  • Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February
    Advisory Visit River Bollin, Styal Country Park, Cheshire February 2010 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Bollin, Cheshire on 19th February 2010. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Kevin Nash (Fisheries Technical Specialist) and Andy Eaves (Fisheries Technical Officer) of the Environment Agency (EA), North West Region (South Area). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Bollin is 49 km long and rises in the edge of Macclesfield Forest, flowing west to join the River Mersey (Manchester Ship Canal) near Lymm. The River Dean is the major tributary of the Bollin, and the catchment area totals 273 km2. The section of river visited flows through Styal Country Park, downstream of Quarry Bank Mill, and is owned by the National Trust. A previous Wild Trout Trust visit was carried out further downstream at the National Trust property at Dunham Massey. The Bollin falls within the remit of the Mersey Life Project which aims to carry out a phased programme of river restoration, initially focussing on the non-tidal section of the River Mersey, the River Bollin and River Goyt (http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/wildlife/102362.aspx). The construction of fish passes on Heatley and Bollington Mill weirs in the lower Bollin catchment means it is now possible for migratory species (e.g.

  • Country Iioijs1 of Greater Mancheste
    COUNTRY IIOIJS1 OF GREATER MANCHESTE * P .•» I COUNTRY HOUSES OF GREATER MANCHESTER EDITORS :J.S.F. WALKER & A.S.TINDALL (;itiL\n<it MANCHESTER ARCHAEOLOGICAL UNIT 1985 osi CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT The country house is part of the diverse and rich heritage of Greater Manchester. This volume follows the development of the country house from the Middle Ages to the present day, using a combination of .archaeological excavation, documentary research and survey to present a coherent study of a building type which reflects the social and economic development of the community in a singularly direct way. By their survival they .demonstrate the entrepreneurial skills of the owner and the abilities of those artisans who built and maintained them. The form and function of the country house change over the centuries, and the fabric of individual buildings mirrors these changes and encapsulates much of the history of the time. Many of our country houses are in good hands, well maintained and with a secure future. Many others described in this volume are already lost, and even the land upon which they stood has been so disturbed as to allow no further site investigation. Their loss, in many cases, was inevitable but I hope that this publication will create an awareness that others, too valuable to be allowed to disappear, are at risk. The protection and refurbishment of old buildings is costly, but I am confident that present conservation policies, allied with improving public and private attitudes towards preservation, have created a strong body of opinion in favour of the constructive re-use of the best of those which survive.

  • Cadishead Viaduct and the Cheshire Lines Rail Line
    Proposal to re-open Cadishead Viaduct and the Cheshire Lines rail line The art of the possible! This document has been produced by Hamilton Davies Trust (HDT) to provide background and scope for the Cadishead Viaduct potential re-opening debate. HDT has been heavily involved in the regeneration of Irlam and Cadishead since 2008, working with key local, regional and national stakeholders to make Irlam and Cadishead an even better place to live, work and enjoy. As part of our regeneration agenda, the poor state and appearance of Cadishead Viaduct has been a topic of conversation for some time. Two years ago we started to investigate the possibility of improving its appearance and putting the bridge back into use. This document summarises the history of the bridge and the compelling opportunities re-opening the viaduct would bring. HDT has now adopted the project and is championing the reopening of the viaduct for multi modal use including a new section of the national cycleway, footpath and heritage railway amongst other options. Cadishead Viaduct Built in 1893, Cadishead Viaduct is a magnificent structure which dominates the landscape across the Manchester Ship Canal. Originally constructed to run the Cheshire Lines railway over the newly built canal, the viaduct helped to service the busy factories in the area, transporting raw materials and finished goods, as well as some passenger services. Due to the decline in industry, the rail line closed to passengers in 1965 and eventually to freight in 1984 when coal exports ceased. With the line no longer in use and the high cost of maintenance, the bridge was eventually closed and industrial containers positioned at either side to prevent access to the structure.

    The construction of the Manchester Airport relief road provided an opportunity for archaeologists to Greater investigate the historic landscape on the southern Manchester’s fringes of Greater Manchester. The earliest remains Past Revealed were a Middle Bronze Age (1600–1100 BC) pit containing cremated human bone lying alongside an • 26 • enigmatic ring-shaped monument, found between Bramhall and Poynton. The majority of the discoveries, however, dated to the post-medieval and Industrial periods, and include a former corn mill, a turnpike toll house and a possible medieval moated manor, all near Norbury. This well-illustrated booklet, generously funded by roadbuilders Carillion Morgan Sindall Joint Venture, presents a summary of the most significant sites and their broader context in the local landscape. It also provides an insight into archaeological methods, along with the experiences of some of those who carried out the fieldwork. © Wessex Archaeology 2019 ISBN 978-1-911137-20-7 Front: Yard area near site of Norbury toll house Life on MARR Rear: Post-medieval land drainage ditches near Moss Nook Rear: The Bramhall ring ditch ARCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINS ALONG THE MANCHESTER AIRPORT RELIEF ROAD wessex 9 781911 137207 £5.00 archaeology Acknowledgments Wessex Archaeology would like to thank Carillion Morgan Sindall Joint Venture, for commissioning the archaeological investigations, particularly Steve Atkinson, Rory Daines, Molly Guirdham and Irish Sea Stuart Williams for their communication and assistance throughout.
