    Air Pollution Records from Urban Lake Sediments: the Implications of Datable, Lacustrine Sedimentary Archives for Epidemiology

    Air Pollution XIV 735 Air pollution records from urban lake sediments: the implications of datable, lacustrine sedimentary archives for epidemiology A. T. Worsley1, A. L. Power1, C. A. Booth2, N. Richardson1, P. G. Appleby3 & C. Orton4 1Natural.Geographical and Applied Sciences, Edge Hill University College, Ormskirk, Lancashire, UK 2Research Institute in Advanced Technologies (RIATec), The University of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, UK 3Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK 4Halton Primary Care Trust, Widnes, Cheshire, UK Abstract Sediment pollution records from several small, urban, man-made lakes from Merseyside and Halton (N.W. England, UK) are presented. They demonstrate that lake sediments can be used to reconstruct atmospheric pollution histories that encompass the entire Industrial Revolution (the last 250 years) in the U.K. Regionally, this was a period that saw the instigation, development and subsequent expansion of major industrial activity, such as iron and steel production, petro-chemical manufacture and power generation, followed by rises in road and air travel. Through the use of analytical techniques, such as environmental magnetism, together with 210Pb dating, urban lacustrine stratigraphic records illustrate that the types and levels of atmospheric pollution have changed temporally. The work promotes the ethos that such archives could be vital to our understanding of past, present and future relationships between human health and the environment. Keywords: atmospheric particulate pollution, lake sediments, mineral magnetism, environmental health.

    Heritage at Risk Contents Introduction Dilapidation in progress History 360 degree view Future Uses Costs and Future Action Report prepared by Altrincham & Bowdon Civic Society June 2020 https://altrinchamandbowdoncs.com/ Introduction Altrincham, Broadheath and Timperley have 48 listed buildings. The Broadheath Canal Warehouse is Grade II listed. It has been allowed to deteriorate to the point where unless remedial action is taken it may become lost for ever. It is our heritage and if we want future generation to understand and be in touch their history, action is required. The Bridgewater Canal was the first contour canals built in the Britain necessitating not a single lock throughout its 39½ mile length. The initial length of the canal, Worsley to Castlefield, was opened in 1761 with permission to build the extension from Stretford to Broadheath allowing that section to open in 1767. The further extension through to Runcorn was opened in 1769 allowing the link up with the Trent and Mersey Canal at Preston Brook. The Duke of Bridgewater had been smart enough to also purchase the land at Broadheath where the turnpike road from Chester to Manchester would cross the canal. Here he established many wharfs along the canal bank to handle goods going into Manchester, principally vegetables from the new market gardens which sprang up around Broadheath. On the return journey the boats brought back coal from the Duke’s mines in Worsley which was used to heat local homes and power small industries. The wharfs at Broadheath handled timber, sand, slates, bricks, limestone to make mortar, raw cotton and flax, and finished good.

    SITE NAME: Halton Grange (Runcorn Town Hall), Heath Road, Runcorn, WA7 5TD Address Unitary Halton Borough Council Authority: Parish: Runcorn Location: 0.5km south of Runcorn Town centre Grid Ref: SJ 518 820. Owner: Halton Borough Council Recorder: JC Date of Site Visit 20.04.2016 Date of Report: 29/04/17 Summary Halton Grange was built in the 1850s as a residential property for a local soap manufacturer. The grounds were laid out in 1853-4 by Edward Kemp. In 1932 the property and a small portion of the surrounding land were sold to Runcorn District Council who took it over as council offices. Many original features survive inside the building and elements of Kemp’s layout and features remain in the grounds. The kitchen garden has been lost to council offices. Halton Grange is now known as Runcorn Town Hall and belongs to Halton Borough Council. Principal remaining features House, listed Grade II (List Entry Number: 1104859) The long walk Sandstone retaining wall with niche Sections of wall associated with the kitchen garden and outbuildings An ornamental pond Parkland trees History (numbers in brackets refer to images, letters in brackets refer to maps) The earliest record in the deeds of Halton Grange is August 1778 when Thomas Fearnhead was granted a tenancy of land owned by the Duchy of Lancaster, by The Court of the Manor of Halton. In December 1780, the tenancy passed to Daniel Orred and then to his nephew, George Orred upon his death. The total land holding was described as 14 Cheshire acres. At the Manor Court in 1836 evidence was given of the grant to George Orred of the tenancy, of its subsequent transfer to William Johnson (victualler) for £1,900, and of a further transfer to Francis Salkeld (grocer) in 1830 for the sum of £3,720.
