a big job and we didn't have the expertise to do it, didn't have the training, didn't have much of the technical support that we needed…And then we needed to collect our oral history because our people are dying so rapidly-and so the university [Radford University] helped us do that. It was a creation of a larger community of actors. And so it just sort of doubled or increased our power to do what we needed to do. This partnership of ours has been great. It's been ten years, and counting. (Jimmie L. Price, President of the Coal Mining Heritage Association, March 19, 2005)

John Pyel was a Northamptonshire man from the village of Irthling-borough, lying on the upper bank of the River Nene four miles northeast of Wellingborough. Situated on the principal trade route from Northampton to Peterborough, and indeed to the port of King's Lynn, the village was well-placed to transport commercial produce, which in the fourteenth century consisted principally of hides for the leather industry and wool. The surrounding area was also likely to have been rich in cereals and other arable crops. John Pyel inherited a plot of land in the village from his father, John senior, in 1348, and, although by now settled in London, he began from about this date to build up an extensive estate in this part of Northamptonshire. He certainly showed special concern for Irthlingborough. It was at his prompting that Peterborough abbey was granted a licence in 1375 to establish the parish church of St Peter as a college and it was to St Peter's that he granted the remainder of his estate and in its porch that he was to be buried. He also made bequests in his will to both parish churches in the village and provided for thirteen crosses to be set up there and for repairs to the bridge and highways.

Abstract The paper presents results of research based on analysis of weather conditions during the storm front on 11th and 12th August, 2017, which has been relocated through a significant area of Poland. The front with an unprecedented force struck the infrastructure of the Academic Training Centre in the village of Czernica (ATC Czernica) on 11th August, 2017 about 23:05 CET. Due to wind impact of near-hurricane force, significant damage in the facility’s infrastructure and the biggest losses are incurred in forest resources. The data from the front passage through Gdynia was observed on a mobile meteorological station located at the Naval Academy in Gdynia. Describing the phenomenon and displaying the losses caused is one of the historical goals set before the article, because such a rapid weather phenomenon has not been recorded in the more than 50-years history of the Center in Czernica.

Francesco Petrarca retired in 1370 to the small country house at Arquà, near Padua, in which he died. The house, its contents, and the great marble sarcophagus erected for his remains outside the parish church brought fame to the village, as Giovanni Boccaccio had prophesied they would. By the fifteenth century literary pilgrims were attracted to the village; in the sixteenth, house and tomb were adomed by Pietro Paolo Valdezocco, and Anton Francesco Doni proposed an elaborate memorial. In the seventeenth, Giacomo Filippo Tomasini described the village and tomb, and by the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the site had become popular with tourists, Lord Byron included. Among the attractions was the mummified corpse of a cat, said to have belonged to the poet.

The parents of F. M. Dostoevsky purchased an estate in the Kashirsky district of the Tula Province in 1831. It comprised the village of Darovoe and the hamlet of Darovaya. This purchase is known both from the memoirs of A. M. Dostoevsky, and from numerous indirect sources: metric books of the Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit in the village of Monogarovo (parish church of the village of Darovoe), census records, family correspondence of the Dostoevskys and Ivanovs, etc. However, none of these sources provides sufficiently complete information about when and from whom Darovoe was bought, as well as what it was. In the proposed publication, previously unknown first official documents are introduced into scientific circulation. They allow to clarify the dates and conditions of the purchase of Darovoe by the Dostoevskys — bills of sale for the village of Darovoe and the hamlet of Darovaya, dated 1829 and 1831, that are stored in the reserves of the Central State Archive of Moscow.

The article presents the results of a study of Arabic inscriptions from a medieval Muslim shrine, located in the mountainous Lezgin village of Hryug, South Dagestan. The rich epigraphy of Hryug has not been studied until recently.The author introduces a new material of contents of the revealed Arabic construction-related inscriptions of the Muslim shrine of Sufi Rajab, located in the outskirts of the village. The discovery of the text, dated 16th century, made it possible to learn about the building of a special construction in Hryug. The building was conducted in 1565‒66 by the members of local religious elite and designed for safekeeping an Islamic relic (khirqa), which is directly mentioned in the said text. The inscription contains the names of all seven men, involved in the building of the shrine. Among them was supposedly an Arab, as indicated by the Arabic name (kunyia) Abu Hurayira. Typical Sufi references in the inscription, such as khirqa, the name of the Sufi Rajab, who directed the construction, the Sufi’s abode (khanaqah) and even details of a Sufi religious ritual, lead to a firm conclusion that this shrine was part of a Sufi complex in Hryug, likely belonging to Khalwatiya tariqa. Sufi Rajab himself was presumably a follower of Khalwatiya, which penetrated from the neighbouring Shirvan. Newly obtained scientific data on Sufism in Dagestan in the 16–17th century allow us to attribute a number of famous sheikhs and religious figures of the late medieval Dagestan to the Sufi order of Khalwatiya.The Hryug shrine was renovated more than once, as evidenced by the preserved construction-related inscriptions of 17th and 19th centuries. After the burial of Sufi Rajab in the shrine, it acquired his name among the people; and for keeping khirqa, in the last quarter of the 17th century a new building was built. Members of the local religious elite, also being skilled workers (usta), took part in its construction. Two of them (a father and a son) are mentioned in other inscriptions of the Samur region.
