Margaret Bird, currently working on the four volumes of commentary and analysis\u00a0to be entitled\u00a0Mary Hardy and her World<\/em>, has won a national award for research\u00a0which will feature in those volumes.<\/p>\n

Her 15,000-word study “Supplying the beer” has been judged the overall winner in the long-articles category by the British Association for Local History (BALH). It originally appeared in The Glaven Historian<\/em>, the journal of the Blakeney Area Historical Society<\/a> (no. 14 (2014), pp. 2\u201329).<\/p>\n

It has also\u00a0been\u00a0published\u00a0in an abridged form in the BALH’s own journal, The Local Historian<\/a><\/em>, in October 2015 (vol. 45, no. 4, pp. 295\u2013311); there was however room for only three of the original article’s 28 illustrations.<\/p>\n

It can be downloaded<\/a> from the BALH website free of charge.<\/p>\n

“A most interesting and innovative article”<\/h3>\n

Dr Alan Crosby, editor of The Local Historian<\/em>, told the 100-strong audience at the BALH’s annual Local History Day that the judges\u00a0bore a number of factors in mind when compiling the list of contenders for the research and publication awards, which have been granted annually since 1991.<\/p>\n

These included the quality of the writing, the diversity of the sources and the range and clarity of the citations and references. The\u00a0judges were also looking for the ability to set local material\u00a0in a wider context. They considered Margaret Bird’s treatment of distribution by road, “Supplying the beer: life on the road in late-18th-century Norfolk”, to be “a most interesting and innovative article”.<\/p>\n

Alan Crosby saw\u00a0the principal sources, the diaries of Mary Hardy and Henry Raven, as\u00a0highly unusual in their precision. Historians of that period were aware that goods and produce were carried to market on a regular basis, and goods flowed back into the villages, but\u00a0through the diarists’ eyes we are presented with a wealth of detail. We learn about the draymen and their horses; also about the retail outlets they supplied. Some of the public houses\u00a0are still in business and can be sampled today.<\/p>\n

The winner of the BALH short-articles category in 2015 was James H. Thomas for his study ‘County, commerce and contacts: Hampshire and the East India Company in the eighteenth century’.
