    QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER Newsletter No. 155 Autumn 2016 Chorley and District Natural History Society is a Registered Charity: Registration Number 513466 THE NOTIFICATION OF THE WEST PENNINE MOORS AS A SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST (SSSI) It has been a notable summer on the West Pennine Moors (WPM) with a host of locally scarce, or previously unrecorded upland specialities reported. Botanically, the consolidation or spread of existing restricted populations of Moonwort, Great Sundew, Royal Fern, Round-leaved Sundew and Bell Heather were noted whilst in many areas, vast carpets of Cranberry fruited in abundance. Highlights were the locating of new colonies of Marsh Andromeda, Cowberry and Labrador Tea, whilst pride of place went to the discovery of Many- stalked Spike-rush, a native perennial new to the WPM. Great Sundew, Belmont Moor 30 th August 1 Bilberry Bumblebee, Belmont 23 rd June Moving away from vascular plants, a population of the upland specialist Bilberry Bumblebee was confirmed at Belmont and whilst Adder numbers in the east of the WPM were down, a male seen in the west by a competent observer in August, confirmed the continuing presence of a relict population there. The WPM is well known for its important breeding bird populations, particularly of waders and gulls, and 2016 was no exception; with the highpoints probably being the ten species of breeding wader across the area and the fledging of at least 38 juvenile Mediterranean Gulls from within the UK’s largest Black-headed Gullery at Belmont. 2 However, eclipsing all of the above and further to the announcement in the CDNHS February Newsletter (no.

    THE POLITICS of WATER in EARLY and MID- VICTORIAN BRITAIN: the EXPERIENCE of BOLTON Water, Besides Its Employment As a Consumer

    THE POLITICS OF WATER IN EARLY AND MID- VICTORIAN BRITAIN: THE EXPERIENCE OF BOLTON John Hassan and Peter Tqylor I Water, besides its employment as a consumer good and industrial raw material, has several other, often conflicting uses, and its consumption generates environmental and public health benefits and costs which bear little relation to the private costs and values incurred in its provision. In the Victorian period, given the absence of a national water policy or overall co-ordinating agency, attempts to develop water resources frequently led to clashes between different interest groups. Two groups in particular were active in attempting to control water sources in this period the manufacturers and urban corporations. The former, using a stream as a source of power, or more commonly as a supply of water for use in the production process and as a convenient sink for the discharge of industrial waste, frequently found their interests colliding with those of local authorities wishing to impound the stream in order to supply drinking water. The physical and organizational structures which were created in the course of the water industry's growth, and the rush by individual groups to control resources would be conceptualized later as hydrologically inefficient and irrational.' K. Smith, Water m Britain: a study in applied hydrology and resource geography (London, 1972), pp. 128-9; E. Porter, Water management in England and Wales (Cambridge, 1978), pp. 24-34. 120 John Hassan and Peter Taylor Such outcomes can also be viewed from the economist's perspective as the predictable consequences of the application of a weak, arms-length regulatory regime to the exploitation of a natural resource exhibiting pronounced multiple- and conflicting-use and natural monopoly characteristics.- In particular two types of distortion arose in the course of the Victorian scramble for sources, recognized by contemporaries,3 if analysed and regretted more fully by later observers blessed with hindsight.
