KEY FINDINGS A.1 Overall trends in visits to English attractions 2003-2004 Whilst 2003 was the sunniest on record in England, beating the previous sunniest in 1995, 2004 saw the return of a more “traditional” English summer, with England experiencing the wettest summer since 1912, August was a particularly wet month. Parts of the UK such as the Midlands, Northern and Eastern England had double the usual amount of rainfall in August. The Met Office issued over 100 flash weather warnings across England in August 2004. The 16th August 2004 saw extensive localised flooding in Boscastle, Cornwall. A slight “bounce-back” in visitor numbers was to be expected in 2004 as the tourism industry recovered from the negative factors affecting travel in the first half of 2003 such as the Iraq war and SARS virus. The 2,099 England visitor attractions that provided visits figures for both 2003 and 2004 reported an average increase of +1% in 2004. Table A.1 England visit trends 2003-2004 - by attraction category (%) Category Attractions % 04/03 sample Country parks (87) +4 Farms (81) +2 Gardens (130) -6 Historic houses/castles (394) -1 Other historic properties (150) +3 Leisure/theme parks (38) -1 Museums/art galleries (670) +4 Steam/heritage railways (48) +3 Visitor/heritage centres (87) +2 Wildlife attractions/zoos (106) +1 Workplaces (99) -* Places of worship (92) +1 Other (117) -* England (2,099) +1 The majority of categories showed growth in 2004. However, visits to most attraction categories remained relatively stable in 2004 following some notable fluctuations between 2002 and 2003. VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2004 4 KEY FINDINGS Museums/art galleries, which represent around a third of all attractions, recorded a notable increase in visits (+4%) in 2004, following a year of stability in 2003. Growth in visits from the introduction of free entry to the previously paid entry national museums slowed as a result of the hot summer of 2003 (which also affected many other indoor attractions), but was reinvigorated in 2004. Country parks (+4%) also continued their 2002/3 recovery after their decline in 2001. Farm attractions (which had seen the largest increase in visits in 2003), continued their recovery, albeit at a slower rate (+2%) than 2003. Following their rise of +6% in 2003, driven primarily by the hot summer, visits to gardens declined by - 6% in 2004. Conversely, following recent declines, visits to places of worship (+1%) showed signs of stability in 2004. Table A.2 England visit trends 2003-2004 – by admission type (%) Admission Attractions Increase No change Decrease % 04/03 sample Free (755) 45 22 33 +3 Paid (1,344) 45 9 46 -* England (2,099) 45 14 41 +1 The increase in visits during 2004 was driven by free attractions (+3%), particularly museums/art galleries and, to a lesser extent, country parks and places of worship (see Table 2.3). Visits to paid attractions remained stable. Table A.3 England visit trends 2003-2004 - by geographic location (%) Geographic location Attractions % 04/03 sample Coastal (214) -1 Rural (980) -* Urban (905) +3 England (2,099) +1 The overall increase in visits during 2004 was driven by a recovery among urban attractions (+3%), which had experienced a slight decline (–1%) in 2003 following the hot summer. Following strong years of recovery since 2001, visits to rural attractions stabilised in 2004 (-*%). Visits to coastal attractions declined slightly (-1%) in 2004, following a slight increase due to the hot summer in 2003 (+1%). VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2004 5 KEY FINDINGS Table A.4 England visit trends 2003-2004 – by volume of visits (%) Volume of visits Attractions % 04/03 sample 20,000 or less (1037) -2 20,001-50,000 (396) +* 50,001-100,000 (251) +1 100,001-200,000 (189) -1 Over 200,000 (226) +2 England (2,099) +1 During 2004, the trend for visits to migrate away from smaller attractions to larger attractions has continued. Attractions with 20,000 visits or less reported a slight decline in visits (-2%), following two years in which their increase has been lower than at larger attractions. Conversely, attractions with over 200,000 visits recorded the highest level of increase (+2%) in 2004, driven by a recovery in visits to some of the major national free museums and art galleries following the hot summer of 2003. Table A.5 Overall visits trends 2003-2004 - by English Government Office Region (%) Region Attractions % 04/03 sample North East (120) +1 North West (190) +* Yorkshire/The Humber (167) +1 East Midlands (158) -1 West Midlands (183) +2 Eastern (335) +1 London (158) +6 South East (396) -1 South West (392) -2 England (2,099) +1 It should be noted that up to 2002, results were analysed by Regional Tourist Board areas. As the regional tourism organisations have been restructured within the Regional Development Agencies framework, the Government Office Regions (GOR), to which RDA areas correspond, have been used in 2003 and 2004 for regional analysis . VISITOR ATTRACTION TRENDS ENGLAND 2004 6 KEY FINDINGS Visits to London attractions recovered strongly in 2004 (+6%), more than compensating for the decline of -2% in 2003 (London was particularly affected by the summer heat of 2003). The West Midlands, second only behind London in terms of its representation of urban attractions, also increased slightly (+2%). Conversely, the South West (which benefited from the hot weather in 2003), experienced a slight decline in visits during 2004. Visits to each of the other GORs remained relatively stable in 2004. A.2 Overall trends in admission prices 2003-2004 Table A.6 Adult admission prices 2003-2004 (paid admission) – by category (%) Category Attractions Average adult charge % 04/03 Sample 2003 2004 Country parks (11) £4.01 £4.45 +11 Farms (50) £3.85 £4.21 +10 Gardens (91) £4.01 £4.26 +6 Historic houses/castles (332) £4.68 £4.93 +5 Other historic properties (102) £2.68 £2.91 +8 Leisure/theme parks (18) £9.37 £9.84 +5 Museums/art galleries (247) £3.01 £3.13 +4 Steam/heritage railways (40) £5.60 £6.40 +14 Visitor/heritage centres (26) £4.06 £4.26 +5 Wildlife attractions/zoos (69) £5.74 £6.01 +5 Workplaces (24) £4.04 £4.09 +1 Places of worship (8) £4.41 £4.73 +7 Other (54) £5.00 £5.11 +2 England (1,072) £4.17 £4.41 +6 Average adult admission charges in 2004 varied greatly amongst categories, ranging from £2.91 for other historic properties to £9.84 for leisure/theme parks.

  • Newsletter No. 74 Autumn 2008 Editorial
    NEWSLETTER NO. 74 AUTUMN 2008 EDITORIAL Welcome to the latest Newsletter; I hope you have had an enjoyable summer in spite of the dreadful weather, Due to a clash of dates I was unable to attend this year’s AIA Conference which was held in Wiltshire and I look forward to reading the report which will appear in Industrial Archaeology News. I am also looking forward to the forthcoming 2008-2009 Lecture Programme; full details are given on the separate sheet, meeting as usual on Saturday mornings at Claremont. In the past the Section has considered whether midweek evening meetings or Saturday afternoons would attract more members to join and attend but the general view from those who have expressed it, is that Saturday mornings are preferred. However please note that the 2009 AGM will be starting earlier at 10.30am. This is because we will have another local walk in the afternoon starting at 2pm and starting the AGM half an hour earlier gives a little more time for members’ contributions and lunch. I am sure that you will agree with me that our Lecture Secretary, Jane Ellis, has yet again organised an interesting and varied programme and I hope many of you will be able to attend at least a few lectures during the season. Robert Vickers will also lead a walk around Huddersfield on Sunday 10 May 2009, meeting at the Railway Station at 11am with a pub lunch. Let’s hope there is better weather for this than his walk around Bradford, which is reported on later in the Newsletter.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • Virtual Exhibition
    RAILEX 2021 Virtual Exhibition Kyle of Lochalsh, photo by Chris Nevard Risborough & District Model Railway Club Welcome to Railex 2021 It is disappointing that for the second year in a row, we are not able to hold Railex in the flesh so to speak. However, we hope this virtual show goes some way to compensate. In the best traditions of Railex past, we believe we have brought you a fine selection of layouts to view online. We feature many of the layouts that were booked for 2020 and 2021. Please see these as an appetiser as we intend to invite as many of these layouts as possible to the next couple of live Railex shows. In addition, this year we are featuring several home layouts of club members that never go on the exhibition circuit. As well as the usual list of Traders who traditionally attend our show, we have expanded the line-up to include other quality outlets for whom we don't normally have room. Please enjoy browsing amongst them. This year, as a first for us, we are hosting some demonstrations - some are prerecorded and can be viewed at any time and 4 will be live today with an opportunity for questions and answers afterwards - see the timetable on the Railex Show front page. Lockdown has reputedly attracted a large number of new followers to the hobby. If this is you, we hope you enjoy the section devoted to expanding your horizons and see what modern technology can do to enhance your pleasure. Finally, I hope you enjoy the show and we really look forward to welcoming you in person at Stoke Mandeville in 2022.

  • Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties for Those Actively Involved in Or Supporting the Preservation of London Buses, Coaches and Trolleybuses of the Past
    Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties For those actively involved in or supporting the preservation of London buses, coaches and trolleybuses of the past Here is a nice wintry shot of RT 1426, one of the Country area's Cravens-bodied examples, waiting to go to home to Windsor from Uxbridge, long ago, via the picturesque-sounding Iver Heath, George Green, Upton Lea and more mundane Wexham Road, Slough and Eton. I cannot speak for those places at the time the photograph was taken, but in more recent times it has been hard to see anything remotely rural, bucolic or delightful about any of them, and Upton Lea is nothing but a large and uninspiring housing estate on the edge of Slough. Life can be so disappointing at times! Photo by Michael Dryhurst. Newsletter 162 February 2020 Opening Lines First of all, many thanks to all those “Friends” who kindly sent us seasonal greetings at what is nowadays regarded as the “festive” season. These are of course warmly reciprocated. Thanks also to those many individuals who contribute to this monthly mayhem. All contributions are gratefully received and as many as possible are used. It matters not if you send a couple of lines or several pages, it all helps to keep us all in touch. I would also now ask vehicle owners to think about keeping us posted, especially in the case of those buses and coaches which rarely, if ever, appear in public. Many members like to know that these “ghost” buses still exist and are being cared for, or stored, or even under extensive restoration.
