  • Floating Water-Plantain)
    Shropshire Biodiversity Action Plan Luronium natans (Floating Water-plantain) This plan is in need of review, it is hoped that a review will be undertaken in 2009. Floating Water-plantain occurs in a range of freshwater situations but thrives best in open areas with a moderate degree of disturbance, where the growth of emergent vegetation is held in check. Populations of this species can fluctuate greatly in size. In what is believed to be its core natural habitat in the lakes of Snowdonia and mid Wales, this species favours slightly acidic lakes with low nutrient levels (Preston C.D. 1994) that restrict the growth of other plants. From these sites it may have spread eastwards via the canal system (fed by Welsh rivers) and canal sites account for approximately half of the national records (UKBAP 1995); in canal sites this species tends to grow in neutral or slightly basic mesotrophic water (Preston C.D. 1994). In Shropshire, canal is one of three different freshwater situations where it has been found. It was first found in canal (Llangollen canal near Colemere) in 1880. It is now found, rarely, in the Montgomery Canal on the English side of the Welsh border but has not been recorded there since 1994, when its distribution appears to have diminished to one site only (Aston Locks SSSI); there are several older more widespread records (1880 until the 1980s) and the canal, on the Welsh side, is a key site for this species, such that the canal in Wales has been designated a SAC (it is also an SSSI).

  • Lea Valley Walk Section 5 (Three Mills to Limehouse Basin)
    Lea Valley Walk To reach the start from Bromley-by-Bow station (District Line): Turn Section 5 (Three Mills to Limehouse Basin) left out of the station and at once go under the underpass and come up to pavement level on the far side of the main road. Go right to walk north, then Version 3 : July 2011 turn right down Three Mill Lane. Directions: Having come up the towpath ramp onto Three Mill Lane, turn left to cross the canal, and then turn right down another towpath ramp. There was a mill here in Saxon times, in fact at one stage four mills were Start: Three Mills (TQ382828) here, driven by sea and river water which came up the Lea at high tide. The clock tower dates from about 1750. The mills produced flour until the mid Station: Bromley-by-Bow 1700’s, after which the owners became involved in the manufacture of gin, Finish: Limehouse Basin (TQ362807) calling themselves “millers and malt distillers”. The House Mill is open to visitors on Sunday afternoons in summer (admission fee). The former Station: Limehouse DLR Station Victorian bottling plant (at the far end of the cobbled street) is now a film studio, the first “Big Brother” set was alongside to the east. Distance: 2 miles (3.2 km) Join the towpath again, this time on the other side of the canal. Water is on both sides of the towpath. Go under the London-Southend railway bridge Introduction: Three Mills to Limehouse Basin became Section 5 of the Lea and pass the closed footbridge which crosses over the tidal River Lea to the Valley Walk in July 2011.

  • Walsall Tour Notes 1993
    Walsall Tour Notes 1993 The West Midlands Group organised a walk that followed the Wyrley & Essington Canal from Walsall to Sneyd and used the newly re-opened passenger route from Bloxwich North to visit Churchbridge Railway interchange basin and the now demolished South Staffordshire Railway House near there, These notes reflect a time prior to the railway privatisation, when Regional Railways had charge of local services and Intercity operated the express trains in this region. Members from the East Midlands, West Midlands and North West groups attended. Lunch was arranged at the public house built beside the infilled locks at Sneyd. Tour leader ; Ray Shill. Index 2 – 18 Morning Walk 19 – 30 Afternoon Walk 31 – 34 Images of Walk Area 1 2 3 The walk begins at Walsall Station and the group assembles in the Saddler Centre. It is a modern brick and concrete structure, a product of 1970's architecture. Many will probably remember the old station, its wooden circular booking hall and frontage to Park Street. Some may even recall the transition, in 1978, when the old booking office was demolished to leave a gaping hole above the tracks below. In this period the station entrance was effected from Station Street across a temporary footbridge to an equally temporary booking office on the island platform. Then there was only one passenger service. Electric units, usually 304s, trundled from New Street to Walsall and back. Their diagram's might have involved exotic places such as Bletchley or Manchester, but for Walsall folk the train only went to Birmingham. If they wanted anywhere else it was simply change at Brummagen.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

  • The Navigation of the River Lee (1190 – 1790)
    Edmonton Hundred Historical Society Occasional Paper New Series No. 36 by J.G.L.Burnby and M.Parker. Published 1978 Added to the site by kind permission of Mr Michael Parker THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER LEE (1190 – 1790) PREFACE As the men of the river frequently pointed out the Lee is one of the "great rivers of the realm", and it is only fitting that its history should be traced; indeed it is surprising that the task has not been carried out far earlier than this. Regretfully the story of its busiest period in the days of post-canalisation has had to be left to another, later Occasional Paper. The spelling of the name of the river has varied over the centuries. In 1190 it was referred to as "the water of Lin", in the fourteenth century as "La Leye", the cartographer Saxton seems to have been the first to introduce "Lea" to map-makers in 1576, in the eighteenth century it was not infrequently called the "Ware River" but the commonest spelling would seem to be "Lee" and it is to this which we have decided to adhere. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to thank the London Borough of Haringey Libraries panel for their financial assistance in the publication of this paper. Our gratitude also goes to the Marquess of Salisbury for granting permission to reproduce the maps held in the Hatfield House Collection. A number of people have most generously helped us in the production of this paper. Mrs.H.Baker has with her usual expertise drawn the map of the lower reaches of the river, and Mr.Neil Clements is responsible for the charming reproductions of the prints of the Powder Mill at Waltham Abbey and the river at Ware.
