DELIVERING THE VILLAGE MASTERPLAN 9. CONCLUSION 10. APPENDICES 1. INTRODUCTION Toome, positioned at the confluence of the River Bann and Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland, is located approximately twelve miles west of Antrim town with a population of 722 (2001 Census). The village derives its name from the Irish Tuaim, a ‘tumulus’ or mound of earth or stones raised over a grave, which can literally be translated as ‘burial mound’ or ‘pagan burial place.’ Well documented in Irish language sources due to its strategic importance at the mouth of the Bann, one early reference of the village is made in the 7th century monk Tírechán’s account of St Patrick’s journey through Ireland who travelled through the area. © OSNI “There must have been formerly at this place both a sandbank ford across the river and a sepulchral mound near it, for in the Tripartite Life it is called Fearsat Tuama, the farset or ford of the tumulus; but in the annals it is generally called Tuaim.” Archbishop Uilliam Seóighe (Joyce) Excavation work immediately east of the Toome Canal has unearthed the remains of the late 17th century Toome Castle, one of many defensive castles constructed around the shores of Lough Neagh during the 1600’s. Recent excavation work carried out in advance of the A6 Toome Bypass in 2003, revealed evidence of the earliest phase of Irish prehistory settlement on Lough Neagh including Mesolithic hut sites and longboats dating between 5500 and 5200BC. ‘Riverlines’ an eight metre high stainless steel and neon column, commissioned by TIDAL (Toome Industrial Development, Amenities and Leisure Ltd) and designed by Ballintoy based artist Chris Wilson, was inspired by the rich imagery and heritage of the Toome area and takes pride of place alongside the new Bypass, rapidly becoming an iconic and widely recognisable piece of public art at this gateway location. Like many towns in Northern Ireland, Toome and its people experienced challenging times through the 30 year Troubles. More recently however the village has witnessed a form of renaissance and renewed sense of civic pride, widely due to the strong sense of community spirit evident within the village and the proactive work carried out by the focussed community groups present. This village masterplan for Toome seeks to build on these strong community values through the incorporation of a vision and initiatives © Chris Wilson that celebrate the villages strong historical connections, rediscovers its abundant natural asset base and contributes to the quality of life for its residents, workers and visitors. © OSNI Introduction 2.

While non-statutory in nature, a masterplan is an effective tool that provides direction for both physical and non-physical interventions that help shape open space, buildings and landscape in response to growing economic, technological, demographic and social changes. A masterplan should provide flexibility by identifying key principles as opposed to finite blueprint solutions. It includes a strategic vision and concept for how a place might develop and should include sufficient detail at key locations so that the vision can be tested for economic and functional viability. By studying and thinking about the village holistically, it is intended that individual projects can be coordinated to maximise their contribution to making Toome a better place in which to live, work, play, invest and visit. This plan will not replace statutory planning policy for the area, but will help key organisations from the public, private and community sectors to plan for and target their investment wisely. The purpose of the Masterplan is to provide a strategic vision for the comprehensive and sustainable development of Toome village over the next 5 to 15 years. 2.2 Masterplan Team The Village Masterplan process was overseen by a Steering Group comprising officers, officials and elected representatives of Antrim Borough Council, the local community and several community associations. The masterplan was prepared by the multidisciplinary consultant team The Paul Hogarth Company (Urban Designers and Landscape Architects) with specialised costing services provided by Nolan Ryan Tweeds. Context 2.3 Masterplan Process The steps taken throughout the course of the Masterplan process are outlined with the graphic above. During the initial ‘Information Gathering’ stage, numerous site visits and surveys were conducted each supported by detailed photographic records, while desktop research involving the review of existing plans and initiatives was also undertaken. Comprehensive stakeholder consultation also formed a key component of the information gathering stage and included an open public consultation event in addition meetings with numerous statutory agencies. The analysis stage involved the examination of land and building uses in the context of the historic growth of the village as well as gaining an understanding from the feedback gained from earlier consultation meetings. Guided by the Steering Group, a strong concept and vision statement with accompanying aims and objectives were then formulated which set the scene for the key physical, social and economic initiatives that ultimately formed the village Masterplan. Following on from the success of the earlier public consultation event, a public exhibition was held at Toome House enabling residents of Toome to review the draft Masterplan and submit their comments. A copy of the Consultation Report is included within the Appendices. From the outset of this project, the Steering Group emphasised the importance of MASTERPLAN PROCESS gaining input from a large cross section of village residents in order to help shape the Masterplan.

  • Creates a Barrier to Upstream Juvenile Eel Migration, for Onward Stocking Into L
    496 EIFAC/ICES WGEEL Report 2008 creates a barrier to upstream juvenile eel migration, for onward stocking into L. Ne‐ agh. Elvers are also trapped at the same location and stocked into the Lough. The yellow eel fishery (May–September, 5 days a week) supports 80–90 boats each with a crew of two men using draft nets and baited longlines. Eels are collected and marketed centrally by the Co‐operative. Around 300 families derive and depend on income from the fishery. Through the Co‐operative, yellow eel fishers are paid the market price for their catch. Silver eels are caught in weirs in the Lower River Bann. Profit from the less labour‐intensive silver eel fishery sustains the management of the whole co‐operative venture, providing working capital for policing, marketing and stocking activity and an out of season bonus payment for yellow eel fishers at Christmas. Natural recruitment has been supplemented since 1984 by the purchase of glass eel. Approximately 77 million additional glass eel have been stocked by the LNFCS. Re‐ views on the fishery, its history and operation can be found in Kennedy, 1999 and Rosell et al., 2005. The cross‐border Erne system is comparable in size to L. Neagh and produces a fish‐ ery yield in the region of 35–50 t of eels per year. Within N. Ireland, Upper and Lower Lough Erne sustain small‐scale and declining yellow and silver eel fisheries. Elvers are trapped at the mouth of the River Erne using ladders placed at the base of the hy‐ droelectric facility that spans the Erne, and trucked into the Erne lake system for stocking.

HOPE, K.C.S.I. 5 CLE. BOMBAY CIVIL SERVICE (RETIRED) PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION '9°3 PREFACE In 1894 I was called upon by some members of the Fulton family, to which my mother and my wife belonged, for information as to their pedigree, and it gradually came about that, with their general consent and at the desire of Mr. Ashworth P. Burke, I revised the proofs of the account given in Burke's Colonial Gentry, published in 1895, ar) d eventually compiled the fuller and more accurate notice in Burke's Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, edition of 1898, Vol. II., Ireland, pp. 156-58. In the researches thus necessitated, a large number of incidents, dates, alliances, etc., came to light which were inadmissible into the formal Pedigree which was proved and recorded by the Heralds' College in the last-mentioned year, and could not be given within the limits (very liberal though they were) prescribed by Mr. Burke. To preserve, without intolerable prolixity, all available information, is the object of the following pages. The materials for this task originally at my disposal, in addition to the first notice in the Landed Gentry of 1862, consisted only of (1) a letter and some brief memoranda in the hand- writing of my uncle, John Williamson Fulton, with corrections thereon by his sister, Anne Hope (my mother), and a letter of hers to me, all falling within the period 1861-63, and (2) a long detailed account up to the then date which he dictated to me at Braidujle House in September 1872, with copies of McVeigh, Camac, Casement and Robinson pedigrees, which he then allowed me to make.
