  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.

  • Advisory Visit River Wye, Buxton Flyfishers Club, Derbyshire 17Th
    Advisory Visit River Wye, Buxton Flyfishers Club, Derbyshire 17th March, 2009 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust on the River Wye near Buxton, Derbyshire on 17th March 2009. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Paul Richardson of Buxton Flyfishers Club (BFFC), and David Percival, riverkeeper for Cressbrook & Litton Flyfishers Club (CLFFC) which controls the water immediately downstream of this reach. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Fishery Overview BFFC control the fishing on the River Wye between the footbridge at Blackwell Cottages (downstream limit, National Grid Reference SK 112727), and the bridge at the Devonshire Arms (Silverdale Plant Ltd.) (NGR SK 081724), a length of approximately 4 km. A schematic diagram of the river is shown in Figure 1. The water is owned by the Chatsworth Estate and leased to BFFC. The club has 24 members, and stocks 250 12-14” brown trout (diploid) per annum into the lower third of the fishery (downstream of Topley Pike car park). No stocking has taken place upstream of this point, nor any rainbow trout been introduced, for several years. The fishery contains excellent self- sustaining populations of brown and rainbow trout throughout, although it is felt that there is a predominance of small fish. The majority of BFFC members practise catch and release, and few fish are killed.

  • A Poetic Playground: Collaborative Practices in the Peak District and So
    1 A Poetic Playground: Collaborative Practices in the Peak District And so I give you this land, the way you’d hold open a door or offer someone else your hand. I give you this land for play, which means I give you time itself, the close-kept summer days. (Helen Mort, from ‘I Give You This Land’, 2015, p. 11) Introduction: A Literary Lacuna Margaret Drabble’s work of populist literary geography, A Writer’s Britain: Landscape in Literature, contains two maps, drawn by Ian Thomson, which highlight key literary locations in England, Scotland and Wales (Drabble, 1979). In the first of the maps, focusing on Wales and much of England, an inset provides the granular detail required to represent some of the multi-layered literary associations of metropolitan London; and, saliently, a second inset map is deemed necessary, overleaf, to geo-locate the literature of the Lake District on the map of northern England and Scotland. In Thomson’s mapping of Drabble’s vision of literary Britain, then, urban London and the rural Lakes are presented as sites of textual thickness. By comparison, the map of the literary Peak District is strikingly thin. This predominantly rural landscape - encircled by the major industrialised conurbations of Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby and Stoke-on-Trent - is represented by just three locations: the stately home of Chatsworth; the tourist town of Matlock; and the village of Cromford, home of Richard Arkwright’s pioneering cotton mill. Moreover, in contrast to the nearby Potteries and Sherwood Forest, the landscape of the Peak District is not even labelled on Thomson’s literary map.

  • Monsal Trail from Bakewell, Hassop
    Title. Distance Place OS Map OS 119 Monsal Trail 1 - 4 Miles Nr. Bakewell Buxton & From Bakewell, Hassop 1 – 6 Km. Matlock The Monsal Trail is a traffic free route for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and wheelchair users through some of the Peak District’s most spectacular limestone dales, and is the former Midland Railway line running for 8.5 miles between Blackwell Mill, in Chee Dale and Coombs Road, at Bakewell. Most of the route was opened to the public in 1981 but four former railway tunnels had to remain closed due to safety reasons, until 2011 when the four railway tunnels - Headstone Tunnel, Cressbrook Tunnel, Litton Tunnel, Chee Tor Tunnel – where opened for trail users. Each tunnel is about 400 metres long and will be lit during normal daylight hours. Two shorter tunnels Chee Tor No.2 and Rusher Cutting already formed part of the Monsal Trail. The public can now experience the full length of the former railway route at their own pace and see breathtaking views at places like Water-cum-Jolly Dale that have remained hidden since the railway closed in 1968. This section of the walk is from Bakewell Station or Hassop Station covering Coombs Road Viaduct to Monsal Head. See the rest of the Monsal Trail from Millers Dale Station. Also for information see the website - www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/visiting/cycle/monsaltrail z Facilities – Along the trail are many villages, Public Houses, Inns and Cafes which are close by – but see the map as there are only 3 places in this part of the walk to park for wheelchair entry / exit to the trail, at the following locations - At Bakewell Station – Park at the old Bakewell Station.
