  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

Bonbon : WELLS GARDNER, DARTON & CO., LTD., 3, Paternoster Buildings, E.C., and 44, Victoria Street, S. W. PREFACE THE History of Chertsey Abbey is of more than local interest. Its foundation carries us back to so remote a period that the date is uncertain. The exact date fixed in the is A.D. but Chertsey register 666 ; Reyner, from Capgrave's Life of S. Erkenwald, will have this Abbey to have been founded as early as A.D. 630. That Erken- wald, however, was the real founder, and before he became Bishop of London, admits of no doubt. Even the time of Erkenwald's death is not certain, some placing it in 685, while Stow says he died in 697. His splendid foundation lasted for some nine centuries, and in the following pages will be found a full history of the Abbey and its rulers and possessions until its dissolution by Henry VIII. is incessant is con- Change everywhere, and ; nothing stant or in a or less stable, except greater degree ; the Abbeys which in their time played so important a part in the history and development of the country, and as v houses of learning, have all passed away, but a study of the history of an important Abbey enables us to appre- ciate the part which these institutions played in the past, and some of the good they achieved, although they were not wholly free from abuses.

  • Explore Hampton Court Palace and Legoland with All the Family
    Explore Hampton Court Palace and Legoland with all the family How long do I need? Two to three days Where is it? Surrey and Windsor Highlights For a great family break, you need plenty to keep the whole party amused. Hampton Court Palace and Legoland both make an amazing day out, with plenty of attractions and rides to keep everyone in the family happy. If you have any energy left on day three you can visit Mercedes- Benz World museum – great for motor enthusiasts! Get behind the wheel of Mercedes-Benz, recapture the do-or-die spirit of Brookland’s 1930s motor circuit and tour G-BBDG - the 1,350 mph Delta Golf Concorde. Day one: Spend the day at Hampton Court Palace beside the River Thames The majestic highlight of the first day is a visit to Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace, in its splendid setting beside the River Thames. This magnificent palace both awes and entertains its visitors, just as it did in Tudor times. Henry took the riverside residence from his fallen favourite, Cardinal Wolsey, and held court here in the series of rooms which we can still see today. Family trails, costumed guided tours and a variety of special activities rekindle the spirit of what life was like here under England’s most colourful, much-married monarch. It’s easy to picture Henry himself in the imposing Great Hall used for banquets, receptions, balls and other functions; in The Great Watching Chamber, where bodyguards were stationed to manage the ebb and flow of courtiers; in the Chapel Royal where he worshipped every day and in the sometimes chilling Haunted Gallery.
