Abstract

The country house has long been an important part of British cultural heritage, beloved not just for its beautiful architecture, furniture, and paintings, but also a means to reconnect with the past and the ways in which families and their households once lived. With Technology in the Country House, Marilyn Palmer and Ian West explore how new technologies began to change country houses and the lives of the families within them beginning in the nineteenth century. A wave of improvements promised better water supplies, flushing toilets, central heating, and communication by bells and then telephones. Country houses, however, were often too far from urban centers to take advantage of centralized resources and so were obliged to set up their own systems if they wanted any of these services to improve the comfort of daily living. Some landowners chose to do this, while others did not, and this book examines the motivations for their decisions

Abstract

Om het munitietekort van het Britse leger te helpen oplossen, maakten vierduizend Belgen tussen 1916 en 1919 granaten in een fabriek in Birtley, Noord-Engeland. Het waren haast allemaal afgekeurde soldaten en vluchtelingen. Met hun gezinnen erbij waren ze met zesduizend. Voor hen werd naast de fabriek een compleet Belgisch barakkendorp gebouwd : Elisabethville. De straatnamen waren er Belgisch, net als het ziekenhuis, de kerk, de begraafplaats en de school. Er waren ook Belgische winkels, muziekverenigingen, toneelkringen en sportclubs. Na de oorlog verdwenen de Belgen uit Birtley even snel als ze waren gekomen. Her verhaal van Birtley-Elisabethville en de Birtley Belgians werd nog nooit zo boeiend en gedetailleerd verteld als door Dirk Musschoot in "Belgen maken bommen".
