FISH MOVEMENT RECORDED AT AUTHORITY FISH COUNTERS - \°&S" 4.1 River Lune Forge Weir counter: prolonged periods of breakdown in 1985 due mainly to failures in the power supply. The figures obtained are therefore well below the true figures and interpretation should therefore, be cautious. A new supply cable is currently being laid. ** Skerton Weir counter monitors movement of fish at low flows only; the count is ••. incomplete. -28 - 4.2 RIVER KENT Basinghyll Counter, Sedgwick This counter was destroyed by a flood on 21st December 1985 and plans are in hand to re-build it at a different location. - 29 - 4.3 RIVER LEVEN Haverthwaite Counter (Eels dam) - 30 - 4.4 RIVER DUDDON Duddon Hall Counter 31 - MONTHLY TOTAL 4.5 RIVER RIBBLE CATCHMENT - 32 4.6 RIVER WYRE Garstang Counter 4.7 RIVER DERWENT Yearl Counter.

COUNTS OP SALMON AND SEA TROUT SPAWNING REDDS 5.1 North Cumbria Note In all these years, high and turbid river conditions during the autumn made redd counting difficult or impossible, and the figures given above are undoubtedly incomplete. - 34 - 5.2 West and South Cumbria Note High river levels for much of the spawning season resulted in incomplete counts on many rivers in 1983, and it is thought that many more fish spawned in the Rivers Cocker and Derwent than the bailiffs were able to record.

  • Country Iioijs1 of Greater Mancheste
    COUNTRY IIOIJS1 OF GREATER MANCHESTE * P .•» I COUNTRY HOUSES OF GREATER MANCHESTER EDITORS :J.S.F. WALKER & A.S.TINDALL (;itiL\n<it MANCHESTER ARCHAEOLOGICAL UNIT 1985 osi CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT The country house is part of the diverse and rich heritage of Greater Manchester. This volume follows the development of the country house from the Middle Ages to the present day, using a combination of .archaeological excavation, documentary research and survey to present a coherent study of a building type which reflects the social and economic development of the community in a singularly direct way. By their survival they .demonstrate the entrepreneurial skills of the owner and the abilities of those artisans who built and maintained them. The form and function of the country house change over the centuries, and the fabric of individual buildings mirrors these changes and encapsulates much of the history of the time. Many of our country houses are in good hands, well maintained and with a secure future. Many others described in this volume are already lost, and even the land upon which they stood has been so disturbed as to allow no further site investigation. Their loss, in many cases, was inevitable but I hope that this publication will create an awareness that others, too valuable to be allowed to disappear, are at risk. The protection and refurbishment of old buildings is costly, but I am confident that present conservation policies, allied with improving public and private attitudes towards preservation, have created a strong body of opinion in favour of the constructive re-use of the best of those which survive.

  • Environmental Baseline Report PDF 642 KB
    July 2013 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy Strategic Environmental Assessment Scoping Report – Environmental Baseline Report 1 Local Flood Risk Management Strategy SEA Environmental Baseline The collection and review of baseline information is a crucial part of the SEA process. It is essential to gather sufficient baseline information on the current and likely future state of the environment in order to be able to adequately predict and assess the significant effects of a plan. The data collected to characterise the evidence base for the SEA of the strategy has been derived from numerous secondary sources and no new investigations or surveys have been undertaken as part of the scoping process. The information presented in this Scoping Report represents an outline of the evidence base by environmental topics. It may be necessary to collect further data against which to assess the potential environmental effects of the LFRMS with regard to monitoring requirements. 2 1 Introduction 1.1 The Borough of Bury is located in the North West of England, situated within the Greater Manchester metropolitan area. As an integral part of Greater Manchester, Bury has an important role to play in accommodating the spatial priorities for the North West region. Bury also has strong links with parts of Lancashire located, towards the north, via the M66 corridor and Irwell Valley. Bury is bounded to the south by the authorities of Manchester and Salford, to the east by Rochdale, to the west by Bolton and to the north by Rossendale and Blackburn and Darwen. 1.2 Bury benefits from good transport links with the rest of Greater Manchester and beyond, which has led to the Borough’s attractiveness as a commuter area.
