Watching Brief Corbett, S & E Brighton : Brighton & Hove Archaeological Society Field Unit, 2005, 3pp, colour pls, figs Work undertaken by: Brighton & Hove Archaeological Society Field Unit The site had been spare ground for many years, and it was proposed to build a garage on it. The vegetation had been removed already. The soil was removed over an area of 12.7x 10.5 metres. The depth of soil varied from 1m at the rear of the plot to only a few centimetres along the wall at the pavement edge. Once the natural chalk was exposed, a change of texture and colour could be seen looking like a ditch. A section was cut through the ditch and it proved to be a modern soakaway. No other features were seen, nor were there any finds.

Aintree is Britain’s first Beacon Racecourse, and in the first 12 months of a two-year pilot run by Racing To School, the charity responsible for delivering education programmes through the sport, around 1,500 children have had access to the world-famous venue, of whom at least 30 per cent had never previously visited a racecourse. Almost all the youngsters, whose ages range from nine to 16, will have another year’s experience of a programme that Aintree Chairman Rose Paterson describes as “fundamental to our link with the community,” and to which John Baker, North-West Stand-out occasions in 2015 ranged from 70 local Regional Director for Jockey Club Racecourses, schoolchildren singing the National Anthem on Grand adds: “This is our way of giving something back to National day to four events carried out in partnership local people, encouraging them to become part of the with Everton FC and Riding for the Disabled, with former racecourse, to see what we do.” jockey Carrie Ford, who works for the Racing Together team, extending her Beacon project involvement to Baker is in no doubt about what Beacon status means share the experience of finishing fifth on Forest Gunner for Aintree.

  • Botolph's Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West And
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 G (Botolph’s Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West, and Nickolls Quarry) The tetrad TR13 G contains a number of major local hotspots, with Nickolls Quarry, the Botolph’s Bridge area and part of Hythe Ranges located within its boundaries. As a consequence the tetrad has the richest diversity of breeding birds in the local area, with 71 species having a status of at least possible in the latest BTO Atlas survey. It also had the highest total of species (125) in the winter Atlas survey. Sadly a major housing development is now in progress at the Nickolls Quarry site and much of the best habitat is now being disturbed or lost. Nickolls Quarry has been watched since the late 1940s, though early coverage was patchy, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. As a working quarry the site has undergone significant changes during this time, expanding from two small pits to a much larger area of open water, some of which has since been backfilled. During 2001 to 2004 a series of shallow pools were created which proved particularly attractive to waders. Nickolls Quarry in 1952 Nickolls Quarry in 1998 Looking roughly northwards across the 'old pit' Looking south-west across the site towards the Hythe Roughs towards Dungeness Although a major housing development is underway on the site it still contains some interesting habitats. The lake is easily the largest area of open water in the local area and so remains one of the best areas for wildfowl, particularly during cold weather, for example in December 2010 when there were peak counts of 170 Wigeon, 107 Coot, 104 Pochard, 100 Teal, 53 Tufted Duck, 34 Gadwall, 18 Mute Swan, 12 Pintail, 10 Bewick’s Swan, 8 Shoveler, singles of Goldeneye and Goosander, and 300 White-fronted Geese flew over.
