My Boat Experience on the Shropshire /Llangollen Canals
My Boat experience on the Shropshire /Llangollen canals 15th June - 22nd June 2014 Day 1 On arrival at Whitchurch marina we received a very warm welcome by Jane who took us through our handover. Gordon then showed us onto the boat and took us through the safety handling procedures of our canal boat named Hagar. On a glorious summer evening we set off on our adventure along the Shropshire Union Canal. After bridge 32 we came across a set of swing bridges (33 and 34), after passing under 7 more bridges we came across our 3rd swing bridge (number 42) after bridge 43 and after being aboard for two leisurely hours we decide to moor up for the night at Platt Lane. We were aware that the pub at Platt lane was closed so we had provided our own food for the first evening. Day 2 After a good night sleep and a hearty breakfast we set off at 9.10am. After a few more bridges we came to Press Junction, where there is an opportunity to branch off, which takes you to a turning point and a marina. At this point you are also near to Bettisfield Nature Reserve. We carried on along the canal and came to Bettisfield, just before bridge 48 where there are 2 water points and we decide to moor up and top up with water. After our stop for water we passed by Bettisfield Boats, which is a slow section with boats moored on both sides. After a further 8 bridges we arrived at the Ellesmere tunnel, on checking that no other boats were coming towards us, we travelled 87 yards through the Ellesmere tunnel. -

Preferred Policy Directions
Cabinet 19 October 2011: SAMDev Plan: Appendix A: Preferred Policy Directions Appendix A: Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) Plan: Preferred Policy Directions Cabinet 19 October 2011: SAMDev Plan: Appendix A: Preferred Policy Directions Draft National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) The consultation on the NPPF has been widely reported in the national press and has stimulated a debate about the future role of planning. Consultation on the draft document closes on the 17th of October and a response has been submitted on the Council’s behalf. In light of the extent of the extent and nature of reported comments on the draft NPPF, we cannot be certain that it will not be subject to significant changes before it is adopted in its final form. In due course, planning documents in Shropshire will need to demonstrate that they are consistent with the adopted NPPF. The proposed SAMDev policy directions set out below have been drafted to provide specific guidance to meet national policy requirements or are needed to provide more detailed guidance to supplement those already adopted in the Core Strategy. Whilst we are confident that the adopted Shropshire Core Strategy is in general conformity with the draft NPPF, officers are closely following current debate on, for example, policy for the historic environment, and the draft SAMDev policies may require adjustment before the Plan is finalised to reflect the final version of the NPPF when this becomes available at the end of 2011. 2 Cabinet 19 October 2011: SAMDev Plan: Appendix -

DEAN OF CHESTER ALFRED RIMMER WITH NINETY-THREE ILLUSTRATIONS ON WOOD FROM DRAWINGS BY ALFRED RIMMER LONDON J . S. VIRTUE & CO., LIMITED, 26, IVY LANE PATERNOSTER ROW 1889. LONDON : FEINTED BY J. S. VIRTUE A!CD CO., LIMITRD. CITV EOAD ID 3 \\-\84- PREFACE. N revising these pages for separate publication I have been made very conscious, both of the excellence and charm of their subject on the one hand, and, on the other hand, of the very inadequate and unworthy manner in which the subject is here treated. It would be a most pleasant task to me, if sufficient health and opportunity were granted to me, to endeavour to do more justice to the scenery and history of this river; but many difficulties the and I impeded even writing of these short chapters ; have been compelled in some degree to modify their original plan and arrangement, especially as regards the Estuary. Under these circumstances my friend Mr. Rimmer had the goodness to write the Tenth and Eleventh Chapters, having reference to the architectural topics, with which he is professionally conversant. J. S. II. COLWYN BAY, July \-jth, 1875. 1051243 PREFACE. 'ITH reference to the brief Preface which was written by the late Dean Howson, it may be said that he contemplated an enlarged edition, with many subjects added that he first limits of could not include in his ; and now, course, such a hope is past. -
