  • On the Disturbances in the District of the Valley of The
    Downloaded from http://pygs.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 28, 2021 mittee, for their kind assistance in making the arrangements for the meeting. The following communications were then made to the Society :— ON THE DISTURBANCES IN THE DISTRICT OP THE VALLEY OF THE DON. BY REV. WM. THORP, OF WOMERSLEY. Upon the last visit of the Society to Sheffield, I had the pleasure of describing some of the geological features of the neighbouring district, and particularly those of the country between Rotherham and Sheffield. I have again taken the liberty of giving a brief mining notice of the disturbances of the same district, because they are not only of such enor­ mous magnitude as to be of great interest to the geologist, but a knowledge of them is necessary to the successful min­ ing operations of that neighbourhood. Upon the former occasion, it was contended by one party that not only were the strata on the North side of the Don elevated above those of the South side, to the amount of 600 yards in vertical height; but that also there had been a horizontal lateral movement of the beds of the North side, in an eastward direction, to the length of five or six miles.^ * The proofs then adduced in support of a lateral movement were—1. That the various beds come from the North, up to the edge of the valley of the Don, but do not preserve their Northerly and Southerly direction across the valley, but are found several miles to the West; e. g.^the Silkstone coal ranges to Dropping Well, near Kimberworth, and is not found at the same depth until we arrive six miles West, at SheflSeld town.

Government Guidance in Planning Policy Statement 12 - Local Spatial Planning states that Local Development Documents must be soundly based in terms of their content and the process by which they are produced. They should be based upon robust, credible evidence. 1.2 This study contributes to this evidence base by examining the distribution of services and facilities across settlements in Bassetlaw. It will help to provide an understanding of how well each settlement serves its local population and identify a clear indication of each settlement's potential to accommodate the needs of any further development. As such, this study can be used by the Council in the determination of planning applications and contribute to a settlement hierarchy for the LDF (in conjunction with

    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume Two PART TWO THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN <2 6 ?- ti.«» *• 3 ^ 268 CHAPTER 14 EXPANSION FROM 1736 IGOSLING) TO 1771 (FAIRBANKS THE TOWN IN 1736 Sheffield in Gosling's 1736 plan was small and relatively compact. Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Beauchief in Sheffield is a beautiful hillside at the foot of which, near the river Sheaf, and on the still wooded south-western fringes of the city, are the remains of the medieval abbey that housed, from the late twelfth century until the Henrician Reformation, Augustinian canons belonging to the Premonstratensian order. Augustinian canonries were generally modest places, although for reasons that have been persuasively advanced by the late Sir Richard Southern, this fact should never obscure the breadth of their significance in the wider history of medieval urban and rural localities: The Augustinian canons, indeed, as a whole, lacked every mark of greatness. They were neither very rich, nor very learned, nor very religious, nor very influential: but as a phenomenon they are very important. They filled a very big gap in the biological sequence of medieval religious houses. Like the ragwort which adheres so tenaciously to the stone walls of Oxford, or the sparrows of the English towns, they were not a handsome species. They needed the proximity of human habitation, and they throve on the contact which repelled more delicate organisms. They throve equally in the near-neighbourhood of a town or a castle. For the well-to-do townsfolk they could provide the amenity of burial-places, memorials and masses for the dead, and schools and confessors of superior standing for the living. For the lords of castles they could provide a staff for the chapel and clerks for the needs of administration. They were ubiquitously useful. They could live on comparatively little, yet expand into affluence without disgrace.

The land was saved for the public of Sheffield by the great philanthropist, Alderman J.G. Graves. The place we see today is the site of the older ‘Norton Park’ which was a famous location as a so-called ‘picturesque’ landscape in the 1700s and 1800s. With its unrivalled views west to the Peak District, the park was famed for its glorious sunsets and was a place to visit for the enlightened society of the time. Together with the Friends of Graves Park group, we have been investigating to re- discover this ‘lost’ parkland. The present phase of work supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund has now closed. Work so far with the Friends of Graves Park, South Yorkshire Biodiversity Research Group, and Sheffield Hallam University has unearthed a rich diversity of evidence and materials relating to the history of the park and its threatened heritage.

  • Sheffield City Council’S Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’S Draft Recommendations on Warding Arrangements for Sheffield
    Sheffield City Council – response to Local Government Boundary Commission for England draft recommendations on warding arrangements for Sheffield 1. Introduction 1.1. This document contains Sheffield City Council’s response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s draft recommendations on warding arrangements for Sheffield. The Council submission represents the view of the majority group, and points of difference with the opposition groups are noted where relevant in the text. Responses from the Liberal Democrat and Green groups are included in full in appendices at Appendix A and Appendix B. The submission also appends the minutes of a specially convened meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Management Committee, and the submissions of community representatives who gave evidence to which have already been sent to you (see Appendix C and D). 1.2. All political groups are largely supportive of the majority of the Commission’s proposals, which largely replicate the proposals put forward by the Council in our response to the consultation on warding arrangements. We do, however, have a number of comments and alternative proposals to address some of the areas where we do not believe that the Commission’s recommendations are satisfactory. 1.3. This response starts by reiterating the Council’s approach to developing our boundary proposals and then addresses the Council’s main point of concern first, followed by the remaining points of difference. 2. Future-proofing Sheffield 2.1. As stated in our submission to the Commission in July 2014, in developing our proposal the Council adhered to the Commission’s statutory criteria, and at the same time sought to propose a scheme of wards which takes into account the potential for significant growth in certain areas of the city and minimises the risk of an early review.
