[Established 1851.] 5^ 1852 TO 1865. COLLATED AND COMPILED BY H. Cecil Moore, Honorary Secretary. "Hope on." " Hope ever." HEREFORD; printed by jakeman and carver, 4 & 5i high town. Issued December, 1907- TRANSACTIONS OF THE Woolliopt Saturaliats' JFtdft «Inb. 1852—1865. INTRODUCTION. The Woolhope Naturalists' Field Club, according to the Title-page of its earliest pubUcations, was established in 185 1, and, as we gather from subsequent issues, during the winter period of the end of that year. The earliest minutes, how- ever, which we possess are dated Tuesday, April 13th, 1852, when Mr. R. M. Lingwood was in the chair. The twelve Rules of the Club are entered upon the minutes. Rule 2 regulates " That the Club consists of 40 Members, with such Honorary ." Members as may be admitted from time to time. That the formation of the Club had received mature consideration preliminary to this first record of its proceedings, may be assumed from the fact that, at this its first recorded meeting, 30 Members were elected upon its foundation. Seven of the most distinguished authorities in our Kingdom on Geology and Botany were at this same meeting elected honorary members. Mr. R. M. Lingwood was elected President. The thanks of the in meeting were voted to Mr. M. J. Scobie for his exertions estabUshing the Club, and he was elected Honorary Secretary. The first bound volume of the Transactions of the Club contains the proceedings of the year 1866. The proceedings of the Club during the fourteen years, 1852 to 1865, were generally summarised or epitomised in the annual address of the President for each respective year. Only six printed publications were issued during those fourteen years ; these were in pamphlet form with paper covers. Possibly not more than one or two complete sets of the six parts are in any one's possession. These six parts are incorporated in their proper sequence in this volume. Fortunately there was amongst the earliest members of the Club a chiel taking notes, who published them in one of our local newspapers, the Hereford Times. This was Mr. Flavell ; Edmunds, a good botanist, and a scholar of various scientific attainments. To the Hereford Times, of which paper he was the Editor, we owe our records of many very valuable articles. In the compilation of this volume I have, in addition to consulting the volumes of the Hereford Times in our Reference Library, availed myself of the Minute Book of the Club, and of the Proceedings of contiguous kindred Clubs. My best thanks are due to Mr. Walter Pilley for the loan of his collections, which have supplied many references. Rule I of the Club determines its object : —" For the practical study, in all its branches, of the Natural History of Herefordshire and the districts immediately adjacent." This is very comprehensive. From its origin the Club has been in a state of " evolution " and its fields of investigation and research considerably widened. In the Rules published for 1903 the subject of Archaeology was added to Rule i. Our Members are not limited. At the end of 1907 our Club embraces about 260 ordinary Members. In- cluding our Honorary Members and Officials of Corresponding Societies with whom our Transactions are exchanged, we forward more than 300 of our publications when issued. We now possess eighteen bound volumes treating princi- pally of our beautiful county. Our nineteenth volume, now in the press, will bring the Geology, Botany, and Mycology of the county up to date. There is much more work to be done, especially in details of Geology, examination of Drifts, exposition of the general configuration and formation of the scenery of the county, and the causes to which it is due. On the completion of my task, however imperfectly per- formed, I am sensible that our Members will highly appreciate the ground work established by previous labourers. My desire is that the study thereof will stimulate each individual to con- tribute to the stores of our knowledge, thus ensuring the con- tinued progress of the Club and the maintenance of its reputation. H. CECIL MOORE. l^th November, 1907. ; The following original Rules are copied from the Minute Book of the Club, dated April 13th, 18s2. RULES OF THE ooll|0p£ Jlaturalists' J^i^ltJ Qtltrb.

    RAILWAY AND CANAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY EARLY RAILWAY GROUP Occasional Paper 251 BENJAMIN HALL’S TRAMROADS AND THE PROMOTION OF CHAPMAN’S LOCOMOTIVE PATENT Stephen Rowson, with comment from Andy Guy Stephen Rowson writes - Some year ago I had access to some correspondence originally in the Llanover Estate papers and made this note from within a letter by Benjamin Hall to his agent John Llewellin, dated 7 March 1815: Chapman the Engineer called on me today. He says one of their Engines will cost about £400 & 30 G[uinea]s per year for his Patent. He gave a bad account of the Collieries at Newcastle, that they do not clear 5 per cent. My original thoughts were of Chapman looking for business by hawking a working model of his locomotive around the tramroads of south Wales until I realised that Hall wrote the letter from London. So one assumes the meeting with William Chapman had taken place in the city rather than at Hall’s residence in Monmouthshire. No evidence has been found that any locomotive ran on Hall’s Road until many years later after it had been converted from a horse-reliant tramroad. Did any of Chapman’s locomotives work on south Wales’ tramroads? __________________________________ Andy Guy comments – This is a most interesting discovery which raises a number of issues. In 1801, Benjamin Hall, M.P. (1778-1817) married Charlotte, daughter of the owner of Cyfarthfa ironworks, Richard Crawshay, and was to gain very considerable industrial interests from his father- in-law.1 Hall’s agent, John Llewellin, is now better known now for his association with the Trevithick design for the Tram Engine, the earliest surviving image of a railway locomotive.2 1 Benjamin Hall was the son of Dr Benjamin Hall (1742–1825) Chancellor of the diocese of Llandaff, and father of Sir Benjamin Hall (1802-1867), industrialist and politician, supposedly the origin of the nickname ‘Big Ben’ for Parliament’s clock tower (his father was known as ‘Slender Ben’ in Westminster).

    Our ref: APP/W1850/W/20/3244410 Guy Wakefield Ridge and Partners LLP 15 March 2021 Dear Sir TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990 – SECTION 78 APPEAL MADE BY BLOOR HOMES WESTERN LAND NORTH OF VIADUCT, ADJACENT TO ORCHARD BUSINESS PARK, LEDBURY APPLICATION REF: 171532 1. I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of Lesley Coffey BA Hons BTP MRTPI, who held a public local inquiry starting on 13 July 2020 into your client’s appeal against the decision of Herefordshire Council to refuse your client’s application for outline planning permission for a mixed use development including the erection of up to 625 new homes (including affordable housing), up to 2.9 hectares of B1 employment land, a canal corridor, public open space (including a linear park), access, drainage and ground modelling works and other associated works, in accordance with LPA reference 171532, dated 22 June 2018. The proposal is for outline planning permission with all matters reserved for future consideration with the exception of access. Only the means of access into the site is sought as part of this outline application, not the internal site access arrangements (i.e. they do not formally form part of the application). Vehicular access is proposed off the Bromyard Road. 2. On 26 March 2020, this appeal was recovered for the Secretary of State's determination, in pursuance of section 79 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

  • The Route of the Ogilby Coach Road from Pontsticill to Quakers Yard. KA
    The route of the Ogilby coach road from Pontsticill to Quakers Yard. K. A. Martin. 1 Introduction. This paper is one of a series I have written about the area of the north of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire and the south of Breconshire. Four of the Volumes are studies of the old roads and tracks in this area, also there is a separate volume on various archaeological features to be found over this area and a fifth is the study of what was an ancient lake site with peat deposits in which I have found pollen grains dating back to the end of the last ice age. This present paper was too long to become another chapter in Assorted Archaeology and too short to be called a volume but is, I think, long enough to stand alone. I am conscious that I am only being concerned with one aspect of the history of Merthyr and that there have been, and still are, able local historians who know far more about the area than I. Nevertheless this essay might help to throw some light in a few dark corners and it is, at least available for public scrutiny.. It has been my experience that there are many people who are diffident about putting their own very extensive knowledge on paper. I would be happy if anyone should care to get in touch with me on any matters arising from this or any other matters which might be of more general relevance. K. A. Martin. February 2010.

The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

  • Walking to Caer Caradoc from Church Stretton. the Shropshire Countryside to the East of Church Stretton Has a Collection of Hill
    Walking to Caer Caradoc from Church Stretton. The Shropshire countryside to the east of Church Stretton has a collection of hills which are generally quieter than the Long Mynd to the west. These hills are made more interesting by the occasional rocky outcrops which are great to sit on or behind for a picnic. These hills provide a number of walks each containing at least one section of ascent. You can start in Church Stretton where car parking (grid ref. SO454936) is available together with a train service. Locate Sandford Avenue which runs from the traffic lights on the A49 into the main centre. Take Essex Road, which leads north from this avenue, and continue out of the town to reach a footpath sign on your right at the northern end of a new housing development (Grid ref. SO457939). Follow this footpath across the railway to reach the A49. Cross this busy main road and continue along the track opposite. Continue across the field ahead using the stiles to reach a lane. Turn left towards New House Farm taking the second footpath on the right. This path follows the field boundary to join a track. Go through the gale and fork left down to a footbridge (Grid ref. SO 471943). Go over the bridge and turn right for a short way before turning left up an eroded path that climbs steeply up. This path leads to a fence which is crossed by a stile with the onward path still climbing onto the ridge of Caer Caradoc. The views have improved from here on and to the left you will see the Long Mynd whilst to the right you should be able to see the Battle Stones on Willstone Hill which will be a feature of the second part of this walk.

This information has been expanded upon by relevant specialists. This booklet is the result of a community project and it is to those members of the local community that the first thanks must go. It is due to their dedication during a particularly wet and windy month that the survey work was completed. In particular thanks must go to Janet Cooper who assisted with co-ordinating the volunteer involvement. The project was only possible through the support of the staff of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Partnership and the funding provided by their Sustainable Development Fund. The project brought together organisations, societies and individuals from varied areas of interests covering archaeology, history, ecology, geology and forestry.
