Abstract
ABSTRACT Prior to Southampton’s municipal organisation of fire-fighting from its St. Mary’s Road, members of the waning British Volunteer Force operated a fire service there 1894–1909. This article examines their hand-written incident logbook. The study complements existing knowledge of fire-fighting in the provincial Victorian and Edwardian town, casting the Artillery Volunteers into a previously undocumented role as urban peacetime responders. Key findings include the limited fire-fighting technology and general lack of safety awareness or co-ordination to protect inhabitants from loss of life and property.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
