  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • History 1890 – 1966
    A HISTORY OF GLOUCESTER HARBOUR TRUSTEES By W. A. Stone Clerk to the Trustees 1958 -1966 PART 1 1890 - 1966 CONTENTS Chapter Page 1 Origin, Constitution and Membership, with details of Navigational Aids erected prior to the incorporation of the Gloucester Harbour Trustees on 5 July 1890 3 2 Navigational Aids 20 3 Finances 39 4 Spanning the Severn Estuary 51 5 New Works and other installation in the Severn Estuary 56 6 Stranding of Vessels and other Incidents 61 7 Northwick Moorings 71 8 Officers and Staff 74 1 FOREWORD In compiling this History I have endeavoured to give the reasons for the appointment of a body of Trustees to control a defined area of the Severn Estuary, and to tell of the great amount of work undertaken by the Trustees and the small staff in administering the requirements of the 1890 Act. It is probable that I have given emphasis to the erection and upkeep of the Navigational Aids, but it must be realised that this was the main requirement of the Act, to ensure that the Trustees, as a Harbour authority, disposed of their income in a manner which was calculated to benefit the navigation of the Severn Estuary. A great deal of research has been necessary and the advice and assistance given to me by the present Officers, and by others who held similar posts in the past, is greatly appreciated. Without their help the task would have been much more formidable. W A Stone Clerk to the Trustees December 1966 2 Chapter One ORIGIN, CONSTITUTION AND MEMBERSHIP WITH DETAILS OF NAVIGATIONAL AIDS ERECTED PRIOR TO THE INCORPORATION OF THE GLOUCESTER HARBOUR TRUSTEES ON 5 JULY 1890 To obtain the reasons for the constitution of a body of Trustees to control a defined area of the River Severn, it is necessary to go back to the year 1861.

For the Festival Players, one of Britain’s top touring theatre companies, is marking its 22nd year with a pacy performance that will certainly keep audiences guessing. This year they have chosen to perform Shakespeare’s pastoral romantic comedy As You Like It – one of Shakespeare’s greatest crowd pleasers. Set in the Forest of Arden all kinds of antics are going on – from amorous advances to clowning, disguise and gender reversals! And the Players will be giving audiences even more of a conundrum - by fielding an all male cast! The Gloucestershire-based Festival Players will tour the UK with an exclusively male cast between May 31 and August 27, stopping at the spectacular Italianate Culzean Castle & Country Park on June 26 – one of many National Trust for Scotland properties at which they perform this summer Touchstone & Audrey Rosalind/|Ganymede, Celia/Aliena, Orlando Phebe & Silvius Rosalind, Duke Frederick, Celia The Players, who set out to deliver high class open-air (and occasionally indoor) theatre and make Shakespeare accessible to all, will stage more than 60 performances of the famous play across England, Scotland and Wales – at English country houses, abbeys, parks and village greens to wonderful Welsh gardens like Aberglasney and dramatic Scottish castles including, for the first time, the royal residence of Balmoral.

  • Forest of Dean & Wye Valley Self Catering Holidays
    FOREST OF DEAN & WYE VALLEY SELF CATERING HOLIDAYS Stank Farm, known to some locals as 'the stank', is situated in the picturesque village of Clearwell within walking distance of Clearwell Castle and Caves & Puzzle Wood. 'The stank' you will be relieved to hear is a very old word for pond or body of water and has nothing to do with the word stink! Ask the owners about the farm's history. The village also boasts 2 pubs, restaurants, cafe and a recreational ground. Nearby is Perrygrove steam railway and The Iron Age Experience. The old market town of Coleford only 2 miles away is a thriving community where all provisions can be bought 7 days a week. The Grade II listed farmhouse we believe dates back to 16th Century. The Lodge is a wooden log cabin that is set away from the house and sleeps 4/6 people. All of the self-catered accommodation has private access and outside space and all guests are welcome to enjoy the land and help on the farm if they would like to. The farm house and outbuildings are set within 17 acres with a stream running through and depending on the time of year there are sheep, cattle, pigs & chickens. The owners Andrew & Louise Salter and their 2 children William aged 14 and Lily aged 11. They offer a relaxing, comfortable and tranquil holiday within easy reach of the Royal Forest of Dean, Wye Valley and Vale of Leadon. The surrounding area offers walking, cycling, riding, climbing, canoeing, fishing, quad biking etc, Symonds Yat, Tintern, Monmouth, Clearwell castle, Welsh mountains, Newent, Ross- on-Wye and many other pretty villages and for younger children, Clearwell Caves, Dean Forest Railway, Model Village, Butterfly Zoo and plenty of nature trails etc.

  • The Painswick Beacon
    The Painswick Beacon Sine praeiudicio Volume 33 Number 5 August 2010 Artsfest There can be few who are unaware of Painswick currently presenting its creativity in exemplary fashion. Last Saturday heralded in no uncertain 'fashion', to those who live here, and more importantly to hundreds of those who live elsewhere, the scope of talent we are inclined to take for granted. We witnessed the 'flip side' of the doldrums which afflicted this community across recent times, with such devastating effect, floods with lengthy highway reconstruction, horrendous winter conditions all but isolating this village, and then the essential but wholly inconvenient replacement of the gas main straight through the heart of the settlement. Just as art and craft reaches the peak season, and as Painswick is the chosen location for exhibition of the highest skills in so many aspects of creativity, a truly memorable new approach to trumpeting that month or so had been devised in the form of a show-casing of 'Wearable Art'. The imagination of over 30 who responded that day to interpret design and extravagantly imaginative creations, whether bizarre or even just humorous, all compered by Keith Allen, fully lived up to expectations; a challenge to repeat in future years. Three main themes set were 'Lamb to Loom', 'Queen of the Cotswolds', and 'Power Dressing', but an additional challenge was on offer in the 'Bra-tastic' - creation of a bra which lived up to the wildest of dreams. The Beacon suggests they all X-celled. Coupled with the peels of bells from St Mary's, Morris Dancers, busking and jazz guitarists, the closure of central streets and dual focus upon Victoria Square and The Cross enabled all to be show-cased and the public to enjoy the 'production' to the full.
