Please use the booking form enclosed . YOU BE THE JUDGE! An irregular short course for the autumn Have you ever wondered what really goes on inside a court room? Now is your chance to find out. Anyone can observe the courts in action by simply visiting a courthouse and sitting in the public gallery. There is no charge for this – but there is also no guidance or help in understanding what might be going on. If you would like to understand more about the courts in the UK, then come to Bedern Hall on Tuesday afternoon at 2.00pm on 18th November. Aileen Bloomer (currently a magistrate on the York & Selby Bench) will talk about a typical day in a magistrates’ court and after discussing some of issues around sentencing, will invite you to be the judge. The cost for this afternoon session will be £5.00 and will include tea/coffee. As a follow-up for those who are interested, and at no charge at all, it will be possible to visit the magistrates court and observe a sitting on either Friday 21 November or Monday 24 November with a magistrate to help you make sense of what is happening. If you arrive at 9.00am, then you will be shown around the Magistrates Court building (including the cells if possible but this cannot be guaranteed) before settling down to observe the morning sitting which starts at 10.00am and usually concludes at about 1.00pm. If you do not want to see round the court building, then please make sure that you arrive at 9.45am at the latest. There are no lifts for public use in the courthouse and going round the whole building will involve stairs – indeed, getting in to the courthouse involves stairs. These follow up visits will be limited to 10 people maximum on each day so please indicate your preferred date on the booking form – and if you are interested in coming and able to be flexible about the date, that would be greatly appreciated. REMINDER: There are a few places left for the repeats of Alison Sinclair’s walks around York. ‘Roman to Restoration’ takes place on 11 th September and ‘Restoration to Modern’ on 25 th , both starting at 2.00pm. Anyone who wishes to come should contact the PLACE Office by 5th September at the latest.

Although the bluebells were Trust (right). past their best, many other wild flowers were observed during the visit. Page 3 Report on visit to Bramham Park, led by Peter Goodchild In March and April this year, I gave a series of 6 lectures to members of PLACE about the development of landscape gardening in England from the 17 th to the early 19 th century, with special reference to Yorkshire. The series was called ‘Gardening the Landscape and Landscaping the Garden, 1600-1820”. The lectures were about the relationships, designed relationships in particular, between two things; the first being gardens and the second being the wider landscapes in which individual gardens are located whether the landscape in question is farmland, parkland, other, or a mixture. This is a rich topic and a significant one in connection with British perceptions of landscapes and all kinds of outdoor environments. One of the principal themes is the change from geometrically based designs to a more free and naturalistic approach. The new naturalistic style originated in the 1730s. It evolved and became widespread not only in England but around the world and was known as ‘the English style’. Its moist famous practitioners in the UK were William Kent (a Yorkshireman), Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, and Humphry Repton. A very good local example of the naturalistic English style can be seen in the parkland at Harewood House. Brown and Repton, and others, advised here. Peter describing one of the water features with the back of the house in the background Temple, cascade and lake surrounded by mature trees Bramham, by contrast, was laid out between about 1700 and 1730 in the geometrical style. Although it was later modified slightly by naturalistic landscape gardening, it is still one of the best and most important surviving examples in the UK of the geometrical style and indeed of ‘the Grand Manner’. ‘The Grand Manner’ is a very appropriate description for the layout of the garden and park at Bramham because the scale of the layout is in harmony with the scale and features of the local landscape and with the scale of nature that they represent. A plan was drawn up c.1725-c1728 by the architect John Wood the Elder and survives as an engraving. It shows three large wooded areas which are located, as it were, at the corners of a very large triangle. The area between them is taken up by the park. The three wooded areas are (1) the pleasure grounds which lie immediately behind the mansion, (2) Black Fen Wood, and (3) Whittle Carr. The whole design is stitched together by a series of straight narrow vistas, broad views, and architectural eye-catchers. The pleasure grounds behind the mansion are notable for their alleys between high clipped hedges, their water features, their perimeter walks with their views beyond the pleasure grounds, and the wild flowers at your feet. The plan of c.1725-28 can still be used and is a very effective guide because much of the layout survives as shown on it. And where there have been changes, the plan makes it relatively easy to imagine what was there before.

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

Yorkshire Dales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we North are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

    ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.

  • Leighton Reservoir and Ilton Moor.Pdf
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Leighton Reservoir and Ilton Moor Starting point and OS Grid reference Leighton Reservoir. Lay-by next to the reservoir (SE 156787) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer 298 Nidderdale Distance 8.6 miles Date of Walk 29 May 2020 Traffic light rating Introduction: This is a varied walk, starting off by Leighton Reservoir and circling over Ilton Moor before returning via farmland and a pleasant stream to the start. It is a walk on clear tracks and is very easy to navigate. I did the walk after a very long dry spell and there were still a couple of boggy sections so, if you are doing the walk after a wet spell, you might be advised to take gaiters. Leighton Reservoir and the adjacent Roundhill Reservoir were built in the early 20th Century. It was officially opened in 1911. The work, including construction of a magnificent stone dam, needed a railway to transport goods from Masham railway station some six miles away. Its waters are used to compensate for abstraction from the River Ure and to provide a popular trout fishing lake. As you climb up to the moor, you will notice on the skyline a strange tower. This is one of the “Colsterdale Towers”, used for sightings in the construction of the reservoirs and associated pipelines. You can cross the moor to see it, though I did not bother having seen one before – see my Greygarth Circular walk. The view along the valley containing the reservoirs is particularly attractive. Ilton Moor itself is a fairly bleak place but will be attractive when the heather is blooming.
