The map tells me the following information, Brickyard gone by 1950. The same information can be found in our site visit as now it’s a nature reserve. Also tells me that the village is been split which we can see the Rector bridge and the Lock 15 is built but gone shut down.
The historian uses the source so that they can see how it has affected the landscape. Also, see the growth of the village and the roads improving.
Whittaker made the “Whittaker” source. It was made in the year 1874 and 1879. The source is primary because it’s at that time when he lists the worker’s name. The purpose of the source is showing the lists of the workers and the job they do. Also, it’s his job to do this kind of stuff which he can earn money. The source is reliable because of the dates which are from the time and its primary and Whittaker which visited ad alive when he record of who lived in Stoke Bruerne and their job. He is also a professional. The strengths of this source are its 2 documents that are been compared which shows the changes of the jobs and their business. It’s also detailed and its facts, not opinion. But the weaknesses are that he might miss some information because of 5 year gap and of not the exact dates. We can’t understand because of brief notes and shorthanded writing. The source was useful for answering question one, it’s because its shows about George Savage and their individual stories that change Stoke Bruerne.
The Whittaker tells me the following information; George Savage owned the Navigation Inn in 1874 then got shut down in 1879 because of the impact of the trains. The same information can be found in our site visit in Stoke Bruerne. Also, in 1879, Woodward family owned Boat Inn and shows owned since 1877.
The historian uses the source so that they would know about family history and their jobs. Also, how the transport changes people’s business and their lives.
The Canal Company made the “Canal Co’ Minutes” source. It was made in 10th March 1835 and 7th August 1851. The source is primary because it’s at that time when they wrote this about building a new lock. The purpose of the source is to keep records of what happen to the canal. The source is reliable because of the dates which are from the time and its primary and the Company which is where they put all the records of what happen in the canal. The strengths of the source are the dates which are from the time and its official records and the weakness is that the secretary might miss heard it and write something else. The source was useful for answering question one, it’s because its shows us of what happen or what did they do to improve the canal.
The Canal Co’ Minutes tells me the following information, in 1851, Lock 14 got shut down. But now it just a display and canal filled in there. The same information can be found in our site visit in Stoke Bruerne. As the source match in their content, I judge the reliable.
The historian uses the source because they want to know what the people have done to the canal of which is traffic and they want it to speed things up. For example, if someone delivers some vegetables then its traffic, the vegetables will be rotten.
David Blagrove made the “Canal Guide” source. It was made in the year of 1971. The source is secondary because its written based in the primary evidence. The purpose of the source is to educate us about the canal or help us to learn more about the canal. The source is reliable because he is an author and a professional historian that wants us to be educated. In this source, there are no strengths but there are weaknesses. Its detail which is all about the canal construction and we can’t understand the language which is full of canal terms. The source was not useful for answering question one, it’s because its shows nothing about changing before 1805 or this present day.
The Canal Guide tells me about the Rector Viccar’s Bridge. The same information can be found in our site visit in Stoke Bruerne which we saw and been told by Mr Wilson. As the source match in their content, I judge the reliable.
The shop and the museum made the “Postcards” source. It was made in the summer of the year 2004. The source is primary because it’s a photo which we can see and the brightness of it. The purpose of the source is to make the tourists bought it and send it to their family/friends so that to see what it’s like in Stoke Bruerne. Also, the purpose of it is to get well known. The source is not reliable because this source is only about money which is their aimed. The strengths of the source are it shows the canal and its primary. But the weakness is it’s all about lies of the people. The source was not useful for answering question one, it’s because it didn’t tells us about the transport changes and it just all about business. The Postcards shows us the two locks which we saw in our site visit in Stoke Bruerne.
The Postcards tells me about what the village look like. We saw the same when we visit in Stoke Bruerne. But in the postcard it only shows good stuff about the village, it’s because what they want is money. So, I judge the source not reliable.
The historian uses the source as evidence of tourism in the village. And the village represent in the Postcards in pretty, perfect and it’s best because people buy beautiful stuff.
