both the pope and the Benedictine Order to wrestle control over convents and their resources from the Roman urban elite, this process also allowed the nuns to claim a privileged relationship with the papacy (Mary Harvey Donyo, ‘Roman women: female religious, the papacy, and a growing Dominican order’, Speculum, 97 (2022), 1040–72). Rachel Delman, finally, shows that the English town of Stamford also knew a ‘prominent female culture’ of religiosity in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Taking the powerful noblewoman Margaret Beaufort (mother of King Henry VII) as a starting point, Delman exposes a vibrant network of rich urban women that oscillated between the town of Stamford and Beaufort’s household at Collyweston in Northamptonshire. Lady Beaufort functioned as a conduit within this network, as did the guild of St Katherine and other urban anchoresses in Stamford (Rachel Delman, ‘The vowesses, the anchoresses and the aldermen’s wives: Lady Margaret Beaufort and the devout society of late medieval Stamford’, Urban History, 49 (2022), 248–64).

In September 1966, a meeting in Leicester, described as a ‘round table’, was arranged by Dr H.J. Dyos. It was prompted by a groundswell of interest in cities and urban development, both historical and contemporary, and was multidisciplinary in character. Invitations were sent to distinguished academic historians, early career lecturers and a few doctoral students, one of whom was Mr R.J. Morris. He had recently (1965) completed a BA degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics whilst at Keble College, Oxford and had embarked on a doctorate supervised jointly by two distinguished economic historians, Professor H.J. Habakkuk (Nuffield College) and medievalist, Professor Maurice Beresford (Leeds). Bob’s topic was the ‘Organization and aims of the principal secular voluntary organizations of the Leeds middle class 1830–51’ (1971). A few years before, in 1963, Jim Dyos had initiated a series of Urban History Newsletters which informed the direction of scholarly travel, but it was the Study of Urban History (1968), as the subsequent book of the round table proceedings was entitled, that set out agendas for understanding the range, scope and nature of urban historical scholarship. Bob Morris was present in Leicester, therefore, at an embryonic stage in the development of urban history. Consistent with the tone of that meeting, Bob’s interdisciplinary engagement with the histories of towns and cities endured throughout his life. Robert John Morris (always Bob) was born in wartime Sheffield, the son of Barbara Joan (née Aston) and George Ernest Morris. His father was a teacher first in Wakefield and then in Leeds (1943–54), and it was while the family lived in Guiseley (north-west Leeds) during years of post-war rationing that Bob, encouraged by his father, developed an interest in allotments. The family moved to Middlesbrough when Bob’s father was appointed headmaster at the local grammar school. Bob attended the other Middlesbrough grammar school, Acklam Hall, which he left in 1962 for Oxford to begin his undergraduate studies. During a summer vacation in 1966 and while undertaking excavations at the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy in North Yorkshire, Bob met Barbara McConnell from Belfast. Their shared historical, archaeological and cartographic interests were evident and the following year they undertook an intrepid journey from Aberystwyth to Athens in a mini-van studying Byzantine monasteries in former Yugoslavia en route. The origins of Bob’s Irish research interests are not difficult to detect. They were married in Ireland in 1967. The following year, Bob was appointed to a lectureship at Edinburgh University in the newly created

However, the financial aspects of the Fire and specifically the Corporation’s defaulting on its debt have not been fully examined yet. The late seventeenth century is considered to be a period in which sovereigns, city-states and others experimented with new instruments of public credit to support their strategies of borrowing, but as the authors show, the Corporation drew on well-established instruments, private, short-term, interest-bearing deposits, to meet the financial challenges of rebuilding their part of the City. The Great Fire placed a heavy burden on the Corporation already known for its deep financial troubles. Because it did not adapt to new financial opportunities and relied on its reputation based on meeting repayments, the financial consequences for this urban institution were dramatic.

Dublin at the turn of the nineteenth century had limited permanent employment opportunities compared to Belfast, and for poor families financial instability manifested in limited life expectancy. This article focuses on young adult cohorts in Dublin city. By cross-referencing names and addresses from death records with census, court and prison records, it casts new light on the lives of the city's most disadvantaged people. It applies a digital humanities framework and uses historical Geographical Information Systems to explore patterns in cause of death, and to reveal more about household income, casual labour, women's work and community networks. We contend that the cautions about the occlusion of commercial sex work in historical data should be extended to the lowest strata of the working classes more generally and that it is only through granular analyses that the fine lines between poverty and destitution can emerge.

This article explores and complicates notions of public and private urban mobility through the exploration of one site of transport, the Kowloon railway terminus in Hung Hom, Hong Kong. It considers the question: how did the conflicts and tensions between public and private forms of mobility affect policies for the urban environment in colonial Hong Kong? This article explores the Hung Hom railway terminus and its tensions and interactions with automobility and other forms of transport, most pertinently the bus network. Hong Kong's imperial and colonial context further throws into question seemingly straightforward divisions of public and private mobility.

The ordinary city of Bir al-Saba’, situated within an urban world stretched across southern Palestine, has a story to tell, of dramatic spatiotemporal transformations, presence and absence, capture and resilience. Such connected urban history is profoundly shaped through the world-making relations of those who lived and dwelt within the always-becoming material and ideational spatial geography of the Naqab. Research gathered from diverse archival sources and interview data offers insight into the voices, actions and imaginaries of the Saba'awi as they worked the shifting assemblages of this landscape between 1840 and 1936, making Bir al-Saba’ a thick multiscalar cosmopolitan place of meaning and opportunity.
Bir al-Saba’这座普通的城市位于巴勒斯坦南部的一个城市世界中，它有一个故事要讲，讲述了戏剧性的时空转换、存在与不存在、捕捉与恢复。这种相互联系的城市历史是通过那些生活和居住在纳卡布不断发展的物质和思想空间地理中的人之间的创造世界的关系而深刻塑造的。从不同的档案来源和采访数据中收集的研究提供了对萨巴维人的声音、行动和想象的深入了解，他们在1840年至1936年间处理了这一景观的不断变化的组合，使Bir al-Saba成为一个“意义和机会的多尺度世界性地方”。

Medieval Bruges was an important international economic hub in the late Middle Ages. Similar to other luxury goods, manuscripts produced in Bruges were intended for both local and international audiences. This article scrutinizes the specific urban context of Bruges as a multilingual contact zone focusing on quantitative data of extant manuscripts and case-studies of professional and non-professional book production. The dominance of francophone manuscripts in a Dutch-speaking town is noteworthy and called for an actively bilingual community of book professionals. Furthermore, the social competition of locally embedded social groups (court, merchants, craft guilds) influenced language choice as well. Both ‘official’ production of books for trade by professional writers and librarians, and the ‘private’ multilingual literary accomplishments of Bruges city-dwellers, illustrate the multilingual dynamics of urban contacts in Bruges.
