  • Taunton Campus Travelling by Bus to College Information & Timetables
    www.btc.ac.uk TAUNTON CAMPUS TRAVELLING BY BUS TO COLLEGE INFORMATION & TIMETABLES From September 2018 TRAVELLING BY BUS TO COLLEGE All buses providing routes to the Taunton campus are public service buses. Please note this timetable is not exclusive of all services that operate in and around Taunton, therefore for further and up to date information please visit www.traveline.info As such timetables and rules of carriage for public transport apply at all times. In addition to students from the College, fare paying members of the public will use the same buses. Like any other passenger, any student using a bus is required to have a valid ticket for each journey. WHICH PASS? 1. College students can chose to purchase a ticket and pay the driver for each journey or; 2. Make use of any special tickets issued by individual bus operators or; 3. Purchase the Somerset County Council County Ticket (Love the Bus). Careful research and planning is required to ensure the chosen ticket provides the best value for money for each individual student. This will depend on, for example, the number of journeys a student will make each week, location of work placement, availability of public transport at other times. The Somerset County Ticket allows unlimited use within Somerset from 1st September to 31st August, the pass needs to be ordered in advance to gain maximum value. Whilst it is possible to order a pass during term time, once term has started students will need to purchase a bus ticket for each journey while waiting for the pass application to be processed by Somerset County Council, this can take up to 2 weeks during busy times.

  • Obridge Yard, Taunton Land Disposal Notice
    Les Waters Manager, Licensing Railway Markets and Economics E-mail [email protected] Telephone 020 7282 2106 12 April 2016 Company Secretary Network Rail Infrastructure Limited 1 Eversholt Street London NW1 2DN Network licence condition 7 (land disposal): Obridge Yard, Taunton Decision 1. On 26 February 2016, Network Rail gave notice of its intention to dispose of land located north of Taunton Railway station (the land) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of condition 7 of its network licence. The land is described in more detail in the notice (copy attached). Network Rail also provided additional information at Annex B. 2. We have considered the information supplied by Network Rail including the responses received from third parties you have consulted. For the purposes of condition 7 of Network Rail‟s network licence, ORR consents to the disposal of the land in accordance with the particulars set out in its notice. Reasons for decision 3. We are satisfied that Network Rail has consulted all relevant stakeholders with current information. No alternative reasonably foreseeable railway use for the land was identified and no material issues or objections were raised. We note that: there is no evidence that railway operations at Taunton station would be affected adversely; this disposal forms part of the deliverables of the Taunton station Master Plan which is driven by the need to meet incremental passenger growth at Taunton station as identified by Network Rail‟s Western Route Study; Network Rail‟s maintenance depot at the eastern section of Obridge Yard will be relocated with improved access and security; Network Rail confirmed that it would continue to provide and maintain the watering facilities for steam engines and the associated road access rights; and Network Rail will require its developer to keep Kilkenny car park fully operational until the 600 space multi storey car park is built and that there will be no net loss of car parking associated with the implementation of this proposal.

  • Social History
    © University of London – Text by Dr Rosalind Johnson (edited by Mary Siraut) 1 SOCIAL HISTORY SOCIAL CHARACTER Although the medieval parish was dominated by the manor and the lord of the manor retained the advowson until the late 17th century, there is no evidence for a resident lord of the manor until the 1840s when Charles Noel Welman built Norton Manor.1 In 1700 the tenant at Knowle Hill had been able to fell a considerable amount of timber and establish a stone quarry before the lord was able to take any action.2 In 1327 Richard Stapeldon, lord of the manor, was assessed at 10s., substantially the largest assessment in the parish and only eight other taxpayers were assessed at 1s. or more, half of them in Langford.3 Fifteen persons with land or goods in Norton were assessed for the 1581 subsidy, though not all may have been resident. 4 In 1742 the parish was as assessed at 3s. 8d. as its proportion towards the county rate, an average figure for the parishes in the hundred of Taunton and Taunton Deane.5 By 1782 William Hawker, lord of the manor, was the chief landowner in the village, but there were several smaller estates and a number of small freeholders with a single dwelling or plot of land.6 Not until c.1842, There may have been tensions in the parish between more prosperous householders and the labouring classes. In 1849 concerns were expressed about the ‘excess and immorality’ in the village occasioned by labourers frequenting beer houses.7 In 1855 the vestry meeting agreed to offer a reward for information leading to a conviction after a spate of burglaries in the parish.8 1 See landownership.
