    SWANAGE AREA FORUM INCLUDING SURROUNDING VILLAGES NEWSLETTER MARCH 2021 - No. 10 Welcome to the Swanage Area Forum and Swanage & Purbeck Development Trust March Newsletter. In these dark times, we can see the green shoots of Spring all around us, as the days lengthen and the increasing warmth and sunshine remind us that summer is not that far away. In this issue, you can see this reflected in the many uplifting contributions from our organisations and clubs throughout our communities, and the determination that this invisible Covid foe will not break us. I would also like to draw your attention to two particular items; firstly, as there is a ray of hope and cautious optimism appearing at the end of the very long Covid-19 tunnel, please read the important article on pages 2,3 and 4 from Dr Jason Clark of The Swanage Medical Practice with the latest Covid-19 update and the changes and possibilities for the near future. Secondly, you will see that The Swanage Area Forum will co-host a special Zoom People’s Assembly next Friday March 12th regarding The Dorset Local Plan Consultation. This public consultation comes to an end on March 15th, so If you would like to know more about the Dorset Plan and participate in the consultation process, even at this late stage, you can find details on Pages 16 and 17.

  • The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall

    The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall

    Urban Geology in London No. 37 The Stones of Osterley Park House Ruth Siddall Osterley Park House was designed and built by Robert Adam (1728-1792) in the late 18th Century, between 1761 and the 1780s. It was commissioned by the Child Family and superseded a Tudor Mansion on the same site. Adam had ‘total design’ control of the construction and interior decoration of the house. This assumes that Adam also had a hand in overseeing if not selecting the building materials used. This brief report summarises the building and decorative stones used in the building, as observed following a visit to Osterley Park House in June 2017. Portico and Courtyard Portland Whitbed is used for the pediment, balustrade, quoins and other stone dressings on the exterior of Osterley Park House. It is also used for paving and for the columns supporting the pediment. This stone is identified by the pale grey colour with darker fossilised shells of oysters, which now weather slightly proud of the surface. Sedimentary bedding alignment can be detected in both columns and in some flagstones due to the concentration of shell beds. Portland Whitbed is the most commonly used of three main building stones extracted from the Portland Limestone Formation which occurs in outcrop and subcrop on the Isle of Portland, a peninsula on the Dorset Coast. Whitbed contains variable fossil content, predominantly in the form of oyster shells with well-preserved, laminated shells and also fragments of the reef-forming algae Solenpora portlandica. Two other units are also extracted as building stone; the Basebed and the Roach.

Introduction The aim of this project is to identify ways to safeguard important scientific fossils from the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site. The identification of placements in accredited museums would enable intellectual access for scientific study and education. Two consulting companies Weightman Associates and Hidden Horizons have been commissioned to undertake this Project. Weightman Associates is a partnership of Gill Weightman and Alan Weightman; they have been in partnership for twenty years working on museum and geology projects. Hidden Horizons Ltd is a museum and heritage consultancy formed in 2013 by Will Watts. When UNESCO granted World Heritage status to the Dorset and East Devon Coast in 2001 it recognised the importance of the Site’s geology and geomorphology. The Jurassic Coast Management Plan 2014-2019 has as one of its aims to “To Conserve and enhance the Site and its setting for science, education and public enjoyment” and the Plan states that a critical success factor is “An increase in the number of scientifically important fossils found along the site that are acquired by or loaned back to local accredited museums”.

    PURBECK COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP - COMMUNITY PLAN FOR PURBECK PURBECK COMMUNITY 1.7. IntroductionSupporting Groups PARTNERSHIP There are other groups covering the following areas that will support the work of the Purbeck Community Partnership Task Groups: SPORT AND RECREATION Sport and recreation activities have traditionally been promoted for their own sake, however, they are now also being used to increase the quality of life for individuals and communities by successfully tackling locally identified social issues. Sport and recreation has a very important role in delivering many of the key issues that have been identified in the Purbeck Community Plan. Although sport and recreation has not been considered as a priority theme in its own right it can act as a 'vehicle' or 'tool' to help deliver the priority themes of crime reduction, transport, health, and young people. Winning the bid to host the Olympics in 2012 has guaranteed that nationally sport and recreation will have a high profile for the foreseeable future. The challenge that hosting the Olympics has set at a local level is in promoting greater participation and developing talent in competitive activities. Lead organisation: Purbeck District Council. Contact: Sport and Recreation Development Officer. Tel: 01929 557336. TOURISM Purbeck District Council Tourism Service aims to ensure that the community and economic benefits which tourism brings are maximised for the majority of the District's population, consistent with the need to minimise environmental impact. Tourism can help to drive forward priority and key issues within the community plan. This is achieved in partnership with a number of organisations including: Town & Parish Councils, Purbeck Heritage Committee, Purbeck Tourism Group, the Association of Purbeck Tourism Attractions, Swanage & Purbeck Hoteliers, the Best of Dorset Attractions Consortium, and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site team, to name a few.
