  • A Lunchtime Stroll in Leeds City Centre
    2 kilometres / 30 minutes to 1 hour. Accessibility – All this route is on pavements and avoids steps. A lunchtime stroll in Leeds City Centre There are numerous bridges and river crossings in Leeds. However, there is only one referred to affectionately as “Leeds Bridge”. This is where our walk starts. There has been some form of crossing here since the middle ages. The bridge you see today was built out of cast iron in the early 1870's. In 1888 the bridge was witness to a world first. The “Father of Cinematography”, Louis Le Prince, shot what is considered to be the world’s earliest moving pictures from the bridge. © It's No Game (cc-by-sa/2.0) Walk across Leeds Bridge and take a right along Dock Street. Dock Street began its life as a commercial entity in the 1800's. Then, during the Industrial Revolution, the canal network provided the catalyst for the city's growth. As its name suggests, boats used to dock along Dock Street. A deep dock allowed the loading and unloading of barges into warehouses. Today Dock Street still looks familiar, but the warehouses have become housing and business spaces. Converted and conserved in the 1980's. Continuing along Dock Street you will pass Centenary Bridge. This bridge was built in 1993 to celebrate 100 years since Leeds was granted city status. It also created better pedestrian access across the Aire. Dock Street c. 1930 By kind permission of Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Continue along Dock Street and you will come to Brewery Wharf.

The Institute of Hydrology's Quasar water quality model is examined as a possible basis to provide the underlying model structure. A solution based on combining the KW flow routing model equation, used within the RFFS, with the Quasar water quality equations is proposed. Incorporation of a new model within the RFFS is made straightforward through the adoption of a generic model algorithm interface in the original design of the RFFS's Information Control Algorithm, responsible for coordinating forecast construction in real-time. The task of developing a water quality Model Algorithm is pursued and significant progress made. Problems with the code structure of the pre-existing Quasar model are identified and work undertaken to create a "streamlined" version suitable for real-time use as an RFFS Model Algorithm. Work on the coding is sufficiently advanced to confirm the functional feasibility of extending RFFS to make water quality forecasts. The success of a water quality forecasting system depends, in addition to the modelling environment, on both the suitability of the model structure and the data available to support calibration and operational implementation.

It was my good fortune that in the writing of the thesis, colleagues became friends. In particular, my supervisor Dudley Baines provided insights both into railway operation and analysis. Mary Morgan as my second supervisor provided a critical review of early drafts which both built confidence and demolished long cherished ideas. To them both I owe a great deal.

  • PLANET YORKSHIRE Exhibition Guide - Please Return After Use

From the series Now You See Them Soon You Won’t, Graves Art Gallery, Sheffield, 1978. Following this exhibition Peter Mitchell resigned from his job and took a year out to concentrate on his photography, resulting in the groundbreaking 1979 exhibition A New Refutation of the Viking 4 Space Mission. A poster for the exhibition can be seen in display case no. 4. The caption from the A New Refutation of the Viking 4 Space Mission catalogue reads, “Keith and Sandra run a cosy pub. There was a pnucky postcard on the wall showing two well-endowed females having their foto taken. One girl says, “is he going to focus?” and her friend replies (looking horrified), “I hope not.” I thought it funny.” Scott, Dean, Neil & Gaudy the dog. Sunday 25 June 78. 2p.m. Westmorland Road, Sheffield. From the series Now You See Them Soon You Won’t, Graves Art Gallery, Sheffield, 1978. The caption from theA New Refutation of the Viking 4 Space Mission catalogue reads, “These aren’t the notorious Park Hill Flats but it is Scott, Dean and Neil (sounding remarkably like the V4 Space Mission Team), sitting outside Scott’s house.” The flats in the background are the Kelvin Flats, constructed in the Upperthrope area of Sheffield in 1967. These were a massive and radical housing development and, like the Quarry Hill Flats in Leeds (that formed the subject of one of Mitchell’s major bodies of work in the 1970s) enjoyed a strong community spirit despite its numerous social problems.

  • 'A Study of the Suitability of Callow for Reclamation' By
    'A STUDY OF THE SUITABILITY OF CALLOW FOR RECLAMATION' BY LILLIAN MARY STUART HARRISON A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. DEPARTMENT OF MINERAL RESOURCES ENGINEERING IMPERIAL COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON ' OCTOBER I9#f ABSTRACT The purpose of this project was to investigate the suitability of callow (calcareous clay overburden arising from the excavation of Oxford Clay) as a growing medium in reclamation schemes. Its abundance and relative "cheapness" means that it is an ideal top-soil replacement material, if it could be proved to be of benefit to reclamation schemes, Samples of the callow were analysed in the laboratory for nutrient status, pH, water-relationships, cation exchange capacities and other soil-related variables. A series of sites was established so that natural succession on callow could be studied, to investigate whether natural colonisation may provide clues as to the suitability of certain species for reclamation. Field and greenhouse trials were carried out on the callow, to investigate the best types of agricultural uses and fertiliser regimes for use with callow as a growing medium, A variety of grasses, legumes, herbs, shrubs and trees colonise the callow when it is left to natural succession. Natural succession, analysed by ordination techniques could not be related to any of the measured soil-related variables. The callow was found to be deficient in nitrates and phosphates. Growth trial results confirmed these findings. A variety of grass seed mixes with or without legumes can be established on the callow, once nutrient deficiencies are corrected.

The Report may include any topics that they consider to be relevant to the impact of the development on their area as a means by which their existing body of knowledge and evidence on local issues can be fully and robustly reported to the Commission. 1.4 The Advice Note indicates that topics addressed in the LIR may include: • Site description and surroundings/location • Details of the proposal • Relevant
