  • Bath & North East Somerset: Area Profile
    BATH & NORTH EAST ! SOMERSET: AREA PROFILE ! Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) is a unitary authority with the historic city of Bath at its core joined to North East Somerset (formerly Wansdyke District). Bath is a cultural heritage centre and is wealthy, although South Bath is largely sprawling council housing estates with high levels of deprivation. North East Somerset has many towns that depended on mining industries, the last of these closed in the 1970s and some of the smaller towns and villages still struggle with high unemployment and low paid jobs. The voluntary sector is much weaker in this area. There is no dedicated Council for Voluntary Service and until 2012 this was provided through a service level agreement with CVS North Wiltshire. A new approach is currently being tried through Connecting Capacity. The voluntary sector is characterised by a few larger more established agencies such the Citizens Advice Bureau and Age Concern and numerous much smaller, less well funded organisations. B&NES is part of the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) area. Headlines: • Overall B&NES is not a deprived area, but • The most deprived areas of B&NES are there are some pockets of persistent relative parts of south-west Bath, Radstock, and deprivation which are extreme when seen Keynsham. Although only 4.3% of people against the wealth of much of the area live in deprived areas, 13% of children live • B&NES is the smallest of the West of in poverty England local authority areas by • The most prevalent issue within the overall

  • Nicholas Von Behr
    THE CLOTH INDUSTRY OF TWERTON FROM THE 1780s TO THE 1820s Nicholas von Behr During the period of the early Industrial Revolution, the West of England region acquired an internationally-acknowledged reputation for the manufacture of superfine woollen cloth, a superior quality textile, woven with yam made from the shorter, finer wool on the fleece, and specially finished to produce a smooth, felt-like surface. The region comprised two main topographical sub-regions: the Stroudwater, Cam and Little Avon valleys of southern Gloucestershire; and the Avon, Frome and Wylye valleys of western Wiltshire and north-east Somerset. The second of these sub-regions is commonly referred to as the Wiltshire-Somerset area, and within it lay the mills of the Bath area. During the period, wool textile manufacturing processes took place on mill sites at Batheaston, Bathwick and Twerton, or 'Twiverton' as it was then known. It is the sites on the south side of the two weirs across the River Avon at the last-named village, located about one-and-a-half miles to the west of Bath, which are the subject of this study (fig. 1). -· 1. Map of Twerton mill sites in the eighteenth century. This section of the Survey of Five Miles round the City of Bath by Thomas Thorpe, 1742, shows the River Avon with its two weirs, the Twerton mills on the south bank, and the Weston mills on the island created by the Weston Navigation Cut. THE CLOTH INDUSTRY OF TWERTON 89 The origins of cloth manufacturing at Twerton are inextricably linked with the River Avon.

  • Bath History of Social Housing Booklet
    The Best for the Most with the Least COUNCIL HOUSING IN BATH 1945-2013 – A SOCIAL HISTORY For eighty years Bath City Council was the builder of over 4000 properties rented to tenants whose rents were subsidised from local rates. As a pioneer in the building of good quality council houses at Dolemeads to the controversial Ballance Street development the city has provided appropriate homes for its poorest. This exhibition presents the story of the city’s provision, for those most in need, in peacetime and war.
