Birmingham, Warwickshire: Pub Blacklist (1903-1906)

In order to enforce the 1902 Sale of Liquor to Habitual Drunkard’s Licensing Act, the Watch Committee of the City of Birmingham provided licensed liquor sellers and clubs with photos and descriptions of people deemed “habitual drunkards,” who were not to be sold liquor. The 82 persons in the book were convicted of drunkenness between 1903 and 1906, typically at the Birmingham City Police Court.

Each entry includes both a picture (usually with a front and profile view) and a description with such details as:

  • name and alias
  • residence
  • place of Employment
  • age
  • physical description, including hair, eyes, complexion, shape of face, and scars or marks
  • profession
  • date and nature of conviction and sentence

The pages are populated with the likes of Richard Flemming, known as “Dirty Dick” and “Dick the Devil,” and Alice Tatlow, whose tattoos included “Prince of Wales Feathers back right hand; heart, clasped hands, true love K.B. back justify arm.” They work at professions ranging from bedstead polishers and hawkers to grease merchant and tube drawer, as well as one street performer who “plays tin whistle outside Licensed Houses.”

There are no entries under the surnames Ramsdale, Ramsdal(l), Ramsdel(l) or Ramsdaille.

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).

See Peter Sarstedt sing Rosie Ramsdale on YouTube
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.

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.

... 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.
