The main event of the year of course is the Tall Ships Festival held during the Spring Bank Holiday weekend of May. A busy weekend during which I hope to see the Friends helping to make it a great success. The Friends of course have events arranged throughout the season, the first is on 24th April when we have a talk about our very own Queen Boadicea II and her role in the evacuation of Dunkirk in May 1940. Recently I was invited to attend a staff meeting at the museum and came away feeling confident that plans were being made to make the museum one of Gloucester’s premier visitor attractions. Should permission be granted plans are in place to have outside seating in front of the museum entrance as somewhere for visitors to enjoy their drinks and nibbles, plus the area enhanced with a colourful display of flowers in containers.

  • RESEARCHING the LEOMINSTER CANAL Paper 2 : SURVEYS
    THE WOOLHOPE NATURALISTS’ FIELD CLUB (ARCHAEOLOGY RESEARCH PAPERS) RESEARCHING THE LEOMINSTER CANAL Paper 2 : SURVEYS ( The Route & Landscape ) Recalling the Survey of 1789 by Thomas Dadford Junior (described by Gerry Calderbank) 3 4 Thomas Dadford’s Route . its Landscape and Physiography Physiography - “the science of the surface of the earth, and the interrelations of air, water and land” - is a little used word nowadays, but it has a precise meaning that seems useful in this context, because here we’re mainly considering the superficial landforms through which Dadford and his contemporaries routed their canals. The word ‘physiography’ was then in common usage, whereas geology was still in its infancy and probably not even named as such in Dadford’s day, whereas the subject matter had long been of interest to some scientists, philosophers, and certain theologians. People with such interests were then usually known either as ‘cosmographers’ or ‘cosmogonists’ at the time - depending upon their background and particular aspect of concern with this branch of ‘Natural Philosophy’. When superficial landforms are further considered in relation to the underlying solid geology, then it’s customary to refer to the subject as geomorphology. Whilst the importance of the physiography is probably self evident with roads and canals, in this instance there are sound reasons for separating the solid geology because, as this relates to our study, the rocks have much greater significance as and when we come to consider the Mamble and Pensax colliery districts - and the tunneling of course! Kington to Kingsland: The proposed route starts near the site of a former Kington railway station, not in the main Arrow valley but on a major tributary, the Gilwern Brook (alias the ‘Back Brook’), with the actual river confluence being some little distance downstream (SO 308 572).

ABSTRACT This thesis tested a methodology for tracing eighteenth- and nineteenth-century migrants, based on the Cambridge Group reconstitution methods. It began with a sample from Whitbourne parish in the under-researched county of Herefordshire, investigating the effect of regional urbanisation and industrialisation on migration choices. Longitudinal family dispersal patterns were traced, and comparisons were made with studies in other regions. The method focused on out-migration, setting spatial mobility in its wider context, and increasing its representativeness by incorporating additional search strategies for less visible groups, including married women. A high tracing rate was achieved, and the method is proposed as a viable tool for analysing migration from small rural parishes which are considered unsuitable for conventional reconstitution studies. The west midlands industrial areas were not apparently a destination for this population until the second quarter of the nineteenth century, but there were early migrants to Worcester, London, and later to Cheltenham, Cheshire and elsewhere, especially for domestic service and urban service trades.

  • Institution of Civil Engineers Panel for Historical Engineering Works
    INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS PANEL FOR HISTORICAL ENGINEERING WORKS INLAND WATERWAYS SUB-PANEL LIST OF INLAND WATERWAYS This list, which contains the names of known canals and river navigations in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, has been prepared from a large number of secondary sources. In the case of river navigations, the word ‘River’ follows the name. Where a waterway has been registered by the Panel for Historical Engineering Works as an Historical Engineering Work (HEW), the HEW number is given after the name of the waterway. Following the name of the waterway there is, where applicable, a list of structures registered as HEWs which are situated on the waterway. For nearly all the inland waterways named in the list information has been recorded in the PHEW Inland Waterways Database. For further information about individual waterways contact in the first instance Claire Delgal. Names in Italics denote cross references to alternative names etc. This list currently contains 449 names and was last updated on 4th October 2001 © The Institution of Civil Engineers 2001 ENGLAND & WALES Aberdare Canal Adelphi Canal Adur River Aike Beck Aire & Calder Navigation (294) Stanley Ferry Aqueduct (191) Alde and Ore River Alford Canal Ancholme Drainage & Navigation (844) Andover Canal Ant River Arbury (Newdigate) Canals Seeswood Reservoir (1730) Arram Beck Arun River Ashby de la Zouch Canal (1976) Snarestone Tunnel Shenton Aqueduct Ashton Canal Avon Navigation, Lower Avon Navigation, Upper Clopton Bridge, Stratford (679) Tramway Bridge, Stratford
