History and the high street 1750s to 2030s: Uppingham reimagined

由于我申请的这个项目是一个CDA，项目的大部分重点已经确定下来了，但我仍然有足够的机会进一步发展这个项目。例如，我觉得这个项目最重要的元素是乌平汉人民的历史，以及政策是如何影响他们的。为了探讨这一点，我需要查阅各种资料来源，包括人口普查和报纸，以及照片和信件。口述历史在这个项目中将是重要的，在讨论如何为未来改进Uppingham时将是有用的。由于我没有很多使用和收集口述历史的经验，我将参加培训课程并与我的主管合作，以确保我正确地完成这项工作。该镇历史上的具体事件对于了解该镇的发展将是重要的。其中包括该镇的伤寒疫情，可以与目前的新冠肺炎大流行相提并论。例如奈杰尔·理查森的《1875年至1877年的乌平汉伤寒爆发：公共卫生改革中的农村案例研究》和《乌平汉的伤寒：处于危机中的维多利亚城镇和学校的分析》，《1875-77》将有助于这一点。更多的一般社会和经济史也将在这个项目中使用，将乌平汉姆置于该国其他地区的背景中。例如马丁·道顿的《财富和福利：英国1851-1951年的经济学史和社会史》，以及FML Thompson的全卷《英国剑桥社会史，1750-1950》。在展望乌平汉和全国商业街的未来时，科尔·莫勒纳、保罗·诺克斯和海克·梅耶尔等历史学家将是重要的。

As the project that I am applying for is a CDA, much of the focus of the project is already set in stone.However, there is still ample opportunity for me to develop this project further. For example, I feel thatthe most important element of this project is the history of the people of Uppingham, and how policy hasaffected them. In order to explore this, I will need to consult a variety of sources including the census andnewspapers, as well as photographs and letters. Oral history will be important in this project and will beof use when discussing how Uppingham can be improved for the future. As I do not have a lot ofexperience using and collecting oral histories, I will attend training courses and work with my supervisorto ensure that I undertake this correctly.Specific events in the town's history will be important in understanding the development of the town.This includes the town's Typhoid outbreaks, which could be compared to the current Covid-19 pandemic.Works such as Nigel Richardson's 'The Uppingham Typhoid Outbreaks of 1875 -1877: A Rural Case-Studyin Public Health Reform' and 'Typhoid in Uppingham: Analysis of a Victorian Town and School in Crisis,1875-77' will help with this.More general social and economic histories will also be of use in this project to place Uppingham in thecontext of the rest of the country. Examples include Martin Daunton's 'Wealth and Welfare: An Economicand Social History of Britain 1851-1951' and all volumes of 'The Cambridge Social History of Britain,1750-1950' by FML Thompson. When looking towards the future of Uppingham and the high streetnationally, historians like Cor Molenaar, Paul Knox and Heike Mayer will be important.
