Catalogue Transfer Project Temporary closure of Kent Archive and Local History service at the Kent History and Library Centre, 9-26 December 2019 Work on phase 1 of our Catalogue Transfer Project by staff and volunteers is now drawing to a close. This means that we have now almost completed typing up and uploading all of the outstanding paper catalogues that predated the introduction of our electronic cataloguing software and its online counterpart. In total, we have completed typing up almost 500 archive catalogues. The next phase of this project is to enable readers to order documents directly from our online catalogue. In 2017, Kent Archives launched its own website and integrated catalogue, enabling readers to find out more about our services and collections all in one place at www.kentarchives.org.uk. Making our collections orderable Some of the rare books held in Kent Archives’ local history collection that require catalogue online will involve checking all of entries to be created, as well as packaging, barcoding and locating, prior to being orderable on our existing online catalogues for our online catalogue. errors in the structure and arrangement of the entries, which if uncorrected would prevent our users from being able to locate and identify relevant records. We also need to produce catalogue entries for our extensive local history collections, which have previously only been partially listed on the Kent libraries catalogue.

  • The Snowdon Horseshoe
    Contextualised task 34 The Snowdon Horseshoe Teaching Notes This task is based on the mathematics involved in creating a route card for a journey in the mountains. In particular students will investigate methods of estimating timings. This will involve using worded formulae and, ultimately, trigonometry. While not essential, the whole task could be completed using a spreadsheet. If this approach is to be used, all the data is provided in an accompanying file. Task A: Naismith’s Rule Outline Students are presented with information about the route known as the Snowdon Horseshoe. They use Naismith’s Rule to calculate an estimate of the time taken on sections of the route. They have the option of creating a route profile. You will need: Teachers’ script PowerPoint Question sheet Spreadsheet (optional) Mark scheme Task B: Langmuir’s Refinements Outline Students consider a refinement to Naismith’s Rule which provides an improved model for estimating timings. They calculate angles of elevation that are needed to enable ‘Langmuir’s Refinement’ to be used. You will need: Question sheet Spreadsheet (optional) Mark scheme Task A: Teachers’ script for PowerPoint presentation The text in the right-hand boxes provides a possible script to be read to students. However, it is probably preferable to use your own words and elaboration. When questions are asked, time for discussion in pairs / groups should be provided. Ensure that students are given opportunity to explain their reasoning in response to these questions. All students need to understand the concepts in order to make progress with the task. Slide Keep this slide on the screen until you are ready 1 to start the presentation The Snowdon Horseshoe Slide Has anyone ever climbed Snowdon? Do they 2 know which way they climbed it? There are a number of different ways to reach the top of Snowdon – the highest point in Wales.

SEKON, Editor of the "Railway Magazine" and "Hallway Year Book, Author of "A History of the Great Western Railway," *•., 4*. SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION.

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society •ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1966 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31sT DECEMBER, 1966 Council presents its One Hundred and Eighth Report, and the State- ment of Accounts for 1965. OBITUARY It is with the greatest regret that Council records the death of Mrs. Nancy Piercy Fox, which occurred on 30th March, 1966. She had been a valued member of the Society since 1936, and a member of Council since 1953. She occupied a foremost place in the field of excavation and, from 1955 to her death, conducted on behalf of the Society a full investigation into the problem of the Iron Age in Kent, a most valuable addition to knowledge by which she will be especially remembered. A Fund has been established by the Society to her memory, by the gift of £2,000 from the Keston Field Club and Dr. E. V. Piercy Fox, for the publication of archmo- logical research, an object in which she took a very close personal interest. A full obituary appears in this volume. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Annual General Meeting was held in the Museum, Maidstone, on 14th May, 1966, the President in the Chair. Council's Annual Report and Statement of Accounts for 1965 were received and adopted. After the luncheon interval, an audience of eighty members and their friends heard a most interesting lecture by Mr. C. R. Councer, F.S.A., embodying the results of his recent researches on the Dissolution of the Monasteries in Kent.

  • “Lucet in Tenebris Veritas”: the Records of Kent's Two Dioceses
    Issue 15, Autumn 2019 Image from U269/O186/2 (c.1777), Lt. Notebook of Lieutenant Whitworth of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. “Lucet in Tenebris Veritas”: The Records of Kent’s Two Dioceses (A Day Conference) 28 September 9.30 a.m. for 10.00 a.m., Kent History and Library Centre. Tickets: £12 to include a buffet lunch, booking essential. Don’t forget Kent Archives’ special one-day conference that is being held to mark the recent consolidation of the archives of Kent’s two ecclesiastical dioceses, Rochester and Canterbury, under one roof at the Kent History and Library Centre. To promote this landmark event, we are adopting the Latin motto of the seventeenth-century notary public William Somner, whose penwork can be found in contemporary documents found among the archives. Lucit in tenebris veritas, meaning ‘the truth shines in darkness’, expounds the effect that we hope our speakers will have: that is, by exploring some of the rich diversity of material found in these collections they will shed light – where perhaps there was previously darkness – on a range of topics relevant to people interested in different sorts of history, including family, local, cultural, and ecclesiastical. Documents from both collections will be on display. The conference will feature papers by: • Ken Fincham (University of Kent) on the Clergy of the Church of England Database • Catherine Richardson (University of Kent) on the early modern household • Timothy Brittain-Catlin (University of Kent) on Queen Anne’s Bounty • Celia Heritage (Ancestry Progenealogists) on wills and probate records for the family historian • Sheila Sweetinburgh (Canterbury Christ Church University) on lay piety in late medieval Kent • Paula Simpson (Wren Library, Trinity College Cambridge) on the involvement of women in early modern tithe disputes For further information or bookings please call us on 03000 420673 or email [email protected].

  • Snowdon 500 – Route Descriptions
    Snowdon 500 – Route Descriptions About Snowdon Snowdon is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Its grandeur impresses the visitor no matter which direction one looks at it. Its shape is like a starfish with six magnificent ridges radiating out, each with their own unique character and make up. The deep cwmoedd (glaciated valleys) dropping down from the ridges range from the easily accessible to those only reached by very experienced walkers and climbers. Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales at 1085 m or 3560 ft, also offers a unique bio-diversity of rare flowers and insects, wonderful volcanic rock formations, fossils and disused mine works. For more information about the mountain and places to stay nearby visit www.snowdon.com Miners Track After registering and signing in at the start point in the car park in front of the Legacy – Royal Victoria Hotel you will be transported by our free shuttle bus to Pen Y Pass where you will receive your pre climb briefing before setting off for the summit of Mt Snowdon. The Miners Track to Llyn Glaslyn was built during the last century to serve the Britannia Copper Mines, abandoned in 1917. The Track is well defined and obvious until you reach Llyn Glaslyn but after that the path to the summit is considerably steeper and can be a serious undertaking especially in winter. The path starts at the far end of Pen Y Pass car park. At first the path contours gently with fine views down the Gwynant Valley on your left.

  • Hill Walking & Mountaineering
    Hill Walking & Mountaineering in Snowdonia Introduction The craggy heights of Snowdonia are justly regarded as the finest mountain range south of the Scottish Highlands. There is a different appeal to Snowdonia than, within the picturesque hills of, say, Cumbria, where cosy woodland seems to nestle in every valley and each hillside seems neatly manicured. Snowdonia’s hillsides are often rock strewn with deep rugged cwms biting into the flank of virtually every mountainside, sometimes converging from two directions to form soaring ridges which lead to lofty peaks. The proximity of the sea ensures that a fine day affords wonderful views, equally divided between the ever- changing seas and the serried ranks of mountains fading away into the distance. Eryri is the correct Welsh version of the area the English call Snowdonia; Yr Wyddfa is similarly the correct name for the summit of Snowdon, although Snowdon is often used to demarcate the whole massif around the summit. The mountains of Snowdonia stretch nearly fifty miles from the northern heights of the Carneddau, looming darkly over Conwy Bay, to the southern fringes of the Cadair Idris massif, overlooking the tranquil estuary of the Afon Dyfi and Cardigan Bay. From the western end of the Nantlle Ridge to the eastern borders of the Aran range is around twenty- five miles. Within this area lie nine distinct mountain groups containing a wealth of mountain walking possibilities, while just outside the National Park, the Rivals sit astride the Lleyn Peninsula and the Berwyns roll upwards to the east of Bala. The traditional bases of Llanberis, Bethesda, Capel Curig, Betws y Coed and Beddgelert serve the northern hills and in the south Barmouth, Dinas Mawddwy, Dolgellau, Tywyn, Machynlleth and Bala provide good locations for accessing the mountains.

The National Park Authority receives about 500-600 planning applications each year, and the revised LDP will provide the foundation for determining each planning application that we receive. This LDP’s predecessor (Eryri LDP 2007-2022) had performed well against targets, and its Strategy was considered to be effective or ‘sound’. In view of this, and following consultation with relevant stakeholders, the Authority decided that a ‘short form revision’ was therefore considered appropriate. In simple terms, this basically means limited changes have been proposed to the revised LDP and the overall strategy for the revised LDP 2016-2031 remains the same as the previous LDP. There have been some important legislative changes in Wales over recent years, with the creation of the Planning (Wales) Act 2015, Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and the Environment (Wales) Act 2016. These legislations have helped shape the content of this revised LDP. It has helped how we use both our land and other natural resources – both of which are essential for us to achieve the well-being of a sustainable Wales.
