  • DEVONSIRE BUILDINGS and DEVONSHIRE PLACE
    The following article presents the historical notes produced by Mrs Connie Smith, a long time resident of Devonshire Buildings, who died in 2013. She writes about Devonshire Buildings and Devonshire Place, plus a number of other places that bear the name Devonshire. The notes have been edited only to the extent of format and the occasional spelling error. DEVONSHIRE BUILDINGS and DEVONSHIRE PLACE, in Widcombe & Lyncombe Parish, plus seven other constructions with the name of Devonshire. Since the appearance of Devonshire Place and Devonshire Buildings at the top of Bear F1at, Lyncombe, several other properties have also acquired the Devonshire appendage. These are:- Devonshire Cottage, Devonshire House, Devonshire Terrace, and Place, Devonshire Lodge, Devonshire Arms public house, and Devonshire Tunnel of the extinct Somerset & Dorset Rlwy. Devonshire Buildings and Devonshire Place were the first to be built and to understand how they came on to the suburban scene a little background is helpful, as follows:- During the last quarter of the l8th century and the beginning of the 19th a new road was pushed through Widcombe & Lyncombe Parish by the Bath Turnpike Trust. Built in two sections, which accounts for the dual names of Wells Road and Wellsway, today it is the A367 which stretches from Bath to the south and west, via. Radstock. The first section near to the city came circa 1772 and was called Wells Road. It successfully overcame the very steep incline up Beechen Cliff via the old Holloway by cutting am easier route for vehicles up the slope of Beechen Cliff from the elderly bridge of St.

His first employment was as a land surveyor (1). Then in 1793 he became both, canal surveyor (2), and engineer, (3) to the Somerset Coal Canal (SCC). These had guaranteed him a regular, and known, income. But this suddenly changed, when he was successively dismissed, first as surveyor, then as engineer, in 1799. He now had to find some other means of supporting himself, and the geological revelations, which he knew were so important, that he had uncovered in Somerset. In the mid-1790s, he had done some land drainage and irrigation work (4), for the chairman of the SCC, and immediately after his dismissals, was able to generate an adequate living from such work around Bath, during a period of very high rainfall.

  • VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE and ECONOMIC IMPACT a Report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004
    VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE AND ECONOMIC IMPACT A report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004 Introduction 1 Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes MBE opened the Viking Coastal Trail, a 28-mile multi-purpose cycle route around Thanet, on Sunday 10 June 2001. Total investment so far in design, construction and marketing is about £500,000 divided roughly equally between the County and District Councils 2 The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s “No. 1 cycle route”; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s ‘No. 1 Cycle Route’; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Trail website ( www.vikingcoastaltrail.co.uk ) received more than 10,000 ‘hits’ in 2003 and it is clear from observation and from anecdotal evidence that there are many more cyclists in Thanet than there were before 2001. Two separate studies have been carried out, as follows: • Babtie – use of the Trail, with data from automatic bicycle counters at Ramsgate and Westgate • Canterbury Christ Church University College – economic impact, with data from interviews with cyclists using the Trail and a survey of businesses along it. 3 The main findings from these studies are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs. Use of the Trail 4 Automatic bicycle counters – electro-magnetic devices that continuously count bicycles passing over them – were installed at Ramsgate and Westgate in June 2001. There are limitations on where the equipment can be placed, and the two locations are not necessarily the busiest on the Viking Coastal Trail, but the counters have been counting for 24 hours a day 365 days a year and a great deal of data is now available.
