  • England Coast Path Stretch Report

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 2.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • The Story of a Man Called Daltone
    - The Story of a Man called Daltone - “A semi-fictional tale about my Dalton family, with history and some true facts told; or what may have been” This story starts out as a fictional piece that tries to tell about the beginnings of my Dalton family. We can never know how far back in time this Dalton line started, but I have started this when the Celtic tribes inhabited Britain many yeas ago. Later on in the narrative, you will read factual information I and other Dalton researchers have found and published with much embellishment. There also is a lot of old English history that I have copied that are in the public domain. From this fictional tale we continue down to a man by the name of le Sieur de Dalton, who is my first documented ancestor, then there is a short history about each successive descendant of my Dalton direct line, with others, down to myself, Garth Rodney Dalton; (my birth name) Most of this later material was copied from my research of my Dalton roots. If you like to read about early British history; Celtic, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Knight's, Kings, English, American and family history, then this is the book for you! Some of you will say i am full of it but remember this, “What may have been!” Give it up you knaves! Researched, complied, formated, indexed, wrote, edited, copied, copy-written, misspelled and filed by Rodney G. Dalton in the comfort of his easy chair at 1111 N – 2000 W Farr West, Utah in the United States of America in the Twenty First-Century A.D.

  • THE CHURCHES of LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION to the LANDSCAPE by P
    Contrebis 2000 THE CHURCHES OF LANCASTER -THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE LANDSCAPE by P. Gedge A dominant image of Lancaster is of the parish church standing on the hill overlooking the town, alongside the castle - symbolising that union of church and state which characterised medieval Christendom. The Romans seem to have been the first to grasp the strategic importance of this site and constructed a fort c.80 AD. A small town developed below and Church Street still marks the line of the road from the east gate. Some time after the Roman empire collapsed Christians began worshipping in the fort area, as happened elsewhere such as York. Exactly when the first Christian church was built on Castle Hill is not clear. Some claim c630. Fragments of Anglian crosses and remains of a pre-Nornan church survive with a simple Saxon doorway in the west end of the existing church. So a stone church has held this commanding position in Lancaster's townscape for over a thousand years. In 1094 this church was given by Roger of Poitou, to the Abbey of St Martin of Seez and Benedictine monks from there founded a Priory with residential buildings. In 1428 this was transferred to the Convent of Sion in Middlesex and the church became the Parish Church of one of those large parishes typical of Lancashire. The present building which so dominates the skyline, is principally a fifteenth century rebuilding with a high tower rebuilt in 'Gothick' style in 1754. Only two other medieval ecclesiastical buildings are recorded in Lancaster as the town remained small.

    North West Coastal Trail - Concept Feasibility Study NORTH WEST COASTAL TRAIL - CONCEPT FEASIBILITY STUDY Prepared by - Peter Scott Planning Services Ltd. for - The North West Coastal Forum with funding support from - North West Development Agency April 2003 Peter Scott Planning Services Ltd. 1 North West Coastal Trail - Concept Feasibility Study NORTH WEST COASTAL TRAIL : CONCEPT FEASIBILITY STUDY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Concept Feasibility Study The Feasibility Study assesses the potential for a North West Coastal Trail and provides recommendations for its future development and management. It was prepared for the North West Coastal Forum and funded by the North West Development Agency. This Executive Summary highlights key findings of the Study. A. The Feasibility Assessments The feasibility assessments included reviews of public policies, the environmental context, current paths, other routes and associate facilities, and potential user markets. These assessments indicate that - a. the concept of a Coastal Trail, from Chester to Carlisle, for multi-day, day and part-day walking and cycling, and, where feasible, riding and all-abilities use, is ambitious - but can bring a variety of benefits b. the Trail can help to achieve public policy agendas, such as sustainable travel, recreation and tourism, environmental and economic regeneration, and community health c. the landscapes, topography and natural, cultural and built heritage of the North West’s coast and coastal settlements are major strengths of the proposed Trail. However, it will pass through extensive urban areas, including some poorer quality environments d. parts of the Trail will differ markedly from other coastal paths and are likely to appeal to different users than traditional long-distance walkers e.
