The economic diversity of rural England: Stylised fallacies and uncertain evidence

Article Abstract:

Debate about rural policy is often based on persistent presumptions about conditions in 'rural England', generally associated with economic decline, low incomes and a lack of services. Such generalizations are rarely justified for rural areas as a whole and are termed as 'stylised fallacies'. The evidence on a number of such fallacies like the economic impact of agriculture, depopulation, low incomes, rural labour markets, house prices and service provision is reviewed.

Exploring the current and future role of market towns in servicing their hinterlands: A case study of Alnwick in the North East of England

Article Abstract:

The current and future role of market towns in servicing their hinterlands is explored by using the case of the hinterland of Alnwick, a market town in the North East of England. The results suggest a mutual dependence between market town services and hinterland residents and that the continuation of this relationship depends on market towns taking advantage of demographic trends in rural areas.
