Environmentol Protection Report WATER QUALITY MONITORING
5k Environmentol Protection Report WATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 April 1992 FW P/9 2/ 0 0 1 Author: B Steele Technicol Assistant, Freshwater NRA National Rivers Authority CVM Davies South West Region Environmental Protection Manager HATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 _ . - - TECHNICAL REPORT NO: FWP/92/001 The maps in this report indicate the monitoring locations for the 1992 Regional Water Quality Monitoring Programme which is described separately. The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c. -

Crownhill Fort, Plymouth Devon, Pl6
CROWNHILL FORT, PLYMOUTH DEVON, PL6 5BX Trail Answers and Explanatory Notes for Parents and Teachers Children’s Answers are in Bold . Further information is for interest and discussion. Forts were built around each of the major harbours and dockyards in Southern England in the 19 th Century in response to a period of increasing threat from France following Napoleon Bonaparte’s nephew Napoleon III declaring himself Emperor of France in 1852. Crownhill Fort is the largest of the forts, built between 1863 and 1872, and commands one of Plymouth’s highest points. It is well-hidden and from even a short distance away appears as just a wooded hilltop. There are however four fighting levels with placements for 32 cannons and 6 mortars, nearly half a mile of tunnels, and accommodation for 300 soldiers and 6 officers. The fort continued in use as a military site until 1986 and has since been in the care of The Landmark Trust. 1 THE GUN SHEDS The light guns on carriages were used to add to the artillery at poorly armed forts . The Land-Service Mortars were out of date by 1872. The other similar sheds were stables for the horses that pulled the gun carriages. The 8” Howitzers that replaced the Mortars were heavy artillery guns that fired an 8” (approximately 20cm) diameter shell. 2 LIGHTING Gas, Oil, and Candle lighting were all used in various parts of the Fort. None of these lights would have been particularly bright so at night the Fort would have been quite a gloomy place. Electric lighting was a much later addition.
