  • Barnsley Permit Scheme Consultation Report
    Barnsley Permit Scheme Consultation Report 1. Introduction On 12 June 2012 Barnsley MBC successfully introduced the Yorkshire Common Permit Scheme operating on type 0, 1, 2 and traffic sensitive streets. To build on this success and to achieve the benefits set out in the CBA, Barnsley Council intends to change the name of the scheme to the Barnsley Permit Scheme (BPS) and extend the scheme to all streets within its adopted highway network. This report is on the consultation for the Barnsley Permit Scheme. 2. Consultees Barnsley Council identified the relevant consultees and stakeholders whom have an interest in the expansion of the BPS. Details of all of the consultees are attached in Appendix A. Barnsley Council analysed their Street Works Register to identify all Statutory Undertakers that had undertaken any work since the commencement of the New Roads and Street Works Act. Following the same process made for the previous permit scheme consultations, every effort has been made to contact all of these organisations to give them the opportunity to take part in the consultation. In addition, Barnsley Council ensured that the adjacent local authorities were included in the consultee list, as well as organisations such as bus operators, freight organisations and emergency services. Wherever possible, an e-mail address for the consultee was obtained. Where no e-mail address was identified, a postal address was obtained. In total 67 consultees were identified and these were contained within the following groupings: Central Government 2 City Region 1 Emergency Services 3 EToN Provider 1 Government Agency 1 Highway Authority 2 Local Authority 12 Local Authority Group 1 Local Interest Group 4 Parish Councils 16 Transport Authority 2 Utility 21 Utility Company Group 1 3.

However, it wasn’t until between 1550 and 1700 that the industry expanded (Hill 2001, 54). These early mines were shallow, relatively small scale, short-lived operations because there were few transport links beyond local markets. These mines left few traces on the landscape and many did not survive long enough to be marked on the 1850s Ordnance Survey maps. This style of mining continued into the early 19 th century but the coming of railways in the mid 19 th and 20 th century and the building of the canals facilitated greater expansion. The greatest density of coal seams in the South Yorkshire coalfield was along the centre of the coal measures running through the east of Barnsley. This meant that although these seams had been worked for half a century longer than the concealed coal measures east of Barnsley there were similar reserves remaining (ibid, 14).

  • The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey
    Introduction: The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey Not only was Yorkshire by far the largest of the ancient counties of England, at 1,709,307 acres, but the West Riding alone exceeded in size every other county except Lincolnshire. The word riding is derived from the late Old English ‘thrithing’ or ‘thriding’, itself adapted from an Old Norse loan word, meaning a third part. Wapentake, similarly derived, was the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon hundred, and came from the symbolic flourishing of weapons to signify agreement when decisions were made in open-air assemblies at convenient sites, such as a river crossing or by a stone cross.1 The wapentakes continued to see to the levying of taxes, the raising of the militia and the maintenance of law and order and did not finally disappear until the reorganisation of local government in 1974. The West Riding was divided into eleven wapentakes: Ainsty, Agbrigg, Barkston Ash, Claro, Ewcross, Morley, Osgoldcross, Skyrack, Staincliffe, Staincross and Strafforth. The Ainsty, bounded by the rivers Ure, Ouse and Wharfe, had been annexed by Henry VI (d. 1471), king of England, to the city of York, as the county of the city, which was independent of all three ridings, but it was still considered to be a West Riding wapentake. The wapentakes were divided into townships, the vills of medieval documents. In the eastern parts of the West Riding many townships were coterminous with the ecclesiastical parishes and were referred to as parishes in the hearth tax returns, but the large moorland parishes in the west contained numerous townships.

At its heart is the Heritage at Risk Register, an online database containing details of each site known to be at risk. It is analysed and updated annually and this leaflet summarises the results. Each of our nine local offices now hosts a dedicated Heritage at Risk team, delivering national expertise locally. The good news is that we are on target to save 25% (1,137) of the sites that were on the Register in 2010 by 2015. From the historic battlefield at Towton to ancient barrows on the Wolds, this success is down to good partnerships with owners, developers, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Natural England, councils and local groups.
