  • Iwa Submission on the Environment Bill – Appendix A
    IWA SUBMISSION ON THE ENVIRONMENT BILL – APPENDIX A IWA VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PROPULSION ON THE INLAND WATERWAYS EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW 1. Recognising the UK Government’s strategy to reduce emissions from diesel and petrol engines, IWA formed its Sustainable Propulsion Group in 2019 to identify and monitor developments which will enable boats on the inland waterways to fully contribute to the Government’s stated aim of zero CO2 emissions by 2050. 2. The Group has identified a number potential solutions that it recommends should be progressed in order to ensure that boats used on the inland waterways do not get left behind in technological developments. These are outlined in more detail in this paper. 3. To ensure that the inland waterways continue to be sustainable for future generations, and continue to deliver benefits to society and the economy, IWA has concluded that national, devolved and local government should progress the following initiatives: Investment in infrastructure through the installation of 300 shore power mains connection charging sites across the connected inland waterways network. This would improve air quality by reducing the emissions from stoves for heating and engines run for charging batteries, as well as enabling a move towards more boats with electric propulsion. Working with navigation authorities, investment in a national dredging programme across the inland waterways to make propulsion more efficient. This will also have additional environmental benefits on water quality and increasing capacity for flood waters. Research and investment into the production, use and distribution of biofuels. This will be necessary to reduce the environmental impact of existing diesel engines which, given their longevity, will still be around until well after 2050.

  • The Historical Character of English Canals and Its Conservation
    The Historical Character of English Canals and Its Conservation The Historical Character of English Canals and Its Conservation Mike Clarke Alphen aan de Rijn December 2010 1700 1800 Lancaster Ripon Lancaster Ripon York York Leeds Leeds Hull Hull Blackburn Blackburn Liverpool Manchester Liverpool Manchester Sheffield Lincoln Sheffield Lincoln Chester Chester Llangollen Llangollen Stoke Stoke Derby Nottingham Derby Nottingham Birmingham Leicester Birmingham Leicester Montgomery Montgomery Northampton Northampton Stratford Stratford Brecon Brecon Oxford Oxford Gloucester Gloucester Bristol Bristol London London Broad Canals Broad Canals Narrow Canals 60 Kilometres Narrow Canals 60 Kilometres The Increase in English waterways:1700 to 1800 The Historical Character of English Canals and Its Conservation Mike Clarke Simply conserving large historic canal structures in isolation is not the best way to retain the historic character of a waterway. All aspects of a canal’s operation and history should be researched, to provide a guide to the particular character of that canal, and this can then be used to help waterway staff and developers with conservation. Emphasis should be placed on the smaller details of the canal’s working life which still survive. Although often not recognised by the public, it is these which give the real historic feeling to a canal location, and provide the best way to interpret historical aspects of the waterway. Prior to 1700, most English waterways were concerned with supplying London with food. However, by 1800, many new canals had been built to serve growing industrial areas, particularly in the north of England. All were individual concerns, funded by local people to solve local transport needs, and were not seen as part of a national system.

  • Medieval Beverley 27Th September 2017 Pamela Hopkins’, Author and Leading Local Historian, Gave Today’S Talk on Beverley in the Middle Ages
    Pamela Hopkins on Medieval Beverley 27th September 2017 Pamela Hopkins’, author and leading local historian, gave today’s talk on Beverley in the Middle Ages. I’ve summarised some of the main areas of discussion below: • The importance of waterways to the town Pamela went into prehistory to explain why water has shaped the town. Long before people arrived in Beverley the ice sheets dumped metres of clay on the bowl of chalk beneath the town. Underground streams now flow beneath us but in medieval times they flowed over-ground, leaving much swampy land. Streams coursed along what became the town’s curving streets, leading to first the Minster then on to the Beck. As Pamela suggested, despite the changes that history has wrought upon Beverley, a medieval time traveller would be able to recognise it at a glance, because so little of this layout has changed. We saw this for ourselves on a copy of a map of Beverley of 1450, produced by a recent researcher, showing the location of the medieval streets (with their earliest recorded dates), watercourses, town ditch and important buildings. Only one of the five bars remain, but these were for mainly for taxation purposes not defence. There was no need for a ditch on the eastern side of the town as this was marshland. ‘Bars’ [Old French] were gates and ‘gates’ [Old Norse] were streets. So, we saw the course of the Alta Via (High Street) running in 1269 just as now, from the Minster through Butcher Row and Toll Gavel to North Bar Within.

  • Sacred Springs and Holy Wells of the East Riding
    Sacred Springs and Holy Wells of the East Riding ‘If I were called in / To construct a religion/ I should make use of water’ wrote Philip Larkin in his poem ‘Water’. All religions have done so. Water is the source of life and can kill. It heals, cleanses, purifies, and destroys. It’s mysterious, fascinating and capricious: it springs from the earth, the underworld. It shows us our own reflection as could nothing else in prehistory and was used for prophecy. In the Middle Ages, holy water was so precious it was locked away, and the belief of the people in the power of holy wells and springs was so feared by the zealots of the Reformation that they were banned and some destroyed. My interest in this subject was first piqued by this rather quirky book written in 1923 by the Reverend William Smith, which has been referenced by researchers into this topic ever since, although many of the wells and springs he identified are long gone. Why? The usual culprits of the Anthropocene: over-exploitation, abuse and neglect. The water table of the chalk aquifer has been so depleted for drinking and farming that many springs have run dry. Some have been filled in, ploughed over, built upon or repurposed as rubbish dumps or cattle troughs. Others are neglected and unfindable among the brambles. But some have been saved and a few of these we’ll look at. But first we’ll go deep into prehistory to look for local evidence of water awe from ancient times. A visit to the Great Wold Valley, which now holds the Gypsey Race, flowing from Wharram le Street into the sea at Bridlington, must mystify even the casual observer.
