  • The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE
    The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE BRABER Investigating feelings of identity in East Midlands adolescents Introduction When considering dialectal variation in the UK, linguists have frequently considered the North/South divide and the linguistic markers separating the two regions (see for example Trudgill, 1999; Wells, 1986). But it has been noted that this is not a straightforward division (e.g. Beal, 2008; Goodey, Gold, Duffett & Spencer, 1971; Montgomery, 2007; Wales, 2002). There are clear stereotypes for the North and South – but how do areas like the East Midlands fit into the picture? The boundaries between North and South are defined in different ways. Beal’s linguistic North does not include the East Midlands (Beal, 2008: 124- 5), neither does Wales’ (2002: 48). Trudgill states that in traditional dialectology the East Midlands area falls under ‘Central’ dialects, which come under the ‘Southern’ branch, but in modern dialectology it falls in the ‘North’. Hughes, Trudgill and Watt (2005: 70) contains a map which has the East Midlands in the North. Linguistically, the question has been raised whether there is a clear North/South boundary (see for example Upton (2012) where it is proposed that it is a transition zone). This paper revisits this question from the point of view of young people living in the East Midlands, to examine their sense of identity and whether this cultural divide is salient to them. The East Midlands is a problematic area in its definition geographically, and people may have difficulty in relating this to their own sense of identity.

  • England's Motorway Services Show Star Quality
    England’s Motorway Services show star quality 9 March 2015: Top 5* star ratings have been awarded to seven Motorway Service Stations from across the country as part of VisitEngland’s Motorway Service Area Quality Scheme. Whether travelling for business or leisure, Service Stations provide important stopping points for people visiting an area and this experience can add to the overall enjoyment of the trip. As National Tourist Board for England, VisitEngland assesses the quality of service and customer experience at service stations across the country to help encourage a high quality experience for all travellers. Five leading operators took part in this year’s quality scheme - Extra, Moto, Welcome Break, Roadchef and Westmorland, who collectively own 107 sites across England. A further 42 services will received a 4 Star rating and the remaining 58 services are rated as 3 Star. As part of the Scheme, VisitEngland Assessors anonymously visited all the operators’ individual sites twice over the last 12 months and completed a thorough quality report. On each visit, the Assessor looks at the whole of the customer journey, from initial arrival right through to the use of facilities, retail and catering outlets, to departure. The sites’ service stations are assessed on the quality of catering, cleanliness, staff, food, forecourt, retail, service, toilet facilities and overall site – which can include anything from the baby changing, coach parking space or facilities for dogs. Top 5* ratings have been awarded to the following Motorway Service stations: Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Beaconsfield achieved an overall score of 90 per cent which means that Junction 2 of M40, Extra the services has now progressed from 4* to 5* in the last 12 months.

  • Self Guided Walk for Historic Borough Hill
    Self guided walk to the early history of Borough Hill Daventry . Welcome to Borough Hill. It is a British Heritage protected site managed by Daventry DC. This walk has been produced by the museum service at Daventry Town Council. Some of the artifacts excavated from the hill are in the museum collection. The walk starts from the car park at the main entrance to the hill and will take you between one and two hours to complete. Go through the pedestrian gate at the side of the cattle grid onto the trodden down path. The walk goes anti clockwise around the hill. A reasonably flat and sometimes gravelled path goes right around the hill and the walk can be completed without leaving the path although there are optional diversions. A bit about the natural history. Borough Hill is an acid grass land and as such is nutrient deficient and heath like. On it there are badger sets and rabbit warrens and no doubt foxes hunt it. In the winter you can see the mouse and field vole runs in the grass stems. Birds include the blue woodpecker and buzzards hunt the area. There are also carrion crows, jackdaws and rooks. It is an important site for Skylarks, which you can see rising vertically from the grass whilst singing a warning call. These are ground nesting birds and between April to September please keep to defined paths so as not to disturb the nests of what is now a declining species. The trees are most probably a plantation to be seen as a landscape feature from Norton Hall.

  • Crick in 1700 Part 4
    Crick in 1700 Part 4 1 Our present-day pattern of roads is generally BO familiar that a second thought is seldom given to the possibility of its having been substantially different in the past, yet such was the case in this part of Northamptonshire only 200 years ago. Today, Crick lies on the main road from Northampton to Coventry via Rugby or Dunchurch, with side roads to Yelvertoft and Watford, a lane to Kilsby and a field road, which starts towards Lilbourne, only to peter out. The Watling Street runs northwards along the western boundary of the parish, a legacy from the Roman occupation and in use since then, although a length of 2^- miles north from Watford Gap has been derelict since the middle of the last century. Within recent years, an ugly swathe has been cut parallel to it across the parish for the M1 motorway (names are out of fashion nowadays). The Northampton road became an effective through route only from about 1750 when a turnpike road was made up, following the Act of 1738/9. The roads to Yelvertoft and Watford, as well as the Kilsby lane were laid down at the Inclosures of 1776, and although the Lilbourne way was also laid out then, it has since gone out of use past Shenley. These Inclosure roads were ruled on a map, so that they can be recognised readily by their long straight lengths. When the canals were cut towards the close of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries, and again when the railways were made in the middle of the 19th, some of these roads had to be diverted locally, obliterating parts of their original course and disturbing their straightness.

  • Borough Hill Daventry -Civil War
    Borough Hill Daventry -Civil war Welcome to Borough Hill. It is a British Heritage protected site managed by Daventry DC. There’s no charge for the walk but I would welcome donations for the Mayor’s Charities - Home Start and The Friends of Danetre Hospital which you can send to the Town Council. From the car park go through the squeeze exit. Turn left and walk up along the fence until you get to the second grass track and walk up it and walk right around the building until you get to the part metalled track. This is your route, follow the direction of the green arrows. Use the purple route to avoid using gate latches. You can of course leave the route to look at other things on the hill. Here’s some background to read as you walk. Borough Hill is run as a Country Park by Daventry District Council is an acid grass land and as such is nutrient deficient and heath like. In the Jurassic period 150 to 200 million years ago it was in the tropics. Sand, sediment, and shells eventually formed the sandstone; travelling north to where it is today. Obvious remains on the hill belong to the Iron Age when there were two hill forts. The first contour fort possibly following a Bronze Age enclosure. The Bronze Age enclosure is not thought to have been a fort. It likely enclosed animal pastures and homes or was a meeting place for the surrounding area. You will also see the BBC and the brick-built GEE bomber guidance station.

  • Construction Impacts on Motorway Interchanges
    HIGH SPEED UK : CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS ON MOTORWAY INTERCHANGES Introduction Massive road traffic disruption and associated major construction difficulties at motorway interchanges have always been cited as one of the key arguments against any proposed high speed rail route aligned along the M1 corridor. Whilst no study has ever been published to substantiate this claim, it has gained general acceptance as a primary reason for rejecting the M1 corridor in favour of the selected route for HS2 through the Chilterns. Development of detailed horizontal and vertical alignment designs for the M1-aligned High Speed UK proposals now allows the assertion of insuperable difficulties at interchanges to be rigorously tested. This paper reviews the proposed HSUK alignments at all of the 21 M1 interchanges and 5 service areas between London and Lutterworth, to determine the nature and extent of the asserted difficulties. Information Considered 1:25,000 scale plans have been developed to cover the full extent (circa 1,000km ) of proposed HSUK new build route, from London to Liverpool and Glasgow. This has allowed both horizontal and vertical alignments to be designed for the proposed high speed line. Extracts from this mapping are presented below, in the case studies relating to each interchange. Technical Challenges presented at Motorway Interchanges The M1 was constructed along the primary national transport corridor, followed by Romans (Watling Street), canal builders (Grand Union Canal) and railway builders (London & Birmingham Railway, now West Coast Main Line) alike. In terms of the topography encountered en route, it is by far the most favourable route between London and the Midlands (this contrasts sharply with the Chiltern-aligned M40, constructed in much more difficult terrain).
