    Bibliography Sources for further reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography Introduction Over many years a great deal has been published about the properties and collections in the care of the National Trust, yet to date no single record of those publications has been established. The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust. How to use The Bibliography is arranged by property, and then alphabetically by author. For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page. To search by particular terms, such as author or a theme, please make use of the ‘Find’ function, in the ‘Edit’ menu (or use the keyboard shortcut ‘[Ctrl] + [F]’).

    Emergency Active Travel Fund Tranche 2.Pdf

    North Yorkshire County Council Business and Environmental Services Briefing Note for Corporate Director, Business and Environmental Services and BES Executive Member for Access 6 August 2020 Emergency Active Travel Fund - Tranche 2 1.0 Purpose of Briefing Note 1.1 The Government has recently announced £2bn funding over 5 years for walking and cycling facilities. The indicative allocation from the Department for Transport (DfT) was that the NYCC allocation for the current year (20/21) would be in the region of £1.3m spread across two tranches, with a smaller amount, £133,000 of that money already released under tranche 1 of the Emergency Active Travel Fund (EATF). In tranche 1 the total indicative allocation to NYCC was £266,000 but only 50% funding was awarded following the DfT assessment of our Tranche 1 bid. A proposal to fund the other £133,000 and complete all of the schemes set out in the tranche 1 bid given the importance of the proposed measures to the Covid-19 recovery strategy is the subject of a separate briefing note. The split of tranche 1 funding from the DfT is £4,143 capital and £128,857 revenue. 1.2 Brief feedback about the tranche 1 bid was received from the DfT and they felt that our bid could have focussed more on replacing public transport trips with cycling rather than creating space for walking and cycling in town centre areas. Walking has a much bigger modal share than cycling in our county and we focussed our efforts in aiming to providing such improvements however the DfT felt that we were not able to cause a large enough modal shift from Public Transport.

Conservation in Newcastle upon Tyne City Centre 1959- 1968 Abstract Modernist planning was at its zenith in Britain during the 1960s, after post-war austerity had passed and before disillusion and reaction set in towards the end of the decade and in the 1970s. It is a time often now associated with ‘clean sweep’ planning, where the only constraints on redevelopment were economic and conservation policy was restricted to the preservation of a limited number of major buildings and monuments. This article considers the re-planning of Newcastle City Centre in the period when planning in the city was led by T. Dan Smith and Wilfred Burns, from Smith assuming political control in 1959 to Burns leaving in 1968. It demonstrates that though modernist rationalism was the driving force in the city’s re- planning it co-existed with a conscious policy of conservation, born out of a picturesque design tradition. Weep, Geordie, weep, At the murder of your city; Weep, Geordie, weep, For the vandals have no pity.
