  • Reason for Closure
    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Oakengates branch is closing on Friday 17 April 2020 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Oakengates branch is closing: • The number of transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 85% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone. • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 27% since 2012. • In the past 12 months, 70% of this branch's customers have been using neighbouring branches. • We've identified that only 105 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch with Adrian Davies, your Market Director for Local West.

This updated plan was produced by analysing answers to the questionnaire distributed to each household in March 2013. Of the 91 questionnaires distributed, 59 were completed and returned. The Shropshire Rural Community Council (RCC) carried out an independent analysis of the results using computer software specifically designed for this purpose. The Parish Plan is also published on the Withington website www.withingtonshropshire.co.uk 3 Withington 2008 Parish Plan: Review of progress Progress was determined by asking Parishioners to indicate their level of satisfaction as to whether the 8 objectives contained in the 2008 Parish Plan had been achieved (see table below) OBJECTIVE ACHIEVEMENTS HOUSING AND Oppose any further housing or commer- • All housing/commercial development applications have COMMERCIAL cial development.

For Victorian and later writers the Watt steam engine became synonymous with industrial growth and progress in Britain. Today Muirhead’s biographies remain the major source for scholars of James Watt, his life and achievements. Muirhead was born in Lanarkshire in 1813 the son of Lockhart Muirhead who was principle librarian and regius professor of natural history in Glasgow University. His maternal grandmother was the first cousin of James Watt. Muirhead was educated in Glasgow College and later Balliol College, Oxford, practising law in Edinburgh for eight years before moving to Haseley Court in Oxfordshire. In 1844 Muirhead married Katharine Elizabeth, daughter of Matthew Robinson Boulton and granddaughter of Matthew Boulton, the manufacturer and entrepreneur. During his time at Oxford Muirhead became acquainted with James Watt, jnr who later requested Muirhead to write the memoir of his father.

  • The Hay Inclined Plane in Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England): Geometric Modeling and Virtual Reconstruction
    S S symmetry Article The Hay Inclined Plane in Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England): Geometric Modeling and Virtual Reconstruction José Ignacio Rojas-Sola 1,* and Eduardo De la Morena-De la Fuente 2 1 Department of Engineering Graphics, Design and Projects, University of Jaén, Campus de las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén, Spain 2 Research Group ‘Engineering Graphics and Industrial Archaeology’, University of Jaén, Campus de las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-953-212452 Received: 9 April 2019; Accepted: 22 April 2019; Published: 24 April 2019 Abstract: This article shows the geometric modeling and virtual reconstruction of the inclined plane of Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England) that was in operation from 1792 to 1894. This historical invention, work of the Englishman William Reynolds, allowed the transportation of boats through channels located at different levels. Autodesk Inventor Professional software has been used to obtain the 3D CAD model of this historical invention and its geometric documentation. The material for the research is available on the website of the Betancourt Project of the Canary Orotava Foundation for the History of Science. Also, because the single sheet does not have a scale, it has been necessary to adopt a graphic scale so that the dimensions of the different elements are coherent. Furthermore, it has been necessary to establish some dimensional, geometric, and movement restrictions (degrees of freedom) so that the set will work properly. One of the main conclusions is that William Reynolds designed a mechanism seeking a longitudinal symmetry so that, from a single continuous movement, the mechanism allows two vessels to ascend and descend simultaneously.
