VALE ROYAL INTRODUCTION 2 This document details Youth arts activity and organisations in West Cheshire and Chester is presented in this document on a district-by-district basis. This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

Let us hope this beautiful summer weather continues for our residential to Herefordshire. This issue of the Bulletin is not without sadness as we remember two landscape history ‘greats’ who are no longer with us. In March CSLH lost Oliver Bott, one of it’s founding fathers and a great supporter of our Society. Our thoughts and very warmest wishes are with Elizabeth at this very difficult time. In memory of Oliver we shall be holding a special commemorative lecture in his honour next year. Towards the end of June we were shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Mick Aston of ‘Time Team’ fame.

  • 1911 the Father of the Architect, John Douglas Senior, Was Born In
    John Douglas 1830 – 1911 The father of the architect, John Douglas senior, was born in Northampton and his mother was born in Aldford, Cheshire. No records have been found to show where or when his parents married but we do know that John Douglas was born to John and Mary Douglas on April 11th 1830 at Park Cottage Sandiway near Northwich, Cheshire. Little is known of his early life but in the mid to late 1840s he became articled to the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley. In 1860 Douglas married Elizabeth Edmunds of Bangor Is-coed. They began married life in Abbey Square, Chester. Later they moved to Dee Banks at Great Boughton. They had five children but sadly only Colin and Sholto survived childhood. After the death of his wife in 1878, Douglas remained at the family home in Great Boughton before designing a new house overlooking the River Dee. This was known as both Walmoor Hill and Walmer Hill and was completed in 1896. On 23rd May 1911 John Douglas died, he was 81. He is buried in the family grave at Overleigh Cemetery, Chester. Examples of the Work of John Douglas The earliest known design by John Douglas dates from 1856 and was a garden ornament, no longer in existence, at Abbots Moss for Mrs. Cholmondeley. Hugh Lupus Grosvenor, first Duke of Westminster, saw this design and subsequently became Douglas’ patron paying him to design many buildings on his estates, the first being the Church of St. John the Baptist Aldford 1865-66. Other notable works include : 1860-61 south and southwest wings of Vale Royal Abbey for Hugh Cholmondley second Baron Delamere 1860-63 St.

  • Community Projects
    TWEED NUTTALL WARBURTON Architects | Urban Designers Community Projects 1 New Church Centre, Handbridge weed Nuttall Warburton has a long history of working on community projects. We believe community buildings should be designed to be flexible and accessible to all T users. The spaces should be welcoming and fit for purpose as function spaces ready for regular use and enjoyment as the center of a community. We also believe the buildings should be sustainable and provide the community with a legacy building for the years to come. We have a long association with the local community of Chester and surrounding villages. Our experienced team greatly value establishing a close Client/Architect relationship from the outset. We regularly engage with community groups and charities along with local authorities, heritage specialists and relevant consultants to ensure the process of producing a community building is as beneficial to the end users as is possible. We can provide feasibility studies to assist local community groups, charities and companies make important decisions about their community buildings. These studies can explore options to make the most of the existing spaces and with the use of clever extensions and interventions provide the centres with a new lease of life. We can also investigate opportunities for redevelopment and new purpose-built buildings. Church Halls and Community Centres Following the successful completion of several feasibility studies we have delivered a range of community centres and projects in Chester, Cheshire and North Wales. These have included: A £1.5m newbuild community centre incorporating three function spaces, a cafe and medical room for adjacent surgery all within the grounds of a Grade II* listed Church.

Please send a cheque, payable to Mike Higginbottom, to – 63 Vivian Road Sheffield S5 6WJ Manchester’sManchester’s HeritageHeritage Best Western Queen Hotel, City Road, Chester, CH1 3AH 01244-305000 Friday September 18th-Sunday September 20th 2009 2 Introduction In many ways the most physically distinctive historic town in England, Chester is not quite what it seems. Its name reveals its Roman origin, and the concentration of later buildings in the historic core means that the revealed remains of Roman date are fragmentary but remarkable. Its whole raison d’être came from its position as the port at the bridging- point of the Dee and the gateway to North Wales, though there is little reminder now of its status as a sea-going port, except for the pleasure-craft on the Shropshire Union Canal, gliding below the town walls. Its famous Rows, the split-level medieval shopping streets, are without exact parallel, and their fabric dates from every century between the thirteenth and the present. It is a city fiercely proud of its conservation record, taking seriously the consultant’s comment that “Chester’s face is its fortune” to which someone at a meeting added “...but some of its teeth are missing,” – rightly so, for in the midst of much charm there are some appalling solecisms of modern development. Sir Nikolaus Pevsner and Edward Hubbard, in The Buildings of England: Cheshire (Penguin 1971), comment, “If one...tries to make up accounts, Chester is not a medieval, it is a Victorian city.” If so, it is a Victorian city that grew from an ancient port, with a Roman plan, its characteristic building-design conceived by the practical needs of medieval merchants, its strategic importance underlined by an earldom traditionally given to the Prince of Wales, a county town that became the seat of a Tudor bishopric, a key point in the transport arteries of the turnpike, canal and railway ages.

  • AERIAL ARCHAEOLOGY and the EVIDENCE for MEDIEVAL FARMING in WEST CHESHIRE R. Williams, M.A.. R.I.B.A., F.S.A
    AERIAL ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE EVIDENCE FOR MEDIEVAL FARMING IN WEST CHESHIRE R. Williams, M.A.. R.I.B.A., F.S.A. Aerial archaeology, or the use of aerial photographs to interpret the landscape, is not new. The first aerial photo­ graphs were taken from balloons in the 19th century, but it was aerial reconnaissance during the first World VVar that made archaeologists appreciate the possibilities of this techni­ que for their own research. Aerial archaeology had not been seriously attempted in Cheshire until it was realised that the prolonged drought during 1976 was revealing hitherto un­ known ancient features throughout Britain. The unusual conditions were producing the well-known crop mark phenomenon, where a buried feature is made 'visible' on the surface by premature ripening or differential growth in the crop immediately above it. The conditions obtaining in 1976 were exceptional, but they do occur to a sufficient degree to produce some crop marks in any dry summer in most English counties. In most counties, but not in all; some counties, Cheshire among them, have for many years been pastoral rather than arable, and there have been few crops in which such marks could appear. Crop growing involves ploughing and this, too, can reveal ancient features which appear as lines or patterns of discol­ ouration in the soil. Unfortunately, for the aerial observer, soil marks, as these features are called, are as rare as crop marks in Cheshire, so that another method of discovery has to be used. This makes use of a very low sun which brings into sharp relief even minor declivities and protuberances on the ground.
