Our policy information is available from the repository home page. THESIS INTRODUCTION The picture of themselves which the Victorians have handed down to us is of a people who valued morality and respectability, and, perhaps, valued the appearance of it as much as the reality. Perhaps the pursuit of the latter furthered the achievement of the former. They also valued the technological achievements and the revolution in mobility that they witnessed and substantially brought about. Not least did they value the imperial power, formal and informal, that they came to wield over vast tracts of the globe. The intention of the following study is to take these three broad themes which, in the national consciousness, are synonymous with the Victorian age, and examine their applicability to the contemporary theatre, its practitioners, and its audiences. Any capacity to undertake such an investigation rests on the reading for a Bachelor’s degree in History at Warwick, obtained when the University was still abuilding, and an innate if undisciplined attachment to things theatrical, fostered by an elder brother and sister. Such an attachment, to those who share it, will require no elaboration. My special interest will lie in observing how a given theme operated at a particular or local level.

  • 7.4 Stroud District Council Area Rationale Member Support
    7.4 Stroud District Council Area Number of Proposed Divisions: 10 Total Electorate for District in 2010: 90,091 Forecast Electorate for District in 2016: 93,737 Forecast District Average Number of Electors per 9,374 Councillor in 2016: Forecast County Average Number of Electors per 9,220 Councillor in 2016: % Co-terminosity with District Wards 80% Rationale A major constraint in drawing up the proposals for the Stroud division is the geographical position of Wotton-under-Edge. Forming a new division of about 9300 in the south west of the district has a large knock-on effect for the whole southern part, at least, and can produce what looks like odd-shaped boundaries. However, for the most part, the new divisions are coherent, mostly based on current divisions and achieve a high coterminosity of 80%. Member Support The proposals for the Stroud District Council area are supported by councillors from all political groups.

  • Gsia Projects in Support of the Restoration of the Stroudwater Canal
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2006 pages 3-11 GSIA PROJECTS IN SUPPORT OF THE RESTORATION OF THE STROUDWATER CANAL Ray Wilson One of the first excursions made by the newly formed GSIA in 1964 was to the Stroudwater and Thames & Severn Canals. Our leader was Humphrey Household who published his detailed history of the Thames & Severn Canal in 1969. Similar walks held over the years have always drawn a good attendance. Indeed, many of our members are also members of the Cotswold Canals Trust which has for more than thirty years (under different names) vigorously promoted the restoration of the two canals. Through a combination of practical work and campaigning the Canals Trust have kept alive thoughts of a full restoration of both waterways. They were rewarded in 2001 when The Cotswold Canals Partnership was formed to build on the work already carried out by volunteers and to drive restoration plans forward. The project to restore the Cotswold Canals is planned to be undertaken in phases: • The restoration of the Stroudwater Navigation from Stonehouse to Stroud and 4km of the Thames & Severn from Stroud to Brimscombe Port and the establishment of a walking trail to Saul Junction (phase 1A) • Restoration of the Stroudwater Navigation between Stonehouse and Saul Junction (phase 1B) • The restoration of the Thames & Severn Canal from the Thames at Inglesham to the Cotswold Water Park running close to Cricklade • The creation of a walking trail along the entire length of the Thames & Severn Canal between Brimscombe and Inglesham • Connecting the Cotswold Canals to Swindon through the North Wilts Canal • Restoring the Thames & Severn Canal from Brimscombe to Sapperton Tunnel west portal and from Sapperton Tunnel east portal to the Cotswold Water Park • Restoring the 3.6km (2¼-mile) Sapperton Tunnel In January 2006, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) formally awarded £11.9 million towards phase 1A of the restoration.
