Sadly, we cannot acknowledge them all, and to identify a few would be unfair on many others. They range from full-time conservationists to enthusiastic householders. Our grateful thanks to them all. The production of the species accounts has truly been a team effort; Paul Curry, originally for a report on Black Country Mammals, carried out a broad literature review and compilation of information that was an invaluable starting point for the project. A few late addition species were researched by the editor, and Simon Phipps compiled most of the information on bats. Further comment and advice was received from Andrew Crawford, Chris Parry, Dave Haslam, Tim Moughtin, Helen Griffiths, Nick Grayson, John Needle, Paul Stephenson, Sara Carvalho, John Gerrard, Stefan Bodnar, Phil Burkinshaw among others, including members of the Birmingham and Black Country Mammal Group. Ultimate responsibility for the accuracy of the text remains, alas, with the editor. Printing of the Atlas was supported by a grant from English Nature and donations from individuals. These 100 are gratefully acknowledged. 100 95 Original illustrations were produced by Jeremy Wyatt, with additional drawings provided by English 95 Nature, the Wildlife Trusts and the Bat Conservation Trust. Photography was by Mike Hamett, Hugh Clark 75 and Paul Glendell, all courtesy of English Nature. Again, our thanks to them all. 75 Finally, thank you to Derek Yalden for his preface. 25 25 5 5 0 0 100 100 95 Preface 95 75 75 25 25 I am very pleased to be able to write a preface to this Atlas, 5 particularly in view of its appreciation of Bunny Teagle=s 5 Endless Village. He was the Mammal Recorder for the 0 0 London Natural History Society when I was an undergraduate over 40 years ago. His lecture to the nascent University of London Natural History Society initiated me into recording mammals (as well as reptiles and amphibians) on a one-kilometre square basis, and started me on the distribution surveys that have kept me enjoying weekend natural history ever since. As a very early, if not quite founder, member of The Mammal Society, he also introduced me to that Society, and encouraged my early participation in national atlases. From an early start, a provisional national atlas that was published in 1971, national mammal recording has been celebrated in national atlases in 1978 and 1993, but has been sadly neglected since, despite some excellent dedicated national surveys (of otters and water voles, for example). However, such national surveys have stimulated much local activity, and it is rewarding to see local atlases, such as this, appearing. It is clear that much progress has been made - the examples of the fox, grey squirrel and pipistrelle here show well what can be achieved. On the other hand, I would be surprised if moles and rabbits were not rather more widespread than the maps presently show. It would be valuable to be able to show the extent to which these two have been pushed out by spreading urbanisation; both are readily recordable, familiar mammals, so here is an immediate challenge to which all mammal recorders can respond! Recording small mammals and rarer bats is always hard, and it is unlikely that their true distribution can be readily revealed, but even their relative abundances and habitat preferences can be indicated by enough local records. This is an excellent start - carry on the good work! D.W. Yalden President, The Mammal Society 2 September 2003 100 100 95 95 75 75 t t a y W 25 y 25 m e 5 r 5 e J 0 2 0 100 100 95 Introduction 95 75 75 25 25 It is ironic that the fox, symbol of the rural/urban divide, is 5 now more abundant in cities than the countryside. Yet, as this 5 Atlas demonstrates, a remarkable proportion of the UK’s 0 0 wild mammals are to be found within Birmingham and the Black Country. From the red deer to the tiny harvest mouse and pygmy shrew there is remarkable diversity, and the situation is changing all the time. In the past fifty years the grey squirrel has replaced the red squirrel in our parks, yet in e the last ten or fifteen years polecats and otters have returned r u t to the area. The familiar pipistrelle bat has been ‘split’ into a N two species, both found here. Intensive survey work has h s demonstrated that the conurbation’s many waterways i l g support a nationally significant population of water voles, n E / and their future fortunes may be closely tied up with those of l l e both mink and otters reported at the edges of the area. d n e For those involved with urban nature conservation it seems l G Fox l remarkable that, aside from Richard Fitter’s remarkable u a Natural History of London, cities and towns were effectively P written off in wildlife terms for most of the twentieth century. places, it is supported by a partnership of over 50 Then in the late 1970’s, W. ‘Bunny’ Teagle reported on the organisations.

  • Black Country Urban Park Barometer
    3333333 Black Country Urban Park Barometer April 2013 DRAFT WORK IN PROGRESS Welcome to the Black Country Urban Park Barometer. Transformation of the Environmental Infrastructure is one of the key to drivers identified in the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness. The full report looks at the six themes created under the ‘Urban Park’ theme and provides a spatial picture of that theme accompanied with the key assets and opportunities for that theme. Foreword to be provided by Roger Lawrence The Strategic Context Quality of the Black Country environment is one of the four primary objectives of the Black Country Vision that has driven the preparation of the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness through the Black Country Study process. The environment is critical to the health and well-being of future residents, workers and visitors to the Black Country. It is also both a major contributor to, and measure of, wider goals for sustainable development and living as well as being significantly important to the economy of the region. The importance and the desire for transforming the Black Country environment has been reinforced through the evidence gathering and analysis of the Black Country Study process as both an aspiration in its own right and as a necessity to achieve economic prosperity. Evidence from the Economic and Housing Studies concluded that ‘the creation of new environments will be crucial for attracting investment from high value-added firms’ and similarly that ‘a high quality healthy environment is a priority for ‘knowledge workers’. The Economic Strategy puts ‘Environmental Transformation’ alongside Education & Skills as the fundamental driver to achieve Black Country economic renaissance and prosperity for its people.

    St Francis of Assisi Catholic Technology College Headteacher: Mrs P. Mullins, B.A. (Hons), M.A. SCHOOL TRANSPORT INFORMATION School Year 2010 - 2011 Erdington Road, Aldridge, Walsall, WS9 0RN tel: 01922 740300 fax: 01922 740330 www.stfrancis.cc [email protected] Welcome to the School Transport Information. Parents who use or intend to use school transport should take the time to read this document thoroughly paying particular attention to the information on bus passes. More than 900 of our students travel to school by either school or public transport each day. Every morning before 9 a.m. and every afternoon at 3.15 p.m, 12 buses, double- deckers and coaches and 3 taxis solely devoted to school transport arrive on the school drive. In addition a number of students use regular service buses outside the school on the Erdington Road and in Aldridge. The school experiences relatively few problems with transport. Students should aim to arrive in the morning at their designated stop at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled arrival of the bus. If a school coach or bus does not turn up on time in the morning students should wait for at least 30 minutes. Sometimes delays occur due to traffic or weather, but the coach / bus will almost always turn up eventually. If a student misses the bus it is the parents' responsibility to make alternative ar- rangements. All services will pick up and set down at any recognised bus stop on the route. Stu- dents should put their hands out to signal the bus to stop.

A page from Sedgley Manor Court Books, dated 2nd Sept. 1729, showing an inventory of the effects, goods and chattels taken on the death of widow Ann Turton (died 6th Feb. 1728). Inventories such as this often accompanied wills at this date, and are a window into the lives of our ancestors, as they list personal and everyday household items alongside other property. They can exist even where no last will or testament was made. The inventory itself is written in English, though at this date the rest of the wording was still in Latin. A document pertaining to a transfer of a half share in the profits arising from tolls collected for the Sedgley 'Old Line of Road' between Sarah Hall and Abel Fletcher, dated 3rd January 1856. Sarah Hall was the widow of Benjamin Hall, a wheelwright and barrow maker who died in 1851 aged just 39. They had been renting a cottage near the corner of Bilston Street and High Street from Abel Fletcher who had his steam flour mill there. Sarah evidently owned a half share in the interest from the tolls, while Mary Ann Sherwood named in the deed (a relative of Sarah's husband) owned the other half share.
