Introduction Hawksbury Junction has been an important link in the region’s canal network for more than 200 years. The junction is where the Coventry Canal and Oxford Canal meet. The area is also known as Sutton Stop, named after a family who provided lock keepers for the junction over several generations. Sutton Stop is also the name of the road leading to the junction. The Hawkesbury Junction Conservation Area was jointly designated by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council and Coventry City Council in Figure 1: Hawkesbury Junction Conservation Area 1976. A review of the area was undertaken in 1996. It is one of five conservation areas managed by Nuneaton and The administrative boundary runs through the Conservation Bedworth Borough Council. Area with the northern section administered by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council and the southern section by Coventry City Council. As a heritage asset in its own right, planning applications will be assessed against the Conservation Area as a whole. 2.1.2 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)2 (2019) sets out the overarching requirement for local planning authorities to identify and protect areas of special interest (Section 16). 2.1.3 Planning Practice Guidance3 provides further guidance on conserving and enhancing the historic environment. 2.1.4 The Nuneaton and Bedworth Council Borough Plan4 sets out the policies for guiding development within the Borough, including that within conservation areas.

  • Appendix E, Canal Inundation Mapping
    Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council Strategic Flood Risk Assessment - Level 2 Appendix E: Canal Inundation Mapping November 2012 Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council Town Hall Coton Road NUNEATON Warwickshire CV11 5AA This page is intentionally left blank Appendix e.doc I E Canal Inundation Mapping Appendix e.doc II Appendix e.doc III E.1 PDA2a: Scenario 1 Appendix e.doc IV Appendix e.doc V NOTES Canals do not generally pose a direct flood risk as they are a regulated water body. The residual risk from canals tends to be associated with lower probability events such as overtopping and embankment failure. As part of assessing flood risk from the canals, canal breach assessments have been identified based on areas of raised embankments in close proximity to proposed ¯ development sites. These assessments do not take the structural integrity of the embankment into account or quantify a risk of failure. Flooding may occur at any location along the canal system where there is a raised embankment. The mapping is intended to provide an indication of the likely impact of selected failure scenarios. It is not intended that inundation mapping provides a comprehensive analysis of all failure scenarios and further site specific analysis will need to be considered at all sites located within the vicinity of a canal system. Developers should be aware that any site that is at or below canal bank level may be subject to canal flooding and this should be taken into account when building resilience into low level properties Key Plan Legend Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Depth (m) 0 - 0.01 Canal Breach Location Proposed Development Area 0.01 - 0.1 PDA2a 0.1 - 0.5 Principal watercourses 0.5 - 1.0 Other Watercourses 1.0 - 1.5 Coventry Canal 1.5 - 2.0 2.0 - 2.5 2.5 - 4.5 Reproduced from Ordnance Survey mapping with the permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationary Office.

  • Coventry Canal: a Towpath Arts Trail
    AINA CASE STUDY CULTURAL HERITAGE Coventry Canal: a towpath arts trail Three examples of the imaginative artwork and sculpture to be found alongside the towpath in Coventry Britain's longest outdoor art gallery helps interpret local heritage and canal history Like so many urban waterways the Coventry Canal combines industrial heritage and recent development with open spaces and areas of nature conservation interest. The nine kilometre length between Coventry Canal Basin and Hawkesbury Junction, where it meets the Oxford Canal, has seen substantial improvements over the last twenty years, including towpath works, access points, signage and regeneration of derelict sites next to the waterway. A canalside arts trail now compliments these enhancements and the towpath provides the setting for almost 40 installations which have been created by 31 different artists from the UK and overseas. Many of the pieces, which range in scale from small seats to larger than life sculptures, reflect the social and cultural heritage of the canal, and efforts were made to involve local people. Older residents, for example, were invited to share their memories from the days when the canal was a thriving commercial artery. Specific features include a bronze statue of canal engineer James Brindley and a mosaic map of the canal (both located by the Basin), a heritage marker which celebrates the first car factory in the UK, and a sculpture which commemorates the work of the canal navvies through depiction of the simple tools used by the early canal builders. The old local boating families are represented by a couple of steel sculptures which pay tribute to the people who lived and worked on the barges.

The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

A number of new organisations have provided reports and this is very encouraging. However, some organisations continue to provide no report of their work in the area, in particular I know of one which has done work in it on a gas pipeline and a churchyard near where I live. I'm sure there are others. County archaeologists and peers must apply pressure to these defaulters. Through this editorial could I please request that when contract archaeologists do work in an area they make their presence known to the local archaeological society, because it is that society to which the public will address questions about what is going on; it does help archaeology's image if we all seem to be working together.

  • Terms Applying Only to Narrowboats and the Canals
    TERMS APPLYING ONLY TO NARROWBOATS AND THE CANALS By Jeffrey Casciani-Wood A narrowboat or narrowboat is a boat of a distinctive design, built to fit the narrow canals of Great Britain. Wikipedia This glossary covers terms that apply only to narrowboats and their environs and is included because the author firmly believes that the marine surveyor, in order to do his job properly, needs to understand extensively the background and history of the vessel he is surveying. Abutment The supporting or retaining wall of a brick, concrete or masonry structure, particularly where it joins the item (e.g. bridge girder or arch) which it supports. Advanced Electronic means of managing the charge to the batteries from the Alternator engine's alternator(s). Ensures that the batteries are more fully charged Controller and can increase useful battery life. Aegre Tidal bore or wave which is set up by the first of a flood tide as it runs up the river Trent and the word is sometimes spelt Aegir. Air Draught The overall height of a vessel measured from the water line to the highest fixed part of the superstructure. Ait A small island in the upper reaches of the river Thames and the word is sometimes spelt eyot. Anærobes Micro organisms, many exceedingly dangerous to human health, that live in the absence of free oxygen and often to be found in the condensate water settled at the bottom of diesel fuel tanks. Care is required when bleeding a fuel/water separator or when cleaning out fuel tank as their presence can lead to fuel oil problems.
