    Significance of the Landscape

    Norfolk Coast AONB Management Plan 2014-19 Supporting Information The significance of the Norfolk Coast landscape Summarised from 'The Norfolk Coast Landscape: An assessment of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' (Countryside Commission, CCP 486, 1995). This document is now out of print and not available in digital format, but a copy is available at the Norfolk Coast Partnership office if you wish to read it in full. AONB designation Judging the importance of a particular area of landscape is no easy matter. The importance and value attached to the Norfolk Coast landscape has already been reflected by its designation, in 1968, as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) as well as by the separate definition in 1975 of a more limited part of the area as a Heritage Coast. It is helpful to consider the area's special qualities under four main headings: ● the value of the landscape as part of the national and regional landscape resource , by virtue of its rarity or representativeness, and including comparison with other areas of similar landscape character and with the surrounding landscape; ● the scenic qualities of the landscape, including the particular combination of landscape elements, aesthetic qualities, local distinctiveness and 'sense of place'; ● evidence about how the landscape is perceived and valued by the general public and by writers and others who may have been inspired by it; ● other special values attached to the landscape including historical and cultural associations and special conservation interests, relating to features of outstanding nature conservation or archaeological interest. Summarised below are the ways in which the Norfolk Coast demonstrates these qualities to an extent that makes the area a truly outstanding landscape.

    Little Japan and Barber’S Point Through the Trees

    Heritage, Heath & Hedgerow Historic nature walks with Aldeburgh Museum The Sailor’s Path is a well-worn route, initially used by seafarers, smugglers and fisherman. The full 6 mile route runs from Aldeburgh to Snape and offers a fascinating view of the picturesque River Alde. This walk, at 2.5 miles, offers an introduction to the route. This walk starts in the car park at the Aldeburgh end of the Sailor’s path. The route is well signposted. The patch of land behind the signpost, was used by the Royal Flying Corps in World War 1. They created a small single track railway to transport goods from their airbase at Hazlewood Hall across this patch of land to the Brick Dock jetty on the river. Notice the creeping buttercup along the edge of the path. Arriving at the open field to the left is a good viewpoint to see Yarn Hill which is other side of the river. It is said that St Botolph (Anglo-Saxon Saint of Travellers) wanted to build Iken church here but found it full of eerie and ghostly happenings and changed the church location to where it is today. Splendid yellow gorse in full flower is evident along the path and throughout the Suffolk coast. Less commonly named Furze or Whin, it has an almond/coconut like scent and is very prickly! It is an important nectar source for bees in Spring when few flowers have bloomed. The sad, dead trees to the left of the path before Marsh Cottage are evidence of the breach in the river wall and consequently the flooding of the Hazlewood marshes in 2013.
  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company

    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company

    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.
