Cricket Brassington Style What a splendid idea it is to have a friendly game of cricket on our new recreation facility against the stunning backdrop of our green valley. Cricket Brassington-style, brings together young and old, male and female, and with the help of a few volunteers and fantastic culinary delights, a grand day can be had by all. We began in 2015 and chose two teams from those willing to have a go. The teams were named Golconda v Nickalum – after local ancient lead mines. One memorable moment was when Arthur Allcock batted with his grandson Alfie, the lad quipping to his elder “Come on grandad, run quicker!” That game ended in a tie. 2016’s game took place on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Some players were seen to be bowling the usual hand-grenade lobs and pea rollers but the quality did not dampen people’s enjoyment. Golconda won that one and Mark Allcock received man of the match. Both matches were ably umpired by our very own Moran and Clough – No Dickie Bird tantrums from these two. So if you fancy a bit of entertainment this year either as player, watcher or cake maker, please feel free to join in the fun at the recreation ground on Sunday Sept 3rd. All kit provided but it is a soft ball game, so no black eyes. Tea is between innings. This is a community event and all funds raised go to our village. More information will be on posters around the village nearer the date. We look forward to seeing all there!

  • Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated.

The industry’s greatest period came in the late sixteenth century, after technical improvements and an expansion of the trade, and lasted until the late eighteenth century. This is an examination of the working of the industry and of developments during these two centuries. From the sixteenth century onwards there is a large body of written material arising from the way in which the industry was organised. This book is largely based on such documentary evidence preserved in the Derbyshire Record Office and the Derbyshire County Library, in particular the archive accumulated over several centuries by the Gell family of Hopton, now in the DRO, and the microfilm copy of the Wolley manuscripts in the Local Studies Library at Matlock.

  • Rural Discontent in Derbyshire 1830·1850
    RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSHIRE 1830·1850 Alan Frank Jones Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Sheffield January 2004 ii Alan Frank Jones RURAL DISCONTENT IN DERBYSlllRE 1830-1850 ABSTRACT Social protest, especially in agricultural regions, has occupie~ and caused considerable debate among, historians for many years. This thesis seeks to add to this debate, by looking at various forms of protest in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. This thesis examines three aspects of criminal activity: poaching, arson and animal maiming. It contends that none of these crimes can simply be categorised as acts of protest. In conjunction with an investigation of these three crimes, acts of protest such as strikes and episodes of reluctance to conform are also discussed. It argues that the motives behind various criminal activities and anti-authority behaviour were varied and complex. Arson and animal maiming were rarely co-ordinated, mostly they were individual attacks. However, on a few occasions both arson and animal maiming were directed against certain people. In the instances of poaching, there were more proven cases of gang participation than in either arson or animal maiming, with groups of men raiding game preserves. However, the great majority of raids were individual undertakings. What is more, poaching was carried out on a greater scale throughout the county than either arson or animal maiming. This thesis seeks to put these activities into the context of economic and social change in Derbyshire between 1830 and 1850. It maintains that there was a breaking down of the old social order.

It is vital that ongoing investment in infrastructure and services is secured, to support our communities and to deliver sustainable growth and development. The Derbyshire Infrastructure Plan focuses on strategic infrastructure including highways and transport; surface water flood management; waste; broadband; green infrastructure, libraries; children and younger adults’ services; education; adult care; and public health and wellbeing. The Plan complements and provides a strategic overview for local Infrastructure Delivery Plans that are being prepared by local planning authorities. The Plan provides evidence on the condition of and investment currently taking place in existing strategic infrastructure and services in the county (page 15). The Plan sets out Strategic Priority Projects - Delivery Schedules for future investment and Potential Sources of Funding. It has a key role in informing Local Plans, Local Infrastructure Delivery Plans, and Community Infrastructure Levies. The Plan has been prepared in collaboration with a large number of public, private and voluntary sector partners. Reflecting this, Appendix B covers other major infrastructure provided by our partners, such as emergency services, water supply and waste water treatment, flood management and energy supply and distribution.

  • Target: Journal of the Geological Society 1 the Age, Palaeoclimate
    Target: Journal of the Geological Society 1 The age, palaeoclimate and palaeoecology of the Brassington Formation (Miocene) of Derbyshire, 2 UK 3 Matthew J. Pound1*, James B. Riding2 4 1. Department of Geography, Northumbria University Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8ST, UK 5 2. British Geological Survey, Environmental Science Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG, UK 6 * Corresponding author: [email protected] 7 8 Abstract 9 The Brassington Formation of Derbyshire and Staffordshire is the most extensive Miocene 10 sedimentary succession in the UK. Due to its unique position at the margin of northwest Europe, the 11 pollen from this lithostratigraphical unit provides evidence on the development of vegetation 12 affected by North Atlantic currents and hypothesised atmospheric circulation changes while the 13 climate cooled. Palynostratigraphy demonstrates that the uppermost Kenslow Member of the 14 Brassington Formation is not coeval. The oldest pollen assemblage is from the more southernly Bees 15 Nest Pit, which represents a subtropical conifer‐dominated forest of late Serravallian age (c. 12 Ma). 16 A younger assemblage was observed from the more northerly Kenslow Top Pit; this indicates that a 17 subtropical mixed forest was present during the early Tortonian (11.6–9 Ma). The shift from a 18 conifer‐dominated to a mixed forest was related to precipitation. Whilst the total precipitation did 19 not change between the two assemblages, the younger assemblage had more uniform rainfall 20 throughout the year. The diachronous nature of the Kenslow Member means that the depositional 21 model of the Brassington Formation needs revising, and this will have implications for Neogene to 22 recent uplift of the southern Pennines.
