    Ti r A Beginner’s Guide To Boating On Inland Waterways Take to the water with British Waterways and the National Rivers Authority With well over 4,000 km (2,500 miles) of rivers and canals to explore, from the south west of England up to Scotland, our inland waterways offer plenty of variety for both the casual boater and the dedicated enthusiast.

  • Floating Water-Plantain)
    Shropshire Biodiversity Action Plan Luronium natans (Floating Water-plantain) This plan is in need of review, it is hoped that a review will be undertaken in 2009. Floating Water-plantain occurs in a range of freshwater situations but thrives best in open areas with a moderate degree of disturbance, where the growth of emergent vegetation is held in check. Populations of this species can fluctuate greatly in size. In what is believed to be its core natural habitat in the lakes of Snowdonia and mid Wales, this species favours slightly acidic lakes with low nutrient levels (Preston C.D. 1994) that restrict the growth of other plants. From these sites it may have spread eastwards via the canal system (fed by Welsh rivers) and canal sites account for approximately half of the national records (UKBAP 1995); in canal sites this species tends to grow in neutral or slightly basic mesotrophic water (Preston C.D. 1994). In Shropshire, canal is one of three different freshwater situations where it has been found. It was first found in canal (Llangollen canal near Colemere) in 1880. It is now found, rarely, in the Montgomery Canal on the English side of the Welsh border but has not been recorded there since 1994, when its distribution appears to have diminished to one site only (Aston Locks SSSI); there are several older more widespread records (1880 until the 1980s) and the canal, on the Welsh side, is a key site for this species, such that the canal in Wales has been designated a SAC (it is also an SSSI).

  • Download Powys Update Report
    AGENDA ITEM No. 16 MEETING : TRUST BOARD DATE : 29 JANUARY 2008 REPORT OF : DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE Contact : Andy Roughton Regional Director C&W Officer Tel: 01792 562929 Email: [email protected] POWYS – UPDATE REPORT Purpose 1. To inform the Board of the current position within Powys. RECOMMENDED: That the report be received. Introduction 2. The Powys locality currently operates from 12 ambulance stations and at peak times aims to roster 12 ambulance resources at any one time. Appendix A shows the levels of activity and the distribution of activity over a 91 day period. Appendix B shows the average peak activity over a 50 week period by day of the week across Powys. The columns show planned crewing levels and the red line shows the rota required taking account of a three hour job cycle. Due to the geographical size of the area, low call volumes and spread of activity throughout the locality, compliance with response standards is challenging within the current traditional ambulance service delivery model employed (Appendix A). However, the rostered level of ambulance resources is sufficient to service the current call volume (Appendix B). 3. Recruitment and retention of staff has also been a challenge in the past, leaving the region with 4 vacancies and an additional requirement for 3 vacancies to increase the relief percentage to the Trust’s target of 26%. 4. Powys has no General Hospital and therefore average job cycle times are incurred of up to 3 hours when patients are conveyed and therefore the Trust’s inability to maintain suitable cover within the locality further compromises our ability to meet response standards.

  • A Walk from Church Minshull
    A Walk to Church Minshull Aqueduct Marina photo courtesy of Bernie Stafford Aqueduct Marina, the starting point for this walk, was opened in February 2009. The marina has 147 berths, a shop and a café set in beautiful Cheshire countryside. With comprehensive facilities for moorers, visiting boaters and anyone needing to do, or have done, any work on their boat, the marina is an excellent starting point for exploring the Cheshire canal system. Starting and finishing at Church Minshull Aqueduct Marina, this walk takes in some of the prettiest local countryside as well as the picturesque village of Church Minshull and the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal. Some alternative routes are also included at the end to add variation to the walk which is about five or six miles, depending on the exact route taken. Built to join the Trent and Mersey Canal with the Chester Canal, the Middlewich Branch carried mainly coal, salt and goods to and from the potteries. Built quite late in the canal building era, like so many other canals, this canal wasn’t as successful as predicted. Today, however, it is a very busy canal providing an essential link between the Trent and Mersey Canal at Middlewich and the Llangollen Canal as well as being part of the Four Counties Ring and linking to the popular Cheshire Ring boating route. The Route Leaving the marina, walk to the end of the drive and turn north (right) onto the B5074 Church Minshull road and walk to the canal bridge. Cross the canal and turn down the steps on the right onto the towpath, then walk back under the bridge, with the canal on your left.

  • Railway and Canal Historical Society Early Railway
    RAILWAY AND CANAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY EARLY RAILWAY GROUP Occasional Paper 255 [ editor’s note: this paper is in reply to a query in Circular 37: “Charnwood Forest Canal tramway rails. The following enquiry is from Michael Gillingham via Wendy Freer: I wondered if you would be able to give me any leads on some of my investigations re the cast iron fish belly rails that are said to have been used on the tram road at Nanpantan. It is said that this was the first time edge rails were used! …” And see the related notes on the Kidderminster rail in Circular 37 and Railway & Canal Historical Society, Early Railway Group Occasional Paper [ERG OP]256, Rowan Patel, ‘Butterley Company Edge Rails: their use at Belvoir Castle and elsewhere’. ____________________________ The Leicester Navigationʼs Forest Line: a myth debunked Michael Lewis One of the least successful projects of the Canal Mania was the Charnwood Forest Line of the Leicester Navigation, which was intended to bring coal from pits around Coleorton to the main waterway at Loughborough. It was to be a hybrid transport route, with railways on the steeper stretches at each end but a canal on the level central portion. “The bodies of the Trams were made to lift off, or to be placed on their wheels, by means of cranes” and stowed in canal boats1: an early instance of containerisation. And not only was the system a fiasco, but there are few early railways whose story has been more befogged by misinformation and misinterpretation. Although the general outline was elucidated in an invaluable paper of 19552, until recently the nature of the rails has remained obscure, for none has been found in the field.
