  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • History 1890 – 1966
    A HISTORY OF GLOUCESTER HARBOUR TRUSTEES By W. A. Stone Clerk to the Trustees 1958 -1966 PART 1 1890 - 1966 CONTENTS Chapter Page 1 Origin, Constitution and Membership, with details of Navigational Aids erected prior to the incorporation of the Gloucester Harbour Trustees on 5 July 1890 3 2 Navigational Aids 20 3 Finances 39 4 Spanning the Severn Estuary 51 5 New Works and other installation in the Severn Estuary 56 6 Stranding of Vessels and other Incidents 61 7 Northwick Moorings 71 8 Officers and Staff 74 1 FOREWORD In compiling this History I have endeavoured to give the reasons for the appointment of a body of Trustees to control a defined area of the Severn Estuary, and to tell of the great amount of work undertaken by the Trustees and the small staff in administering the requirements of the 1890 Act. It is probable that I have given emphasis to the erection and upkeep of the Navigational Aids, but it must be realised that this was the main requirement of the Act, to ensure that the Trustees, as a Harbour authority, disposed of their income in a manner which was calculated to benefit the navigation of the Severn Estuary. A great deal of research has been necessary and the advice and assistance given to me by the present Officers, and by others who held similar posts in the past, is greatly appreciated. Without their help the task would have been much more formidable. W A Stone Clerk to the Trustees December 1966 2 Chapter One ORIGIN, CONSTITUTION AND MEMBERSHIP WITH DETAILS OF NAVIGATIONAL AIDS ERECTED PRIOR TO THE INCORPORATION OF THE GLOUCESTER HARBOUR TRUSTEES ON 5 JULY 1890 To obtain the reasons for the constitution of a body of Trustees to control a defined area of the River Severn, it is necessary to go back to the year 1861.

  • Forest of Dean & Wye Valley Self Catering Holidays
    FOREST OF DEAN & WYE VALLEY SELF CATERING HOLIDAYS Stank Farm, known to some locals as 'the stank', is situated in the picturesque village of Clearwell within walking distance of Clearwell Castle and Caves & Puzzle Wood. 'The stank' you will be relieved to hear is a very old word for pond or body of water and has nothing to do with the word stink! Ask the owners about the farm's history. The village also boasts 2 pubs, restaurants, cafe and a recreational ground. Nearby is Perrygrove steam railway and The Iron Age Experience. The old market town of Coleford only 2 miles away is a thriving community where all provisions can be bought 7 days a week. The Grade II listed farmhouse we believe dates back to 16th Century. The Lodge is a wooden log cabin that is set away from the house and sleeps 4/6 people. All of the self-catered accommodation has private access and outside space and all guests are welcome to enjoy the land and help on the farm if they would like to. The farm house and outbuildings are set within 17 acres with a stream running through and depending on the time of year there are sheep, cattle, pigs & chickens. The owners Andrew & Louise Salter and their 2 children William aged 14 and Lily aged 11. They offer a relaxing, comfortable and tranquil holiday within easy reach of the Royal Forest of Dean, Wye Valley and Vale of Leadon. The surrounding area offers walking, cycling, riding, climbing, canoeing, fishing, quad biking etc, Symonds Yat, Tintern, Monmouth, Clearwell castle, Welsh mountains, Newent, Ross- on-Wye and many other pretty villages and for younger children, Clearwell Caves, Dean Forest Railway, Model Village, Butterfly Zoo and plenty of nature trails etc.

  • Inquiry Into the Priorities for the Future of Welsh Rail Infrastructure
    Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru National Assembly for Wales Y Pwyllgor Menter a Busnes Enterprise and Business Committee Ymchwiliad i’r Blaenoriaethau ar gyfer Inquiry into the Priorities for the future dyfodol Seilwaith y Rheilffyrdd yng of Welsh Rail Infrastructure Nghymru WRI 11 WRI 11 Cyngor Sir Swydd Gaerloyw Gloucestershire County Council Strategic Planning Shire Hall Gloucester GL1 2TH [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam National Assembly for Wales - Inquiry into the Priorities for the future of Welsh Rail Infrastructure I have been made aware of the above Inquiry. On behalf of Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) I have the following officer comments to make. GCC’s main interest is the Maesteg/Cardiff to Gloucester/Cheltenham service operated by Arriva Trains Wales (ATW) and Lydney station also operated by ATW. Lydney is the only main line railway station within the Forest of Dean and as such is an important component of the area’s infrastructure providing sustainable transport options for residents and visitors alike. Lydney has an allocation of approximately 1900 houses along with additional employment land up to 2026 in their Adopted Core Strategy. Consequently, investment in local rail infrastructure is essential to enable sustainable growth and provide connectivity to the wider area. I have confined my comments to the questions below and they reflect the County’s position as a neighbouring ‘border’ authority. High level priorities for the development of rail infrastructure to provide the capacity and connectivity necessary to support the social and economic well-being of Wales; Response Electrification of the valley lines around Cardiff will improve capacity and connectivity across the city and wider area as well as improving links to other areas of Wales and England including Gloucestershire.

  • Geomap Leaflet
    Opposite Geomap is a memorial sculpture to honour those who worked and died in the mining and quarrying industry. It was constructed by Graham Tyler and John Wakefield and consists of three elements: stone, iron and coal. Freeminer Norman Ennis (right) and colleague Ron Baldwin point to the mine where they worked. Over 700 years ago King Edward I gave Dean miners the right to mine anywhere within the Forest after they helped him win an important battle, using their mining skills to tunnel under Berwick Castle. A Freeminer must be over 21, born within the Royal Forest of Dean, and have worked down a local coalmine for a year and a day. Directions Geomap is at the New Fancy Viewpoint in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, two miles south of the Speech House Hotel (see map).
