We continue up to Hammersmith Bridge, cross back down Queen Elizabeth Walk and stop at Barnes Express for the Sunday papers and a croissant. What I’d really like for Easter... For Easter I will happily settle for a Creme Egg from Natsons and one of these silver leaf print scarves from Bazar, in duck egg blue - appropriately." Julia Bebington Prospect contributor & BCA Office Manager "Spring is a time when everyone starts coming out of hibernation! So it’s always a good time to meet up with friends over a spot of lunch and a bottle of wine - government restrictions allowing! There are so many lovely local eateries - though the black spaghetti with prawns at Arte Chef is one of my favourites - I missed it so much during lockdown! What I’d really like for Easter... I would love a bunch of white hyacinths. Or a big bunch of tulips - my favourites are parrot tulips in a fresh spring white or a vibrant pinky red. Sun Inn Flowers sells a wonderful selection." 3 Farrah & Pearce Sophie Farrah & Tom Pearce Prospect designers & contributors "We are huge animal lovers and springtime in Barnes is wonderful for wildlife spotting. We're lucky enough to have lots of birds in the garden (who often nest in our electricity meter box!), we love going to the Wetlands Centre to see the otters, ducks and more, and of course all the new life on the pond is just lovely to witness. What we’d really like for Easter... We'd love some freshly-baked hot cross buns from GAIL's or The Parish Bakery, and some delicious loose leaf tea from Orange Pekoe. A match made in heaven!" Leyla Hutchings Prospect subeditor & BCA Membership Secretary "I am always cheered by the rows of brilliant daffodils on Barnes Green - courtesy of the BCA Greenkeeper and his team of bulb-planting volunteers. Such an uplifting sight as we leave the winter behind us. What I’d really like for Easter... I shall be treating myself to a Ginger Spice fresh juice from Dolce Crema - its sunny colours will echo the golden flowers and hopefully counteract the Easter chocolate!" Emma Robinson Town Centre Manager and co-ordinator of the amazing volunteer efforts for the Barnes Covid-19 vaccination centre "I just love spring in Barnes. For me it is about longer days, spring flowers, warmer weather and Easter treats. We are privileged to have so many gorgeous walks to enjoy where we can watch nature come to life. I also love St Michael’s services at Easter time with the children. Don’t miss the BCA Virtual What I’d really like for Easter... Duck Race on For me, Easter is about chocolate.

    HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS WEDNESBURY (Inc. Kings Hill, Mesty Croft) 3rd. Edition - © 2014 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss.

    Guide Michelin Eating out in Pubs 2013

    INFORMATION PRESSE Boulogne, le 1 er novembre 2012 GUIDE MICHELIN EATING OUT IN PUBS 2013 L’édition 2013 du guide MICHELIN Eating Out in Pubs sera disponible en librairie et en ligne dès le vendredi 2 novembre au prix de 13,99 livres (16,99 euros en Irlande). Cette année, le guide recense plus de 550 pubs, dont 81 nouveaux établissements, situés dans tout le Royaume-Uni, depuis Kylesku en Écosse jusqu'à Perranuthnoe et Southwolt en Angleterre en passant par Cahersiveen en Irlande. Sous la direction de Michael Ellis, Directeur du guide MICHELIN, cette sélection montre que la qualité de la cuisine proposée dans les pubs ne cesse de s’améliorer, et que de plus en plus d'établissements choisissent de servir en priorité des produits régionaux. De nombreux pubs parviennent à relever le défi du rapport qualité-prix : « Les chefs n'hésitent plus à utiliser des pièces moins nobles afin de composer des menus à des prix plus abordables, notamment pour le déjeuner, souligne la rédactrice en chef du guide Rebecca Burr. Ils se montrent aussi plus souples que par le passé et acceptent plus facilement d'échanger les menus du bar et du restaurant. Certains établissements commencent même à proposer des petits-déjeuners, des brunchs et des pauses goûter l’après-midi.» Preuve de l’amélioration permanente de la qualité, deux nouveaux pubs se voient attribuer des étoiles MICHELIN cette année : le Hinds Head de Heston Blumenthal à Bray et le Red Lion Freehouse dirigé par Guy et Britt Manning, à East Chisenbury. Ces récompenses confirment que le Royaume-Uni dispose non seulement d'un solide patrimoine culinaire, mais compte également un grand nombre de chefs très talentueux et créatifs, qu’ils soient aux fourneaux ou propriétaires de pubs.

  • Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding

    Lancashire: a Chronology of Flash Flooding

    LANCASHIRE: A CHRONOLOGY OF FLASH FLOODING Introduction The past focus on the history of flooding has been mainly with respect to flooding from the overflow of rivers and with respect to the peak level that these floods have achieved. The Chronology of British Hydrological Events provides a reasonably comprehensive record of such events throughout Great Britain. Over the last 60 years the river gauging network provides a detailed record of the occurrence of river flows and peak levels and flows are summaried in HiflowsUK. However there has been recent recognition that much flooding of property occurs from surface water flooding, often far from rivers. Locally intense rainfall causes severe flooding of property and land as water concentrates and finds pathways along roads and depressions in the landscape. In addition, intense rainfall can also cause rapid rise in level and discharge in rivers causing a danger to the public even though the associated peak level is not critical. In extreme cases rapid rise in river level may be manifested as a ‘wall of water’ with near instantaneous rise in level of a metre or more. Such events are usually convective and may be accompanied by destructive hail or cause severe erosion of hillsides and agricultural land. There have been no previous compilations of historical records of such ‘flash floods’or even of more recent occurrences. It is therefore difficult to judge whether a recent event is unusual or even unique in terms of the level reached at a particular location or more broadly of regional severity. This chronology of flash floods is provided in order to enable comparisons to be made between recent and historical floods, to judge rarity and from a practical point of view to assess the adequacy of urban drainage networks.

  • Railway Is Local Pub of the Year

    Railway Is Local Pub of the Year

    FEBRUARY 2007 NUMBER 270 COVERING THE CITIES OF MANCHESTER & SALFORD, STOCKPORT, TAMESIDE, TRAFFORD, N.E. CHESHIRE & MACCLESFIELD Railway is Local Pub of the Year Second Win for Popular Pub he Railway on Portwood, the flagship outlet for the Porter Brewing Company of TRossendale, has been voted Stockport & South Manchester CAMRA Pub of the Year for 2007. The past year has been something of a roller coaster ride for this popular local – originally threatened with closure and then gaining a last-minute, three year reprieve, it now joins The award-winning Railway – enjoy it while it lasts the small select band of pubs that have won this prestigious award twice. Indeed not only has the Railway been local Pub of the Year, The Armoury is Runner-Up it has also gone on to win the Greater Manchester title and be a runner-up in the national Pub of the Year contest. The current incumbent, Martin Wood, has continued, and arguably surpassed, the high standards set by his predecessors. Perhaps less extrovert than those who have gone before him, Martin nevertheless has maintained the Railway as one of the highlights of the Stockport pub scene. The pub’s wide ranging appeal is well-known. Whatever your tipple there will be something for you. The beer lover is truly spoilt for choice. The full range of the Porter Brewing Company beers is the obvious highlight the stunningly bitter house beer, Railway Sleeper, the two Porter signature beers Sunshine and Pitch Porter and various specials. There is a regular guest mild and at weekends three guest beers from micro-brewers far and wide add to the range.
