This land provides the town with a strong rural character. Plymouth contains the third highest per square mile occurrence of rare, threatened and endangered species of any community in Massachusetts. The town contains the third largest area of globally rare pine barren in the eastern United States, 36 miles of coastline, several anadromous fish runs and over 365 inland ponds including 32 globally rare coastal plain ponds. The town also sits on the second largest sole-source aquifer in the state. Plymouth’s population has increased more than fourfold in the past fifty years. The continuing availability of large tracts of developable land, the rural character, high quality of community services, transportation improvements, and proximity to Boston will continue to spur this high growth rate. Many areas of rural landscape have been impacted by large residential developments, most often of large lot, single family homes. Additional large tracts of rural land, often outside of the established village centers, are constantly being targeted for additional development. There are, therefore several compelling reasons for Plymouth to preserve open space: • To maintain quality of the drinking water • To maintain fiscal stability • To lessen sprawl and traffic congestion • To protect wildlife habitat • To protect the beaches, harbor, ponds and rivers • To fulfill recreational needs Within this 2017 Update of the Open Space & Recreation Plan (2009) town planners and citizens will find a variety of tools and action steps to help the town preserve open space: • Maps showing areas already preserved and lands targeted for preservation • Open Space Acquisition Ranking Criteria, for evaluating acquisition opportunities • Funding suggestions for land acquisition and conservation restrictions • Description of regulatory tools such as transfer of development rights and impact fees 6 Town of plymouth 2017 update open space & recreation plan Section I - Plan Summary The 2017 Update of the Plymouth Open Space and Recreation Plan is in conformance with the March 2008 Open Space and Recreation Planner’s Workbook as published by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Division of Conservation Services. This update includes: • Updates of census, economics and other statistics; • Review and re-endorsement of the goals and strategies outlined in Plymouth’s 2006 Master Plan and the Open Space and Recreation Plan; • Updates to the land development patterns throughout the Town, including maps of

    Sodomy, the Courts and the Civic Idiom in Eighteenth-Century Bristol

    Urban History, 34, 1 (2007) C 2007 Cambridge University Press Printed in the United Kingdom doi:10.1017/S0963926807004385 ‘Bringing great shame upon this city’: sodomy, the courts and the civic idiom in eighteenth-century Bristol STEVE POOLE∗ School of History, University of the West of England, Bristol, St Matthias Campus, Bristol BS16 2JP abstract: During the 1730s, Bristol acquired an unenviable reputation as a city in which sodomy was endemic and rarely punished by the civil power. Although the cause lay partly in difficulties experienced in securing convictions, the resolve of magistrates was exposed to fierce scrutiny.Taking an effusive curate’s moral vindication of the city as a starting point, this article examines the social production of sodomy in eighteenth-century Bristol, analyses prosecution patterns and considers the importance of collective moral reputation in the forging of civic history. The Saints Backsiding In 1756, Emanuel Collins, curate, schoolmaster and doggerel poet, penned an extraordinary moral vindication of the city of Bristol, following the public disclosure of a pederasty scandal in the Baptist College and the flight of a number of suspects. In a rare flash of wit, he entitled it, The Saints Backsiding. Not for the first time, it appeared, Collins’ home city was being whispered about elsewhere as a place in which sodomitical transgression was both endemic and unpunished. ‘I am not unacquainted with the many foul reflections that have been cast on my Fellow-Citizens of BRISTOL concerning this most abominable vice’, Collins began, but ‘tis the fate of all cities to be the conflux of bad men.’ They go there ‘to hide themselves in the multitude and to seek security in the crowd’.
