Rgt News Issue 6 RGT NEWS ISSUE 6 JULY 2011 EDITORIAL Writing this Editorial is a little like writing a non- committal School Report—steady but not spectac- ular progress As work at Baylham Lock nears its completion (wouldn’t it be good to see a pair of gates fitted there!), your Committee devoted a special meeting to planning for the future and their deliberations, led by our energetic Restoration Manager, Martin Bird, are reproduced in full in this Newsletter, together with the latest of his regular Restoration Up-Dates In September, we are holding an Open Day at Baylham for the Suffolk Local History Council and the following day will be taking part in the National Open Heritage Week- end—details on Page 2 Spencer Greystrong has spent an enormous amount of time co-ordinating the new Walk Maps along a section of the River Gipping and details are on Page 10 Page 16 shows the recent and forthcoming Talk Presentations—inevitably the more of these we do, the less there are—however we feel that they still have a very benefi- cial effect by spreading the word and at the same time bringing in useful revenue—if you know of any organisation we can talk to, please let us know On Page 5 we reproduce the latest information with regard to the situation of water resources in various parts of the country—the recent wet weather has hopefully eased the situation but there are still some restrictions—check the web-site for latest situation Lewis Tyler 1 A NOTE FOR YOUR DIARY! Our Heritage Open Day 2011 will be 11 September 2011 Heritage Open Days celebrates England’s architecture and culture by allowing visitors free access to interesting properties that are either not usually open, or would normally charge an entrance fee. Heritage Open Days also includes tours, events and activities that focus on local archi- tecture and culture. Organised by volunteers - usually property owners or managers - for local people, Heritage Open Days is England’s biggest and most popu- lar voluntary cultural event. Last year the event attracted around 1 mil- lion visitors. English Heritage gives central co-ordination and a national voice to the event. Heritage Open Days provides visitors with a unique opportunity to ex- plore and enjoy these sometimes hidden, often curious and always in- teresting places in English cities, towns and villages - and completely free of charge. The River Gipping Trust will be taking part for the first time by holding an Open Day at Baylham Lock on Sunday, 11th Sep- tember 2011 from 10.00 - 16.00 hours Galloways No 87 Bus Service passes the end of the road lead- ing to the Rare Breeds Farm and Baylham Lock COME & SEE US ! 2 REPORT OF THE RIVER GIPPING TRUST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Trust held its third Annual General Meeting on 13th May 2011 when the meeting room at Needham Market’s Community Centre was filled with members attending to hear the business of the meeting, and to be addressed by Mr Ben Gummer, Member of Par- liament for Ipswich. The Town Mayor of Need- ham Market was also a guest and welcomed the members. After the re- election of retiring trus- tees Gerry Crease and Lewis Tyler, Brian Annis was elected to become a Trustee and subsequently the Trust’s Chairman. He spoke warmly of the previous two chairmen and their contribution the on- going success of the Trust. Members then heard about the progress of the restoration, finance, and future plans which included an Open Day at Baylham Lock for the Heritage Weekend in September. After the conclusion of the AGM business, Mr Gummer spoke enthusiasti- cally about his involvement in the regeneration of Ipswich’s waterfront and his hopes for the future of the area. He commented that in the 1980’s, Ipswich had turned its back on the River Orwell after the closure of the major manufacturers in the town. He felt that the restoration of a water course from Stowmarket to Ipswich in the way of the River Gipping, would bring some commerce back. The public needed to be made aware of the gems in Ipswich, and a voice to attract visitors to the area. There was a need to restore the river walk and make it more attractive. The proposed Tesco site was one in which he had some input, and he took on board the Trust’s concern regarding the new flood walls. He thanked the Trust for everything that it was doing and encour- aged the members to continue with the good work. Mitzi Tyler 3 FROM THE TREASURERS COMPUTER The last 6 months have been comparatively quiet on the financial front. We haven’t been spending too much – in fact we’ve got £8100 in our various bank accounts which is £700 more than we had at the beginning of the year. We’ve had several donations this year, the largest of which was from Frances Hart, one of our staunchest supporters. She does illustrated talks about the canal systems both in this country and the rest of the world. All the income from those talks she donates to the Trust, a total of £675 this year. Scrap metal prices continue to rise – the current price is £170 a tonne and we’ve made over £500 from that source. Membership income continues at a steady rate; we have received £450 this year. We are also benefitting from one of our members who donates a percentage of his eBay sales to the Trust. If you would to help in this way, when you create your listing, just below the price you’ll see a box that allows you choose a charity. Find us in the list and chose the percentage you would like to donate. Our expenditure this year has been quite low although the sum of £1470 on resto- ration does sound quite a lot! The single largest part of that was the £520 we spent on sand, ballast, lime and cement, the ‘bread and butter’ of all our restora- tion work. The next largest item was the £440 we spent repairing the bridge at Bosmere. However we had a donation of £220 from Mid Suffolk DC towards that expendi- ture. We are also feeling the effects of the ever-rising costs of diesel and petrol and that has cost us over £200 this year. The other interesting item was the £240 we have spent to rent a container. We have had a very generous offer by Gipping Homes at Baylham to site a container in a secure part of their property. As we get closer to completing the restoration work on Baylham lock we will need to move our equipment out of the shed be- longing to the Onians Trust so we have taken the opportunity to prepare for that eventuality. That’s my report over for another few months, but if you would like to know more, please get in touch. Spencer Greystrong 4 WATER RESOURCES UPDATE FROM BRITISH WATERWAYS 6th May 2011 March and April this year have been the second driest in 100 years and British Waterways has experienced exceptionally high numbers of boaters taking to the nation’s canals to enjoy the warm weather and additional holidays. Despite this, water resources are holding up well across most of the country. Adam Comerford, group hydrology manager at British Waterways, said: “Once again we are experiencing unusually hot and dry weather conditions for this time of year. This, coupled with the long Bank Holidays weekends has meant our waterways have experienced huge numbers of boaters moving around the network. While this is extremely positive and great news for the nations’ canals there are a small number of areas we are watching with some caution with re- gard to water supply. “Firstly, the Rochdale Canal at Sowerby Bridge which is supplied by a pumped abstraction from the River Calder, and is currently subject to an Environment Agency (EA) restriction. The EA issued a stoppage notice on 5th May which has meant that for the foreseeable future we have had to restrict the numbers of boaters passing through Tuel lock at Sowerby Bridge. Bookings can be made by calling the Red Bull office on 01782 779912. Subject to rainfall further re- strictions may be necessary. Asking boaters for help “In addition, we are also looking at the summit section of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. We have been able to modify our modelling given the exceptional drought conditions which continued all the way through last year’s main boating season. As a result we will be putting some passage restrictions in place on Monday 9th May. Full details are available on www.waterscape.com/ waterwatch. We are asking our boating customers to help us by doubling up at locks, waiting for others boaters before setting locks and ensuring paddles are closed. “The rivers which support the Monmouth & Brecon and Gloucester & Sharpness Canals are also experiencing low flows and we have been restricted in terms of how much water we can use from these rivers. “We have already had a number of instances of vandalism across the network which needlessly wastes millions of litres of water and we would ask boaters to report any suspicious behaviour to the local police. “On the whole the picture is positive, with most reservoir holdings within normal range, if slightly below long term average for the time of year, and we remain optimistic about water supplies across the country. The situation on the Roch- dale, Leeds & Liverpool, Monmouth & Brecon and Gloucester & Sharpness Ca- nals is being reviewed daily and www.waterscape.com/waterwatch has full de- tails.

  • Flood and Coast News
    Suffolk Flood and Coastal News – December 2016 In this newsletter: 1. Introduction 2. National reviews into flooding 3. Updates from the coast and estuaries 4. Updates from other flood management projects 1. Introduction Much has happened nationally since our last newsletter – the Brexit vote, new Government Ministers… Our newsletter focusses on providing you with brief updates on the many flood and coastal activities taking place both nationally and locally, providing links for those of you wanting to know more. 2. National reviews into flooding The Government has recently released two reports which followed the 2016 floods in Cumbria and elsewhere, looking at the country’s flood resilience and ways to manage it better in the future - the National Flood Resilience Review 2016 and the EFRA committee review. Both reports support greater use of Natural Flood Management (NFM) measures such as holding water upstream, improving ways to describe flood risk to the public and ensuring key infrastructure and utilities are more resilient to extreme flood events. There is also a commitment to investment in the deployment of temporary flood defences and more scientific research into long term flood risk. The EFRA report also suggested changes to the Environment Agency and flood governance structures but these are not widely supported politically. 3. Updates from the coast and estuaries 3.1 Suffolk Coast Forum’s 5th annual community conference, ‘Suffolk – towards a resilient future for our estuaries and coast’ was held in October at Snape Maltings. The conference focussed on future planning and new ways of working around our coast and estuaries. Delegates heard from leading UK environmentalist Tony Juniper; Daniel Johns, the head of adaptation at the Government’s advisory UK Committee on Climate Change; Dr Therese Coffey, Suffolk Coastal MP and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at Defra with responsibility for flood and coastal management and Mark Farrah, from conference sponsor Balfour Beatty.

This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the East Suffolk catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The East Suffolk CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England Tidal flooding can occur within rivers and estuaries. and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland There is a significant risk of tidal flooding in East Suffolk flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first because the coastal land and land around the estuaries is time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, low-lying. Tidal flooding can occur from the River Gipping from rivers, ground water, surface water and tidal in the ports, docklands and some areas of Ipswich.

  • St.Paul's Church, Hills Rd, Cambridge Is the New Venue for Our Next Branch Meeting on Saturday, 7 December at 14.00 Hrs
    ISSUE160 December 2013 Internet at www.railfuture.org.uk www.railfuture.org.uk/east html St.Paul's Church, Hills Rd, Cambridge is the new venue for our next Branch Meeting on Saturday, 7 December at 14.00 hrs. The main topic will be Cambridge Railway Station and its development within the larger scheme for CB1 submitted by Brookgate Developments. Our Guest Speaker will Geraint Hughes of Greater Anglia Railways with, hopefully, contributions from a representative of Brookgate. There will be plenty of opportunity for questions. The focus will not be on the Brookgate scheme per se, but on its relationship to the railway and its customers. So do join us for what promises to be a stimulating meeting. 1 NEWS Halesworth Station Footfall Count 2013 Railfuture East Anglia joined up with the East Suffolk Travellers' Association at Halesworth Station on October 17th to count the passengers using trains and buses from the station, Reports, Mike Farahar. The numbers were up an impressive 43% compared to the same time last year following the introduction of an hourly train service on the northern part of the Ipswich to Lowestoft line following investment in the passing loop at Beccles, and the improvements to the bus service between Halesworth and Southwold. Every train was surveyed,from 05.56 to 23.10 and 337 passengers boarded or alighted, compared to 235 in 2012. The number of bus transfers was also encouraging but would benefit from additional advertising including marketing the possibility of using the bus from Bungay as a feeder service into the trains.

  • The Easterling
    1 THE EASTERLING JOURNAL OF THE EAST ANGLIAN WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION VOLUME NINE NUMBER SEVENTEEN MARCH 2017 Edited by Alan H. Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] NAVIGATING THE OLD BEDFORD RIVER John Revell & Mike Daines (IWA Peterborough Branch) 15 November 2016 In November 2016 I took my narrowboat, based at Fox's Marina in March, into the Old Bedford River via the tidal river Great Ouse at Salter's Lode. This is not as simple as it sounds. It has to be done “on the level” and the Old Bedford and the narrow tidal channel which leads to it are in poor condition. As a result, few boats have been willing or able to do this in recent years. 2 I attempted the same journey in November 2015 and managed about a mile before being forced to turn round through lack of water and a massive amount of cott weed which completely clogged up the propeller. This year I emailed the Environment Agency (EA) will in advance on the 7th October advising them that I proposed to navigate the Old Bedford during the period 3 November to 5 November. I further explained that I would aim to cruise all the way to Welches Dam lock and I asked for confirmation that the Welney Guillotine Gate, through which we would have to pass, would be left open in the raised (navigable) position. I never received a reply from EA. I successfully entered the Old Bedford at 7.45am on Saturday November 5.

  • Roman Roads in Britain
    ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN c < t < r c ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN BY THE LATE THOMAS CODRINGTON M, INST.C. E., F. G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.
