Book Description
In the febrile religious and political climate of late sixteenth-century England, when the grip of the Reformation was as yet fragile and insecure, and underground papism still perceived to be rife, Lancashire was felt by the Protestant authorities to be a sinister corner of superstition, lawlessness and popery. And it was around Pendle Hill, a sombre ridge that looms over the intersecting pastures, meadows and moorland of the Ribble Valley, that their suspicions took infamous shape. The arraignment of the Lancashire witches in the assizes of Lancaster during 1612 is England's most notorious witch-trial. The women who lived in the vicinity of Pendle, who were accused, convicted and hanged alongside the so-called 'Salmesbury Witches', were more than just wicked sorcerers whose malign incantations caused others harm. They were reputed to be part of a dense network of devilry and mischief that revealed itself as much in hidden celebration of the Mass as in malevolent magic. They had to be eliminated to set an example to others. In this remarkable and authoritative treatment, published to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the case of the Lancashire witches, Philip C Almond evokes all the fear, drama and paranoia of those volatile times: the bleak story of the storm over Pendle.

Book Description
The trees which line many of the streets in our towns and cities can often be regarded as part of a heritage landscape. Despite the difficult conditions of an urban environment, these trees may live for 100 years or more and represent ‘living history’ in the midst of our modern streetscapes. This is the first book on the history of Britain’s street trees and it gives a highly readable, authoritative and often amusing account of their story, from the tree-lined promenades of the seventeenth century to the majestic boulevards that grace some of our modern city centers. The impact of the Victorian street tree movement is examined, not only in the major cities but also in the rapidly developing suburbs that continued to expand through the twentieth century. There are fascinating descriptions of how street trees have helped to improve urban conditions in spa towns and seaside resorts and also in visionary initiatives such as the model villages, garden cities, garden suburbs and new towns. While much of the book focuses on the social and cultural history of our street trees, the last three chapters look at the practicalities of how these trees have been engineered into concrete landscapes. This includes the many threats to street trees over the years, such as pollution, conflict with urban infrastructure, pests and diseases and what is probably the greatest threat in recent times – the dramatic growth in car ownership. Street Trees in Britain will have particular appeal to those interested in heritage landscapes, urban history and the natural and built environment. Some of its themes were introduced in the author’s previous work, the widely acclaimed Trees in Towns and Cities: A History of British Urban Arboriculture.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annals of Southport and District: A Chronological History of North Meols, A. D. 1086 to 1886 "If any there be which are desirous to be strangers in theire owne soile and forrainers in theire owne citie - they may so continue and therein flatter themselves; for such I have not written these lines nor taken these paines," wrote Camden in the introduction to his Britannia. But I cannot think there are any in the beautiful town of Southport who "are desirous to be strangers in theire owne soile." The "Annals of Southport" were written with the conviction that few things so deeply and permanently influence the human head and heart as the historical associations of home. It was the fashion, with many persons, to sneer at the idea of North Meols having any history. I am of opinion that the following pages will show how mistaken those persons were. Hitherto no attempt has been made to publish the history of North Meols. Being out of the beaten track, none of the ancient writers went to the trouble of visiting this "bald "- the word Meols in the ancient Celtic means "bald " - place. Odd items in old documents show that the place was known before the Conquest, and probably other information will yet come to light. Before the manor was given to Roger de Poictou the tithes - or some of them - had been given to the monks of Lancaster. Some twenty years ago Mr. W. Norbury, in an article on the Peat Bogs of Lancashire, expressed an opinion that the district was inhabited long prior to the Celts coming here.
