  • The Quaternary Evolution of the Gordano Valley, North Somerset

    The Quaternary Evolution of the Gordano Valley, North Somerset

    The Quaternary Evolution of the Gordano Valley, North Somerset, UK. Thomas Charles Bernard Hill A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Faculty of the Built Environment, University of the West of England, Bristol January 2006 Abstract The Gordano Valley is a low-lying valley positioned in close proximity to the Severn Estuary, in southwest England. Although its late Quaternary and Holocene sedimentary archive is extensive, the spatial and temporal evolution of the Gordano Valley has received only limited attention from previous researchers. In this study, stratigraphic analysis of the valley archive, combined with pollen, diatom and particle size analysis are utilised in a detailed reconstruction of the evolution of the Gordano Valley. Two contrasting depositional environments are present, separated by a sedimentary ridge traversing the width of the valley. A tentative mechanism is presented for the development of the ridge in response to periglacial hillslope erosion and deposition during the Devensian glacial period (c. 115,000-11,500 Cal. yrs BP). In contrast, the chronology and development of the two depositional environments is clearer. Detailed multiproxy analysis of the two sedimentary archives reveals the development of an enclosed lake basin headward of the ridge during the late glacial period (c. 18,000-15,000 Cal. yrs BP). Subsequent climatic amelioration in response to the transition from glacial to interglacial conditions resulted in the terrestrialisation of the lake at the onset of the BØlling/AllerØd interstadial, c. 15,000 Cal. yrs BP. A complete hydroseral succession sequence is present in the headward region of the valley, where the terrestrialised lake sequence developed into the fen peatland that is present today.

    9 IRetHseO Ht0t of tfce T6ttO0 of Somerset BY THE REV. MURRAY A. MATHEW, M.A., F.L.S. Vicar of Buckland Dinham, Member of the British Ornitho- logists' Union, and one of the authors of" The Birds of DevonT WHEN Mr. Cecil Smith published his Birds of Somerset, in 1869, he was able to record but 217 species, to which he subsequently added ten others in a list contributed by him to Vol. xvi of the Transactions of the Somerset Archaaological and Natural History Society (for 1870), thus bringing the total number of birds for Somerset to 227. But even this number appears inadequate to repre- sent the Ornis of so large a county as Somerset, when it is compared with the lists which have been made out for the adjoining counties. Thus for Wiltshire, a county which comes far behind Somerset in geographical importance, as it possesses no coast line, the Rev. A. Smith was able to . C. enumerate 235 species ; in Dorsetshire, Col. Mansel-Pleydell, as was to be expected, had a fuller list, numbering 254 species, to which we are able to add three others, thus bringing the Dorsetshire county birds to a total of 257 ; while for Devon- shire, which has a sea frontage both on the north and south, as many as 300 species can be claimed.

    Stories of the Severn Sea

    Stories of the Severn Sea A Maritime Heritage Education Resource Pack for Teachers and Pupils of Key Stage 3 History Contents Page Foreword 3 Introduction 4 1. Smuggling 9 2. Piracy 15 3. Port Development 22 4. Immigration and Emigration 34 5. Shipwrecks and Preservation 41 6. Life and Work 49 7. Further Reading 56 3 Foreword The Bristol Channel was for many centuries one of the most important waterways of the World. Its ports had important trading connections with areas on every continent. Bristol, a well-established medieval port, grew rich on the expansion of the British Empire from the seventeenth century onwards, including the profits of the slave trade. The insatiable demand for Welsh steam coal in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries gave the ports of south Wales an importance in global energy supplies comparable to that of the Persian Gulf ports today. There was also much maritime activity within the confines of the Channel itself, with small sailing vessels coming to south Wales from Devon and Somerset to load coal and limestone, pilot cutters sailing out to meet incoming vessels and paddle steamers taking Bristolians and Cardiffians alike for a day out in the bracing breezes of the Severn Sea. By today, most of this activity has disappeared, and the sea and its trade no longer play such an integral part in the commercial activity of places such as Bristol and Cardiff. Indeed, it is likely that more people now go out on the Severn Sea for pleasure rather than for profit. We cannot and must not forget, however, that the sea has shaped our past, and knowing about, and understanding that process should be the birthright of every child who lives along the Bristol Channel today – on whichever side! That is why I welcome this pioneering resource pack, and I hope that it will find widespread use in schools throughout the area.

The broad purpose of an electoral review is to decide on the appropriate electoral arrangements – the number of councillors, and the names, number and boundaries of wards or divisions – for a specific local authority. We are conducting an electoral review of North Somerset Council to provide improved levels of electoral equality across the authority.
