Wigan mining statue unveiled
Wigan's long-awaited mining stature has finally been unveiled.
The covers were removed quietly and without fanfare after the original reveal event was cancelled because of the current pandemic crisis. The tarpaulin had to be taken off so the statue wouldn't begin to oxidize so the honours were performed by a single workman last week. The sculpture designed and crafted by Hull-based Steve Winterburn (who also did the nearby Billy Boston statue) has finally become a reality after years of hard work by members of the local history group WHAMM, whose chair Sheila Ramsdale was the inspiration behind the project.
The statue features a miner, pit brow lass and a child, and now proudly stands near Wigan Town Hall - the borough's former mining college. There are plans for an official unveiling later in the year.

Cliff Tragedy at South Shields
Boy Falls 60 Feet into Sea
South Shields, Sunday
James Bainbridge Ramsdale, an 18-year-old pitboy, of Westoe Road, South Shields, fell 60 feet into the sea from the top of a cliff at South Shields, yesterday, and lost his life. He stepped onto a ledge at the edge of a cliff in search of a pocket-knife, and the rocks gave way.
His companions, with whom he was camping at the seaside, hurried to the foot of the cliff and signalled to a fishing coble.
James Knowles, of Palmerston Street, South Shields, swam to Ramsdale's body, which was lying in the sea between two rocks, and fastened a rope round it. It was then hauled into the boat. Ramsdale had head injuries, but it is believed death was due to drowning.
Thomas Hawthorne, one of Ramsdale's companions, said:
"Ramsdale was looking for my knife, and I told him not to go too near the edge of the cliff. He climbed on to a ledge to look over and the ledge crumpled away under him. He disappeared. I saw him in the water, waving his arms as though he was trying to swim."
Ramsdale and his companions had intended camping on the coast over the week-end.

Youth Killed by Cliff Fall
South Shields' Pit Boys Rescue Efforts Praised
Two pit boys' efforts to save their 18 years-old friend, who was killed by a 60-ft fall over a cliff, were praised by the Coroner (Mr. R. W. M Patterson) at a South Shields inquest yesterday.
The victim was James Bainbridge Ramsdale, colliery worker, of Westoe Road, who was killed while camping with other boys at the seaside.
George William Armstrong (16), of Wharton Street, described how he got a boat arid with James Knowles rowed towards Ramsdale, who was lying at the foot of the cliffs. Owing to the rocks, the boat could not get near enough, so Knowles swam to Ramsdale and fastened round him a rope by which Ramsdale was hauled into the boat.
Addressing Knowles, the Coroner said:
"I think you are a very courageous lad in going to your companion's assistance among those rocks at high tide. I will see your brave action is brought to the notice of the proper authorities."
To Armstrong the Coroner said:
"You showed great presence of mind, and I would like to thank you for it."
A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club Owls Appoint Academy Chief: 17th September 2012 |
|
Sheffield Wednesday can confirm the appointment of Dean Ramsdale as the club's new academy manager. The North West product brings a wealth of experience to Middlewood Road with a 20-year background in football. Dean Ramsdale began his career with Burnley, where his role incorporated that of Head of the Under-9s to Under-11s Centre of Excellence and assistant coach to the Under-18s. He also managed the Clarets' Football in the Community Programme.
Dean then moved across the Pennines to Preston North End to take up the role of Director of Youth Development, where he produced and oversaw the club's coaching philosophy and structure from the Under-9s to Under-18s before completing the EPPP Audit Tool for PNE. A raft of academy youngsters graduated through to senior involvement at Deepdale under Ramsdale's guidance – including current Owls winger Danny Mayor. He also served as Preston's assistant manager in the Championship alongside David Unsworth on a caretaker basis. |
Dean Ramsdale moved to Morecambe as Lead Coach in line with the EPPP and oversaw the Under-18s, Under-21s and 9s to 16s in the club's Development Centre before being lured to Hillsborough. He said: "This is a great opportunity for me at a massive club that is moving forward. I want to build on the foundations already in place at the academy and I can’t wait to get started. I am really looking forward to working with the staff and, of course, Dave Jones and the management team. I am here to help the academy move forward and develop the young players the best I possibly can."
Owls boss Dave Jones added: "Dean is a very experienced and committed coach who will prove a key addition to our aims at Sheffield Wednesday. He has produced some really good young footballers and everyone is looking forward to working with him." |

The Ramsdale Affairs By Lawrence Edward Gartside |
|
When a young teacher starts work far away from home in a village school in the Lancashire Pennines, he can have no idea of the course his life is about to take. Matthew Clark has noble ideals and ambitions, but is totally unprepared for the intricacies and gossip of village life. The London-born teacher may think he knows about teaching, but as a newcomer to the village he quickly realises how little he knows about his fellow teachers, about farming, about village politics and the influence people have over him, for good or for ill. Set in the early years of the Depression of the thirties, in a worrying time of increasing unemployment and poverty, but also set against the stunningly beautiful scenery of the Ramsdale Valley, the complexities of all human life are played out. In a country village, all is not as it seems, and Matthew quickly finds out that he will have many battles to fight, affecting not just himself, but the future of the whole village. The Ramsdale Affairs was first written in 1976, but was completely rewritten and re-drafted in 1994 and in 2006. Published by Olympia Publishers (9 November 2009). |

Rosie Ramsdale (lyrics by Pete Smith) (Sung to the tune of "Where do you go to my lovely" by Peter Sarstedt)
Her face looks like (ruptured) kneecaps
And her arms are like Roy Holdstock's thighs
Her dresses are all bought from Woollies
Makes her look like a bloke in disguise
If you get next to her in the best stand
Her screaming will render you deaf
And if things go badly for Rovers
She shouts nasty things at the ref
What a sin, to the bin …
Oh, where do you go to my lovely
When you hang up your red and white togs
Your friends think that you're playing bingo
But we know you've gone to the dogs
On your own, have a bone …
When I look in your eyes Rosie Ramsdale
Sometimes it gives me a fright
Well I know you're a Rovers supporter
Cos one of them is red and one's white
She remembers the back streets of Southcoates
With houses no better than huts
And her only amusement at Christmas
Was sat watching granddad roasting his nuts
And his truss, what a fuss …
Oh, where do you go to my lovely
When you hang up your red and white togs
Your friends think that you're playing bingo
But we know you've gone to the dogs
On your own, have a bone …
She travels to all the away games
On a moped that isn't quite new
She sets off for Wigan on Fridays
And she gets there on Sunday at two
Oh, where do you go to my lovely
When you hang up your red and white togs
Your friends think that you're playing bingo
But we know you've gone to the dogs. |

The Proceedings of the Old Bailey |
The Old Bailey Proceedings contain accounts of over 100,000 criminal trials, as well as the text from the front and back cover and advertisements. They can be searched in several different ways. There are currently available (November 2004)
53,000 trials covering the period April 1674 to December 1799. |
Robert Ramsdale: Theft (housebreaking) 25 February 1719 |
The Proceedings of the Old Bailey Ref: t17190225-30 |
Robert Ramsdale, of St. Dunstan's at Stepney, was indicted for breaking open the house of John Peacok
the 1st of February last and taking thence a featherbed value 15 shillings a blanket, &c. The prosecutor deposed his house was
broke open the night aforesaid and that he lost the goods to the value of 23 shillings but the evidence not being sufficient and
the prisoner calling several to his reputation, who gave him a very good character, the jury acquitted him. |
Notes: |
Housebreaking is breaking into a dwelling house in the day time with intent to commit a felony (normally theft), or actually doing so, thereby putting the inhabitants of the house in fear. Such offences when committed at night were charged as Burglary. |
|
Mary Williams: Theft (simple grand larceny) 8 December 1790 |
The Proceedings of the Old Bailey Ref: t17901208-17 |
Mary Williams was indicted for stealing, on the fourth of November last, two sheets, value 6 shillings the property of Mary Ramsdale. The prisoner was taken in the passage with the things on her. Guilty. Fined 1 shilling and imprisoned six months. Tried by the first Middlesex Jury before Mr. Justice Buller. |
Notes: |
Simple Grand Larceny is the most common offence found in the Proceedings, and is the theft of goods of the value of 1 shilling or more, without any aggravating circumstances such as assault, breaking and entering, stealing "privately", or taking from specific locations. Occasionally, juries used their discretion to find people accused of such thefts guilty of the lesser crime of Petty Larceny with a Partial Verdict, by finding the defendant guilty of the theft of goods worth less than one shilling, thereby
ensuring a lesser punishment, usually Transportation. |
Fines were used only for the punishment of misdemeanours. Judges had the flexibility to vary the amount according to the severity of the offence and the status of both the victim and the convict; amounts varied from less than a shilling to hundreds of pounds. Small fines were sometimes token punishments in cases where the victim and defendant had reached an out-of-court settlement. Non-payment of fines led to incarceration in jail until the fine was paid. Following the abolition of branding in 1779, fines were frequently levied on those convicted of manslaughter. |

Ramsdale or
Ramsdell is a pleasant village, 4 miles N. of Wootton
Church, in Wootton St. Lawrence parish, but its ecclesiastical
district, formed in 1869, comprises also parts of the mother
parishes of Monk (or West) Sherborne and Tadley, and had 555
inhabitants in 1871. The CHURCH (Christchurch), a neat Early
English structure of flint, with red brick facings and Bath stone
dressings, consists of nave, chancel, and south porch, and was
erected in 1867, at the cost of £1100, raised by
subscription, chiefly through the exertions of the Rev. W. B.
Wither, the late vicar of Wootton St. Lawrence. The east window,
a triplet, is filled with beautiful stained glass, representing
the Resurrection, in memory of the mother and sister of the
vicar; the two single lights in the south wall of the chancel are
similarly enriched, as memorials of his father and son. The
living is a vicarage, valued at £300 a year, in the
patronage of the Bishop of Winschester, and incumbency of the
Rev. Joseph Fuller, M.A., who has a vicarage house, erected in
1869, at a cost of £2000, mainly contributed by the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Attached to the residence are
pleasant grounds; with a glebe of 30 acres, part of the
above-mentioned endowment. The United School Board district of
Wootton and Tadley has a SCHOOL here. In the village are very
large brick and lime works, and near it a chalk-pit, in which
fossils have been found. The heath is let out in allotments to
poor people. |

Arnold, Nottinghamshire |
Arnold covers seven square miles on the north-east side of the
City of Nottingham, stretching from the City's boundary for
several miles into the Sherwood Forest countryside. The original
village of Arnold was close to the Old North Road but earthworks
in the Spindle Lane area date from pre-Roman times, whilst on
Ramsdale Hill, just north of
Arnold, the Romans built an encampment. |
The Angles, in or around 600 AD settled in Arnold although
there is little evidence to show of their occupation. Arnold was
mentioned in the Doomsday Book, referred to as Ernehale,
generally understood as meaning a place frequented by eagles. The
repaving of Front Street in Arnold includes an eagle laid out in
paving bricks reflecting this link. |
Much of Arnold's history has been linked with the Old
North Road which, en route from London to York passed through the
parish. As a "King's Road" no village could be
built within half a mile of it and for many years the road by
passed Arnold. Even today the Mansfield Road (A60) by-passes the
town centre although the opening of the new Sir John Robinson Way
makes getting to and from Arnold onto the A60 easier. |
Scheduled Ancient Monument 8 Cockpit Hill, Ramsdale Park. These are earth works of a
large encampment, with a double defensive bank and ditch on a
defensive hill top location, the finds at this site have been
mainly pottery, with Roman and earlier Iron Age articles, there
are also Neolithic flints stones which suggest an even earlier
occupancy of the site. |

Wilmot, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, to Henry Pelham-Clinton, 4th
Duke of Newcastle under Lyne, Portman Square, London; 2 May 1847
Says that the duke will need to 'send in claims of
exemption' with regard to the Walesby tithes; states that he
will 'at once get Ramsdale out of possession'; will
send a plan of those portions of land which it would be desirable
for the duke to 'exchange on purchase' with the railway
company; reiterates that he has never been employed by the
Sheffield and Lincolnshire railway; says that he refuses to give
evidence where it concerns the duke's property; comments on
the rainfall; mentions that Mr Beardshaw is due to leave the
following day.

The Parish of Wootton
Northamptonshire |
The parish of Wootton lies in the Wymersley division of the
county of Northamptonshire about 2 miles to the south of
Northampton itself. The old parish is roughly a long triangle
with the point in the north west and lies on a south facing slope
which drops away from the ridge which separates it from
Hardingstone and Northampton. Wootton brook, which forms the
southern boundary, runs parallel with this ridge. Several small
tributaries run down the slopes and into the brook. To the west
of the village is Wooldale which runs south west from the
vicinity of Wootton Hall and to the east, Allwell and
Ramsdale form Choakwell which
runs south to the brook. A spring rises to the north west of
Blacky Moor but disappears within the one field. The village lies
on an outcrop of oolitic limestone and around this is ironstone
and an area of Northampton sand but the western end of the parish
is largely lias clay with a little alluvium along the course of
Wootton brook. |
The whole of the south and west boundary is the natural one of
Wootton brook. The brook runs into the river Nene at the extreme
north west of the parish, giving Wootton a short stretch, of this
major waterway. The importance of this access might explain why
the parish boundary juts out from the ancient track which forms
most of the northern boundary. This boundary of Green Lane and
Mereway is obviously an ancient one as its smooth line indicates
that it was established long before the land was broken up by
medieval furlong cultivation. Green Lane forms part of the old
drove road of Banbury Lane and it has been suggested that Mere
Way has even-older origins as part of an ancient Ridgeway - the
Jurassic Way. Recent archaeological thought, however, casts doubt
on the whole concept of ridgeways. |
The eastern boundary is the only one to show an irregular
pattern, following the shapes made by furlongs. This would
indicate that the original parish of Wootton was much larger and
encompassed Preston Deanery and even, perhaps, Courteenhall.
Until the late eighteenth century a detached part of Wootton
parish was surrounded by Courteenhall but it has now been
transferred to Courteenhall parish. These links with other
parishes could be evidence of the way the countryside was divided
into ancient Anglo-Saxon estates with Wootton belonging to an
estate possibly centered on Preston Deanery. |
In the Doomsday Book Wootton is described as Wetone. It later
became Weton, Wutton and Witton. The name Wootton does not appear
until the fourteenth century. It is generally agreed, however,
that all these names have the Saxon origin of Wudutun and mean
settlement or farmstead in or by a wood. There is no woodland
mentioned for Wootton in the Doomsday Book but Salcey forest
would have been on its eastern border and, perhaps, even extended
into the parish in Saxon times. |

Ramsdale is an imaginary,
medium sized seaside town situated on the East Coast of England
somewhere between Whitby and Scarborough. In the 1980s a few
local businessmen decided to develop the town into a tourist
resort to compliment the nearby Raven Hall Hotel and provide
local employment as the traditional industries were falling into
decline due to the growth of deep water ports at both Hull and
Middlesborough. The development of Ramsdale continued at such a rate that by
the early 1900s it had beaten off all competition from nearby
Scarborough as the holiday destination for the annual holidays of
millions of working class citizens. As a result of this, and the
light axle loading in force on the line due to coastal erosion
along part of its length in the early 1930s, the London &
North Eastern Railway decided to rebuild the station from its
original piecemeal development, to allow it to cope with the
heavy passenger traffic it was now experiencing. |
This work also included the construction of a deviation around
the worst of the coastal erosion and the substantial
strengthening of other areas. At the same time part of the old
track bed was used together with some nearby farmland to provide a
much enlarged shed which had previously been located on the new
carriage sidings. Whilst by this time the railway traffic to the
nearby port had all but ceased, the surrounding agricultural
landscape continued to provide much goods traffic in the form of
cattle, fruit and milk whilst the small fishing fleet required
the railway to transport machinery for its boats and fish to the
market. In addition the wartime addition of a heavy engineering
works initially for the production of military vehicles and ship
components some five miles down the line means the railway is
called upon to move the occasional unusual load. |
The station itself suffered some heavy damage during the war
after a barrage of fire from several German battleships off the
coast, which resulted in firstly the LNER and latterly British
Railways to carry out a further round of improvements after the
war to allow the station to handle the ever increasing demands
placed on it by summer holidaymakers enjoying there first
holidays in some instances since 1939. Part of these improvements
involved upgrading the line from York to allow it to accommodate
the heaviest locomotives on the now frequent through trains from
major cities and other regions. |
The model when completed will be operated on a sequence
designed to replicate the organised chaos found at such a station
on a typical summer Saturday in the early 1950s with long
distance trains and excursions from many parts of the country
comprising often motley collections of rolling stock being hauled
by whatever locomotives may be available at any one time.
Important regular through trains from London Kings Cross,
Newcastle and Glasgow hauled by pacific type locomotives will be
interspersed with the excursion and holiday trains, and local
stopping services to York, Hull and Whitby. |
The layout is presently under construction. When completed it
will feature four independently operated sections, fully
operational signaling, automated couplings, and a model of
Glaisdale Parish Church. |

12. STATE REPRESSION |
… Edward Ramsdale says that the Langa massacres shocked many Coloureds and Indians into the realization that they must stand together with their African brothers and sisters. A Relief Committee, organized by Coloureds and Indians, countered attempts to starve African workers in Langa into submission. Organizers, assisted in many cases by Indian
shopkeepers, would manage to purchase all the bread from delivery trucks before they entered the 'White areas', and this food would then be distributed amongst the Africans. Interview, Edward Ramsdale. |

PART FOUR WORKERS OF THE WORLD Chapter 14 Manchester and home news |
… The finance department was also important. It was headed up by Eddie Ramsdale, an accountant who
was totally reliable and strict with money - like Moses Kotane in that respect. He was outspoken and not afraid to confront people,
however important, if he disagreed with them. He was a staunch defender of the independence of the trade union movement, and
when he died in London SACTU lost a great comrade. Sikhumbuso Majeke (Xolile) then took over responsibility for the finance
department. |
… Later some of the constituent unions put up good resolutions about SACTU which were carried by congress. They urged the TUC to work with us, but the council officers continued to do little. These resolutions, though, made it easier for progressive unions to join in setting up a British Trade Union -SACTU Liaison Group. Eddie Ramsdale took the lead
in this from our side, and the group was able to push forward the work among affiliates. |
… The National Union of Seamen (NUS) came across SACTU by accident, but once he met us the union's general secretary Jim Slater was very helpful. He let us use NUS meeting rooms, introduced us to other British unions and - perhaps best of all -introduced us to the Danish Seamens' Union, who were wonderful people. Our treasurer, Eddie Ramsdale, was a member of the Association of Scientific, Technology and Managerial Staff (ASTMS) and, through his network, we got a lot of grassroots support. Large sums of money were raised and the good work continued after the merger into MSF. |
