  • APPENDIX 3 – Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook and Brown Edge & Endon 1. Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook
    Appendix 3: of Staffordshire Moorlands HEA APPENDIX 3 – Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook and Brown Edge & Endon 1. Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook 1.1 BFHECZ 1 – South of Stonehouses 1.1.1 Statement of heritage significance The zone covers 20ha and lies at around 170m AOD. The historic landscape character has been identified as planned enclosure which was probably created in the 18 th or 19 th century (cf. map 1). It is typified by the straight field boundaries and lanes laid out by surveyors. The surrounding landscape is also predominantly rectilinear in form, but does not have the overall regularity of this field system. This may consequently indicate not only enclosure at different periods but also differences in historic land ownership (cf. BFHECZ 2). The majority of the field boundaries have been removed although the overall regularity of the pattern survives. The zone lies within 200m of the line of a Roman road which connected Littlechester, Derbyshire and Chesterton (north of Newcastle under Lyme)1. There is consequently the potential for archaeological remains to be associated with Roman activity. However, besides a few prehistoric and Roman artefacts which have been found, little research has so far been carried on these periods within the wider area. 1.1.2 Heritage values: Evidential value: There is the potential for below ground remains to Low survive related to late prehistoric or Roman activity, which would provide new insights into the history not only of the Forsbrook/Drayton-in-the-Moors parishes, but of Staffordshire Moorlands more generally. Historical value: The overall character of the historic field system is Low still legible in the regularity of what remains.

We are grateful for advice from Graham Harrison. The section on the History of Green Belts in the West Midlands draws on Michael Law’s article in ‘Region and Renaissance’ (see references).

The West Midlands region was allocated 53 constituencies under the initial and revised proposals, a reduction of six from the existing allocation. In formulating the initial and revised proposals the Commission decided to construct constituencies using the following sub­regions: Table 1A ­ Constituency allocation Sub­region Existing allocation Allocation under initial Allocation under revised proposals proposals Staffordshire (and 12 11 11 Stoke­on­Trent) Herefordshire, Shropshire 47 42 n/a (including Telford and Wrekin), Warwickshire, West Midlands, and Worcestershire Herefordshire, Shropshire n/a n/a 32 (including Telford and Wrekin), West Midlands (excluding Coventry and 1 Solihull), and Worcestershire Coventry and Warwickshire n/a n/a 8 Solihull n/a n/a 2 2. Under the initial proposals seven of the existing 59 constituencies were completely unchanged. The revised proposals retained six of the existing constituencies unchanged. Under the initial proposals there were four constituencies that crossed county boundaries. These were: one cross­county constituency between Worcestershire and Warwickshire (Evesham and South Warwickshire), one between Herefordshire and Shropshire (Ludlow and Leominster), one between Herefordshire and Worcestershire (Malvern and Ledbury), and one between West Midlands and Warwickshire (Shirley and Solihull South).

  • Candidates West Midlands
    Page | 1 LIBERAL/LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES in PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS in the WEST MIDLAND REGION 1945-2015 ALL CONSTITUENCIES WITHIN THE COUNTIES OF HEREFORDSHIRE SHROPSHIRE STAFFORDSHIRE WARWICKSHIRE WORCESTERSHIRE INCLUDING SDP CANDIDATES in the GENERAL ELECTIONS of 1983 and 1987 COMPILED BY LIONEL KING 1 Page | 2 PREFACE As a party member since 1959, based in the West Midlands and a parliamentary candidate and member of the WMLF/WMRP Executive for much of that time, I have been in the privileged position of having met on several occasions, known well and/or worked closely with a significant number of the individuals whose names appear in the Index which follows. Whenever my memory has failed me I have drawn on the recollections of others or sought information from extant records. Seven decades have passed since the General Election of 1945 and there are few people now living with personal recollections of candidates who fought so long ago. I have drawn heavily upon recollections of conversations with older Liberal personalities in the West Midland Region who I knew in my early days with the party. I was conscious when I began work, twenty years ago, that much of this information would be lost forever were it not committed promptly to print. The Liberal challenge was weak in the West Midland Region over the period 1945 to 1959 in common with most regions of Britain. The number of constituencies fought fluctuated wildly; 1945, 21; 1950, 31; 1951, 3; 1955 4. The number of parliamentary constituencies in the region averaged just short of 60, a very large proportion urban in character.
