    The Multiple Values of Nature

    The Multiple Values of Nature A Joint Meeting of the British Ecological Society Journal, People and Nature, and the Valuing Nature Programme. 2 – 3 March 2020, Bristol, UK Delegates’ Pre-symposium Information Pack #MVN20 www.britishecologicalsociety.org/events/multiple-values-nature ABOUT BRISTOL The home of Blackbeard, Brunel and Banksy, Bristol is one of the UK’s most richly historic and cultural cities. While its centre offers a huge array of heritage sites, cafes and bars, the city is also surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Somerset, Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. Bristol prides itself in supporting independent businesses, and with a great emphasis on sustainability and green ventures, is one of the most ethically and eco-minded UK destinations. Find more information on the Visit Bristol website. TRAVELLING TO BRISTOL Bristol offers visitors easy transport links into the city. By rail Bristol has two major railway stations, Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway. Both are serviced by Great Western Rail for travel from London and the South of England. Bristol Temple Meads offers direct routes from Wales, Scotland, Manchester and Birmingham. Although both stations are close to Bristol, Bristol Temple Meads is closest to the venue, so we would recommend travelling here. If you are travelling by Eurostar to the UK, London Paddington is just 15-minutes from St. Pancras International on the Hammersmith and City or Circle lines on the London Underground. The onward journey to Bristol from London Paddington is then less than two hours by train. For more information and to book your train tickets in advance for lower cost ticket use National Rail.

    Download: Who Was Brunel – Teaching Resource

    Who was Brunel? Robert Howlett (British, 1831–1858) - Metropolitan Museum of Art 'The man with the greatest originality of thought and power of execution, bold in his plans but right’. Daniel Gooch, 1859 Isambard Kingdom Brunel was born in Portsmouth, 9 April 1806. His father was Marc Isambard Brunel, a French engineer, and his English mother was Sophia Kingdom. His personal motto was 'En Avant' (Forward). Brunel learnt a lot from his father and worked for several years on the Thames Tunnel project as an assistant engineer under his father. It was only in 1831, when Brunel was 24 years old, that he took on the first project of his own – the Clifton Suspension Bridge. In his lifetime, Brunel constructed nearly 1,200 miles of rail; including tracks in Ireland, Italy and Bengal, with all the associated tunnels, bridges and roads. He took maritime engineering into another era and helped to create and inspire the innovative land and sea transport networks that carried the Industrial Revolution, not only around Britain but around the world, opening up global travel and communications. At only just over 5 feet tall, Brunel was worried he would not be taken seriously because of his height and often tried to appear taller by sitting up straight (especially when riding his horse) and by wearing a very tall hat! It is estimated that the hat was 8 inches in height. ‘My self-conceit and love of glory or rather approbation vie with each other which shall Govern me. The latter is so strong that even of a dark night riding home when I pass some unknown person who perhaps does not even look at me I catch myself trying to look big on my little pony…I often do the most silly useless things to appear to advantage before or attract the attention of those I shall never see again or whom I care nothing about.’ Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

RECOMMENDATION: Grant subject to Condition(s) AGENT: Alec French Architects APPLICANT: Bristol Museums Galleries And 27 Trenchard Street Archives Bristol M Shed BS1 5AN Wapping Road Bristol BS1 4RN The following plan is for illustrative purposes only, and cannot be guaranteed to be up to date. LOCATION PLAN: 25/01/16 11:51 Committee report Item no. 1 Development Control Committee B – 3 February 2016 Application No. 15/05486/F: Railway Siding Head Shunt Wapping Railway Wharf Bristol BS1 6DS BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY During the late 19th Century a series of Acts of Parliament led to the creation of railway tracks and transit sheds furnishing the length of the Quayside. Wapping wharf is the remains of this railway, which the Bristol Harbour Railway regularly run weekend steam journeys along. When Bristol Industrial Museum closed in 2007 to allow for the creation of M Shed, it resulted in the loss of workshop and garaging space for the Bristol Harbour Railway (BHR). Whilst M Shed has provided space for the garaging of two locomotives, there is no room for other equipment. To mitigate for this (and following a grant of temporary planning permission), a steel framed building was erected at the rear of the Guinness building in 2007. Subsequent to this, the structure was moved and re- erected, on a temporary planning permission, on land adjacent to A-Bond; the consent for which expires in 2018.
