  • Simon Roberts Pierdom

    Simon Roberts Pierdom

    SIMON ROBERTS PIERDOM 10 September - 12 October 2013 Private View Tuesday 10 September 6 - 8pm Flowers Gallery 82 Kingsland Road London E2 8DP +44 (0)20 7920 7777 Teignmouth Grand Pier, Devon, July 2011, Fujicolour Crystal Archive Print, 122 x 152 cm / 48 x 60 inch British photographer Simon Roberts has spent the past three years creating Pierdom, a comprehensive survey of Britain’s piers. Predominantly constructed during the 19th Century in the context of expanding Victorian seaside resorts and railways, these structures were often erected as landing docks for pleasure steamers and other sea craft. Growing to accommodate the needs of day-trippers escaping the smog of the city, engineers began to incorporate bandstands, cafes and music halls into their designs, embracing the growing notion of ‘pleasure seeking’ by the seaside. Pierdom addresses the historical significance of these architectural structures placed in comparison with their modern interpretation and functionality. Roberts’ photographs of ruinous piers such as Birnbeck Pier (2012) are in contrast with those such as Ryde Pier (2012) in which the local community and everyday usage of the landscape is represented by a skate boarding park which dominates the composition. It is this socio-cultural element of the landscape that has sustained Roberts’ interest, revealing a deep fascination with the way humans interact with their environment, and in eccentric British pastimes. At the turn of the century the British coastline boasted over 100 piers, some modest and functional, others elegant, exotic Victorian structures thrusting out into the sea. Now under half remain, the others destroyed by fierce weather and fires, with many dismantled during the 2nd World War to prevent German landings.

    Rails by the Sea.Pdf

    1 RAILS BY THE SEA 2 RAILS BY THE SEA In what ways was the development of the seaside miniature railway influenced by the seaside spectacle and individual endeavour from 1900 until the present day? Dr. Marcus George Rooks, BDS (U. Wales). Primary FDSRCS(Eng) MA By Research and Independent Study. University of York Department of History September 2012 3 Abstract Little academic research has been undertaken concerning Seaside Miniature Railways as they fall outside more traditional subjects such as standard gauge and narrow gauge railway history and development. This dissertation is the first academic study on the subject and draws together aspects of miniature railways, fairground and leisure culture. It examines their history from their inception within the newly developing fairground culture of the United States towards the end of the 19th. century and their subsequent establishment and development within the UK. The development of the seaside and fairground spectacular were the catalysts for the establishment of the SMR in the UK. Their development was largely due to two individuals, W. Bassett-Lowke and Henry Greenly who realized their potential and the need to ally them with a suitable site such as the seaside resort. Without their input there is no doubt that SMRs would not have developed as they did. When they withdrew from the culture subsequent development was firmly in the hands of a number of individual entrepreneurs. Although embedded in the fairground culture they were not totally reliant on it which allowed them to flourish within the seaside resort even though the traditional fairground was in decline.

    England Coast Path Aust to Brean Down Report 7

    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Aust to Brean Down Report ABD 7: Huckers Bow to Birnbeck Pier Part 7.1: Introduction Start Point: Huckers Bow (grid reference: ST 3473 6620) End Point: Birnbeck Pier (grid reference: ST 3101 6252) Relevant Maps: ABD 7a to ABD 7f 7.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Aust and Brean Down. 7.1.2 This report covers length ABD 7 of the stretch, which is the coast between Huckers Bow and Birnbeck Pier. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 7.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
  • North Somerset Local Plan 2036 Issues and Options Consultation Statement – March 2019

    North Somerset Local Plan 2036 Issues and Options Consultation Statement – March 2019

    North Somerset Local Plan 2036 Issues and Options Consultation Statement – March 2019 Introduction This document explains how North Somerset Council undertook consultation in on the North Somerset Local Plan 2036 – Issues and Options Document (Sept 2018). It sets out how North Somerset Council has sought participation from communities and stakeholders across North Somerset. It covers: • Which bodies and persons were invited to make comments; • How those bodies and persons were invited to make comment; • The material that was subject to consultation • A summary of the issues raised This consultation statement complies with the North Somerset’s Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). The SCI outlines that the Council is committed to effective community engagement, and seeks to use a wide range of methods for involving the community in the plan making process. North Somerset Council’s Statement of Community Involvement was adopted in March 2015. This replaces the former SCI which was adopted in February 2007 and needed updating because of changes in planning legislation and increased use of electronic communication in the planning process. This revised Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) sets out how the Council will involve the community and stakeholders in the preparation, alteration and review of local planning policy and the consideration of planning applications. The SCI proposed that the consultation methods and those engaged would vary according to the purpose of the consultation and the bodies or persons who the council were keen to involve. Background The Joint Spatial Plan (JSP) provides the new development context to 2036. This will roll-forward the existing proposals contained in all four West of England Core Strategies and identify the additional housing and infrastructure needed to 2036.
