Level 1: Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Appraisal Stalybridge – Woodhead (4ZO) OHL ii Electricity Alliance West Refurbishment Works October 2012 AMEC Project 32430 NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY This report is an assessment of archaeological and cultural heritage issues arising from EAWs proposed scheme (EAW No. 20594) to refurbish an existing overhead electricity line (OHL) between towers 4ZO250 and 4ZO200, from the Millbrook Area of Stalybridge, Greater Manchester to the entrance of the Woodhead Tunnel in Derbyshire. The total length of the line is almost 16km, running generally in a west to east direction from NGR 397541 399754 to NGR 411149 399867. Approximately one third of the route lies in the metropolitan borough of Tameside, Greater Manchester, with the remainder in Derbyshire High Peak District. This report summarises the legislation and policy (Section 2) and sets out a methodology for appraising the heritage effects of the scheme (Section 3). Section 4 details the Level 1 desk- study and targeted Field Reconnaissance Survey (FRS) and Section 5 describes the cultural heritage interest of the tower route. The potential effects of the development upon both identified and as yet unidentified heritage assets and suggested mitigation options are outlined. Mitigation measures are further detailed in Section 6 and highlighted in Table 1: Summary Mitigation Table, below. Generic mitigation measures are proposed for all towers, i.e. that the latest access routes shown on wayleaves plans must be adhered to at all times, unless changes are agreed in advance. The appraisal also establishes the potential impact for ground works associated with access routes and work compounds to impact upon archaeological remains and cultural heritage assets at 13 of the 52 towers on the 4ZO transmission line. Further specific mitigation measures are detailed for these heritage assets. All mitigation proposals should be subject to Level 2 Archaeological Consultation alongside and during proposed refurbishment works. Mitigation measures have been highlighted as ‘green’, ‘amber’ or ‘red’ to follow a Traffic Light System: • ‘Green’ applies to all towers without identified archaeological constraints in the immediate vicinity of towers and/or access route. It is recommended that access routes must be adhered to in order to prevent damage to any, as yet unknown, archaeological and cultural heritage assets. In some instances further mitigation suitable to specific sites may be recommended. • ‘Amber’ has been applied to those towers and/or access routes with specific archaeological and heritage constraints in the vicinity, or the clear potential for such remains. This includes Grade II Listed Buildings and undesignated heritage assets (e.g. standing buildings, buried archaeology). In this instance suitable mitigation will involve the production of an Archaeological Constraint Map for each tower and possible Level 3 archaeological mitigation. • ‘Red’ is appropriate for towers in close proximity to significant archaeological and/or cultural heritage constraints such as nationally important Scheduled Monuments and Grade I Listed buildings in the immediate vicinity of the tower and/or access route. Suitable mitigation must involve the production of an Archaeological Constraint Map for each tower, following consultation with the local archaeological advisor and Level 1: Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Appraisal Stalybridge – Woodhead (4ZO) OHL iii Electricity Alliance West Refurbishment Works October 2012 AMEC Project 32430 English Heritage, and possible Level 3 archaeological mitigation.

  • Land Off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield
    2019/1013 Applicant: National Grid Description: Planning application for National Grid's Visual Impact Provision (VIP) project involving the following works:1) Construction of a new sealing end compound, including permanent access; 2) Construction of a temporary haul road from Brook Hill Lane including widened bellmouth; 3) Construction of a temporary Trans Pennine Trail Diversion to be used for approximately 12 - 18 months; following construction approximately 410m of said diversion surface would be retained permanently; and 4) Erection of two bridges (one temporary and one permanent) along the Trans Pennine Trail diversion Site Address: Land off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield Site Description The site stretches from Dunford Bridge in the Peak District National Park to Wogden Foot LWS approximately 1.8km to the east. With the exception of the sealing end compounds at either end, the site is linear and broadly follows the route of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT). At Dunford Bridge the site extends to the former rail tunnel entrance and includes the existing sealing end compound located behind properties on Don View. Beyond this is the TPT car park and the TPT itself which is a former rail line running from Dunford Bridge to Penistone; now utilised as a bridleway. The site takes in land adjacent the TPT along which a temporary diverted bridleway route is proposed. In addition, Wogden Foot, a Local Wildlife Site (LWS) located 1.8km to the east is included (in part) as the proposed location of a new sealing end compound; construction access to this from Windle Edge also forms part for the application.

You get each other up that hill and across that bog and down the other side. On the way, you talk for a while, drift off and find yourself in another conversation or even continue a conversation that you started a couple of months ago.” 02 | Freshwalks Private INTRODUCTION Glorious scenery Freshwalks Private events are a blend of full-blooded exercise, and back to nature hiking across glorious countryside and hills, deep conversations and some decent pub food after too.

    1 WALK.5. BLEAKLOW.5. 19.7 miles 5 hours 50 minutes. Map Dark Peak. “Reproduced by kind permission of Ordnance Survey.” Crown copyright NC/02/30874. Start at the A57, where the Pennine way crosses the road. There is no car park at this point, just enough room, at the side of the road at (088929), for a few cars (the early birds). Take the Pennine way, going N from the road to a good ladder stile. Follow a firm path, paved for some of its route; this used to be very boggy. Gathering Hill is to your left. Go NE over Alport Low (098945); (‘Low’ Anglo-Saxon for ‘hill’). You then meet Hern Clough, which you follow until Hern Stone is seen, a large stone; you wonder how it got there. Go due N to Bleaklow Head; this section is very boggy in wet weather; this is Wain Stones. Keep N for about 600 yards; there are some stakes to guide you, then turn left, going W down Wildboar Grain (a small stream), dropping down to cross a stream at John Track Well (081964). Still on the Pennine Way, the path climbs the other side of the clough, then goes NW past Torside Castle on your left, along Clough Edge, which is high above Torside Clough, a fine, dramatic viewpoint on a clear day. The path descends to a footpath sign, then a big ladder stile and rough track, down to level ground near a farm. Take the farm drive, going N of W down to the road via a wicket gate at a cattle grid.

  • 245 DESCRIPTION of the MANCHESTER WATER WORKS. The
    245 DESCRIPTION OF THE MANCHESTER WATER WORKS. BY MR. JOHN FREDERIC BATEMAN, OF LONDON. The works by which the city of Manchester and its suburbs are now supplied with water were originally designed in 1846, and were commenced in the autumn of 1848; and the water was first introduced into the city at the end of 1850. Previously to this date the water supply had been gathered from various sources : for some twenty years the greater portion had been obtained from a limited tract of gathering ground within a few miles of Manchester; a small additional quantity had recently been procured from a well sunk into the new red sandstone at Gorton ; and urgent deficiencies were made up by occasional supplies from the Ashton and Peak Forest Canals. The supply however was very inadequate and very impure. The present water supply is brought from the River Etherow, which divides the counties of Derby and Chester, deriving its supplies from the western slopes of the great chain of hills commonly called the backbone of England. A general plan showing the drainage area and the entire course of the works to Manchester is given in Fig. 2, Plate 84; and Fig. 3, Plate 85, is a longitudinal section along the line of the works. The drainage ground lies nearly midway between Manchester and Sheffield, and extends over about 19,000 acres. It rises in parts to an elevation of about 1800 feet above the level of the sea, and about 1200 or 1300 feet above the deep and romantic valley of Longdendale, in which the main collecting reservoirs are situated, as shown to a larger scale in the plan Fig.
