  • The Flora of Staffordshire, 2011
    The Flora of Staffordshire, 2011. Update No. 5 (October, 2015). 1. Add itional Herbarium Records. The online project Herbaria@home involves volunteers digitising the information from the herbarium sheets held by museums and universities. The results to date, relating to Staffordshire specimens, have been examined. Not all specimens were correctly identified by the original recorder. In particular the names applied to some Rosa and many Rubus specimens conflict with modern taxonomy. However, there are several important early records not included in this or earlier Floras. As a consequence, the previously thought earliest date for some taxa needs to be corrected; and a few significant later records need to be added. The resulting modified species accounts are given below. Page 107 At the bottom left, add to the abbreviations used for herbaria: BON Bolton Museum SLBI South London Botanical Institute Page 109 Equisetum hyemale L. Rough Horsetail 2 (0) 1796 Native Streamsides and ditches. It had not been recorded for the vice-county during the 20th Century until 1960, when it was collected by Dr Dobbie from a hedgerow at Bobbington, SO8090 (near to the county border), BON. Later seen in 1989, when RM found it on a streambank in Nash Elm Wood, SO7781. It remains at this site, and in 2003 it was reported by IJH to be present along a ditch and in adjacent marshy ground at Moddershall, SJ9237. Page 130 Ranunculus penicillatus (Dumort.) Bab.

  • Local Environment Agency Pi
    local environment agency pi DOVE ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW AUGUST 1999 Ashbourne Dove LEAP Foreword I am delighted to introduce the Consultation Draft for the Dove Local Environment Agency Plan. This is the third LEAP to be produced in the Upper Trent Area of the Midlands Region and looks at environmental issues within the River Dove catchment. The Agency in consultation with key organisations has identified a number of environmental issues relevant to this area. We need to confirm that we have addressed all current issues and the options to resolve them, taking into account the often conflicting demands on the environment by its users. The LEAP process will provide a vision for the environmental needs of the River Dove area. It will provide a framework within which we can seek to develop new partnerships with organisations and bodies with whom we wish to share a common approach on environmental , issues. This report is published as part of our commitment to being open and consulting with others about our work. This will be part of a major consultation exercise and marks the start of a three month period of consultation. Following the consultation period the Agency will produce a five year action plan which will set out a costed programme of work by the Agency and other organisations. Annual reviews over the five year period will report on significant achievements and progress being made on the issues. Your views are extremely important. Only by letting us know your opinions will we be able to make a real difference to your local environment.

Staffordshire is supposed to have but little actual history. It has even been called the playground of great people who lived elsewhere. But this reproach will not bear investigation.

  • Village & Community Magazine November 2020
    Village & Community Magazine November 2020 Keeping our Local Villages Connected Alstonefield, Butterton, Ecton, Elkstones, Warslow & Wetton Remembrance Day When I think about Remembrance Day, I recall being at the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium seeing my son Joseph playing at the nightly Last Post Ceremony. He first played at the Last Post Ceremony in 2010 with the City of Stoke Youth Brass band. The occasion was very moving, the Youth Brass band playing, veterans bearing standard flags and wreaths, the buglers playing the Last Post and the Reveille. Last year he was there again, with Silk Brass Band. The band was given special permission to march from the Market Square to the Menin Gate. A privilege normally reserved for Military Bands. The first time I witnessed Joe playing there he was nearly eighteen, he would have been old enough to march through that gate towards the battlefields, the trenches, and the front line. The names inscribed on the walls of the Menin Gate and other War Memorial sites were mainly of young men like Joe. Ordinary young men. It brought home to me the reality of the millions of young men’s lives, who died in war. At the end of the ceremony, the words of the Kohima Epitaph are read: When you go home tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today. These words echoed in my head. It is important to remember and not to forget. Those named on the Memorials were all someone’s son, brother, husband, or father. Their deaths had an impact on their loved ones, their homes, and their local community.
