YOUR VIEWS This report is intended to form the basis for consultation between the NRA and all those with interests in the catchment. Consultees may wish to: * comment on the Vision for the Catchment * comment on the issues and options identified in the report * suggest alternative options for resolving identified issues * raise additional issues not identified in the report Following the consultation period all comments received on the Consultation Report will be considered in preparing the next phase, the Action Plan. This Consultation Report will not be rewritten as part of the Action Plan process. The NRA intends that the Plan should influence the policies and actions of developers and planning authorities as well as assisting in the day to day management of the catchment. A pre-consultation Forum was held on the 18 January 1995 to discuss the issues. Representatives from Local Authorities, National Organisations, other interested parties and representatives of the NRA Statutory Committees were in attendance. These external Statutory Committees advise the NRA on all aspects of its work. Comments arising from the Forum have been incorporated into this document where possible. A list of organisations attending the Forum is given in Appendix 3. The NRA is grateful for the useful suggestions received. Comments on the Consultation Report should be sent to: Dr Richard A Bailey, Area Manager NRA Lower Severn Area Riversmeet House Newtown Industrial Estate Northway Lane Tew kesbury Glos GL20 8JG All contributions should be made in writing by: Friday 28 July 1995 If you or your organisation need further information, please contact Dr J K Everard at the above address or by telephone on (01684) 850951. 40 26 River Severn Lower Reaches Catchment Management Plan Map 1 M ay 1995 River NRA r I Severn National Rivers Authority 25 Severn-Trent Region 24 24 23 23 22 22 21 21 20 20 19 19 Lower Severn Catchment KEY Catchment boundary Sub - catchment boundary 18 Main River AVONMOUTH Ordinary Watercourse Canal Built up Area Land > 400 feet 17 May 1995 FOREWORD The National Rivers Authority was created in 1989 to preserve and enhance the natural water environment and to protect people and property from flooding. In its role as 'Guardian of the Water Environment', the NRA is committed to preparing a sound plan for the future management of the region's river catchments. This Consultation Report is the first stage in the catchment management planning process for the River Severn - Lower Reaches Catchment. It provides a framework for consultation and also a means of seeking commitment from those involved to realise the full environmental potential of the catchment. We look forward to receiving comments and contributions from interested organisations and individuals. These will enable a final Plan to be produced, balancing the conflicting demands placed upon the natural water environment. Dr Richard Bailey Area Manager Lower Severn Area VISION STATEMENT This vision for the catchment describes what the NRA would wish the catchment to be and how it might work toward that vision. This vision is long term and while it may only be partly achieved in the next five years, it is something we can all work towards. The NRA aims To ensure that water quality is appropriate for the current and future uses of the catchment. This includes: Seeking additional safeguards to protect water supplies by submission of proposals to the Department of Environment that the River Severn and Gloucester - Sharpness Canal should be designated as Water Protection Zones. Working in conjunction with other authorities to control mining activities in the Forest of Dean. Ensuring that development or use of contaminated land in Cheltenham, Gloucester, the Forest of Dean and Avonmouth is accompanied by responsible remedial measures. Upgrading the quality of the Rivers Chelt and Frome by sewage treatment works’ improvements and enhancing the quality of the major tributary of the Severn - the Warwickshire Avon, by actions detailed in the Avon's Catchment Management Plan. Seeking adequate rural sewerage systems to serve areas where pollution is evident. Support will be given to local schemes which will employ sensitive and sustainable methods of treatment. * Reduction of diffuse nitrate and phosphate pollution by assisting the Ministry of Agriculture in managing Nitrate Vulnerable Zones and proposing to the Department of the Environment that the Gloucester-Sharpness Canal and the Rivers Severn and Leadon be designated as Eutrophic Sensitive Areas. To protect ground and surface water resources. Particular aims are to: * Manage the residual flow in the Severn at Gloucester to meet requirements for water supply, navigation and fish migration. Restore flow in the Glynch Brook in dry summers. To provide flood defences to reduce the risk to people and property from flooding where this is cost effective and environmentally acceptable, to improve the system of flood warning in non-tidal rivers and to establish a warning system on the tidal River Severn. Particular aims are to: ^ rational Rivers /w; , formation Cenrre 111 ad Office ENVIRONMENT AGENCY . i 'l O ............... ..... 099887 I A c c ^ i o n No . A O V \A/. * Establish a strategy with Gloucester City using a combination of new roadworks, redevelopment of flood plain fringes, removal of redundant structures and installation of new flood defences. * Provide flood alleviation works in Cheltenham in co-operation with Cheltenham Borough Council to give increased flood protection to more than 700 properties. * To reinstate degraded sections of river corridor to their full potential especially on the Rivers Cam and Frome and the Hatherley, Norman and Horsebere Brooks. * To support and develop recreational activities including restoration of the Stroudwater, Thames and Severn and Herefordshire & Gloucestershire Canals where this does not adversely affect other uses. * To seek the return of otters to the catchment and protect native stocks of brown trout, especially in the Forest of Dean, and crayfish in the Little Avon, from introduced species. * To improve and protect the fisheries in the catchment, in particular the elver fishery, via fisheries management, habitat and environmental quality improvements. * To support the development of small scale hydropower schemes where it can be demonstrated that they do not adversely affect other uses of the River Frome or other Cotswold streams. * To ensure that development at Avonmouth does not reduce the present flood storage capacity or adversely affect wetland ecology by co-operation with Bristol and Northavon Councils, the South Gloucestershire Internal Drainage Board and English Nature. * To forward the principles of sustainability and environmental protection and enhancement by consultation with local authorities, agencies and developers within the planning process. This includes participation in the formal planning system and via Water Level Management Plans, Coastal and Catchment Management Planning. The final overall aim encompassing all of these aspects is a sustainable water environment.

Two, possibly three underground workings (connected underground) are situated in the south west corner of the open quarry at Quarry Wood, Sherborne Park, Gloucestershire, National Grid Reference SP 16561408, altitude 165 m. They were surveyed with the permission and help of the National Trust in September 1993. Total surveyed length: 140 m, and vertical range 3.92 m. A copy of this report was sent to the National Trust who are undertaking an archaeological appraisal of the Park. History. A full archival search has not been undertaken, however, Arkell (1947) records the use of ‘Sherborne Stone‘ at Windsor, and later Oxford, from 1365. More specifically, Hull (1857) shows an engraving of the open quarry at Quarry Wood. He makes no mention of underground workings, but does at nearby Windrush where the quarry was worked underground before 1840. Arkell states that three galleries could be entered at Quarry Wood in the 1940s and that the quarry had remained in use until 1915 for estate use. This type of underground quarry came within the scope of various Government Mining and Quarrying Acts from c. 1880, however Sherborne does not appear in these mineral lists. No datable evidence was found underground for primary working, but the above data and more specifically the style of working, deterioration of wooden props, etc, points probably to a date c. 1860 - 1880, unless they were later worked illegally‘. Subsequent to the survey, members of the Gloucester Speleological Society found clay pipe.

  • Ledbury to Gloucester Copy Better
    Ledbury to Gloucester Railway Ledbury to Gloucester by rail Taken from David Postle’s book of the same name and is seen through the eyes of the Driver and Fireman of the last passenger train on the branch on the 11th July 1959. The driver was Jack Folley and the fireman Jim Kavanagh. Jim checked the fire again and looked at the pressure gauge, and decided that he ought to put a little more coal on the fire. He picked up his shovel, opened the fire hole doors and placed half a dozen shovelfuls round the firebox, turned on the injector again because he knew that shortly he would be stopping at Barber’s Bridge with a minute or two in hand to gain any pressure that might be lost by putting more water into the boiler. He picked up a little hand brush and swept the coal dust from the floorboards of the cab. ‘Even when the railway was opened, no attempt was made to advertise the new service. It wasn’t until the end of August that the G.W.R. advertised a summer excursion from Cheltenham to Malvern via Newest. The line was obviously considered important by some because, in the sales particulars of property on the market at that time, the proximity to the new railway was very often stressed’ ‘Did the railway look as though it might fulfil its potential’, asked Jim. ‘Early newspaper reports were very optimistic. The first five weeks saw over 2000 passengers booked at Newest and just over half that at Dymock.’ ‘Talking in the early days,’ said Jim, ‘the guard told me at Ledbury that we have an elderly gentleman on board who travelled on the first train, and here he is, on the last one over the Branch.’ ‘Is that right? I suppose it just goes to show how short-lived this Branch has been.’ ‘Whilst on the subject of people, did I tell you about Dick Nash?’ asked Jack.

  • The Iron Age Tom Moore
    The Iron Age Tom Moore INTRODUCfiON In the twenty years since Alan Saville's (1984) review of the Iron Age in Gloucestershire much has happened in Iron-Age archaeology, both in the region and beyond.1 Saville's paper marked an important point in Iron-Age studies in Gloucestershire and was matched by an increasing level of research both regionally and nationally. The mid 1980s saw a number of discussions of the Iron Age in the county, including those by Cunliffe (1984b) and Darvill (1987), whilst reviews were conducted for Avon (Burrow 1987) and Somerset (Cunliffe 1982). At the same time significant advances and developments in British Iron-Age studies as a whole had a direct impact on how the period was viewed in the region. Richard Hingley's (1984) examination of the Iron-Age landscapes of Oxfordshire suggested a division between more integrated unenclosed communities in the Upper Thames Valley and isolated enclosure communities on the Cotswold uplands, arguing for very different social systems in the two areas. In contrast, Barry Cunliffe' s model ( 1984a; 1991 ), based on his work at Danebury, Hampshire, suggested a hierarchical Iron-Age society centred on hillforts directly influencing how hillforts and social organisation in the Cotswolds have been understood (Darvill1987; Saville 1984). Together these studies have set the agenda for how the 1st millennium BC in the region is regarded and their influence can be felt in more recent syntheses (e.g. Clarke 1993). Since 1984, however, our perception of Iron-Age societies has been radically altered. In particular, the role of hillforts as central places at the top of a hierarchical settlement pattern has been substantially challenged (Hill 1996).

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.
