WARWICKSHIRE, AND HEREFORD AND WORCESTER COMMISSION'S FINAL REPORT AND PROPOSALS INTRODUCTION 1. On 26 July 1985 we wrote to Staffordshire County Council announcing our intention to undertake a review of the County under Section 48(1) of the Local Government Act 1972. Copies of our letter were sent to all the principal local authorities and parishes in Staffordshire, and in the adjoining counties of Cheshire, Derbyshire, West Midlands, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Hereford and Worcester and Leicestershire; to the National and County Associations of Local Councils; to the Members of Parliament with constituency interests and to the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition copies were sent to those government departments with an interest; regional health authorities; public utilities in the area; the English Tourist Board; the editors of the Municipal Journal and Local Government Chronicle; and to local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The County Councils were requested to co-operate as necessary with each other, and with the District Councils concerned, to assist us in publicising the start of the review, by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers so as to give a wide coverage in the areas concerned.

  • A Historical Perspective of the Development of British Computer Manufacturers with Particular Reference to Staffordshire
    A historical perspective of the development of British computer manufacturers with particular reference to Staffordshire John Wilcock School of Computing, Staffordshire University Abstract Beginning in the early years of the 20th Century, the report summarises the activities within the English Electric and ICT groups of computer manufacturers, and their constituent groups and successor companies, culminating with the formation of ICL and its successors STC-ICL and Fujitsu-ICL. Particular reference is made to developments within the county of Staffordshire, and to the influence which these companies have had on the teaching of computing at Staffordshire University and its predecessors. 1. After the second world war In Britain several computer research teams were formed in the late 1940s, which concentrated on computer storage techniques. At the University of Manchester, Williams and Kilburn developed the “Williams Tube Store”, which stored binary numbers as electrostatic charges on the inside face of a cathode ray tube. The Manchester University Mark I, Mark II (Mercury 1954) and Atlas (1960) computers were all built and marketed by Ferranti at West Gorton. At Birkbeck College, University of London, an early form of magnetic storage, the “Birkbeck Drum” was constructed. The pedigree of the computers constructed in Staffordshire begins with the story of the EDSAC first generation machine. At the University of Cambridge binary pulses were stored by ultrasound in 2m long columns of mercury, known as tanks, each tank storing 16 words of 35 bits, taking typically 32ms to circulate. Programmers needed to know not only where their data were stored, but when they were available at the top of the delay lines.

Since its inception the Charity has persistently and influentially worked to lift standards, develop training qualifications and build networks across the UK’s conservation, repair and maintenance (CRM) sector, estimated at over 40% of all construction industry activities. This has involved working partnerships with national agencies, professional and standard setting bodies, educational establishments and training interests. This study is directed towards a general audience and those wishing to increase their knowledge of The Potteries area, and its specific form and type of buildings in addition to assisting in providing a framework for carrying out similar regional studies.

In the first year of our partnership and the development of Appetite’s work in Kidsgrove as part of the Arts Council England Creative People and Places programme, we are working with artists around three areas of work that connect the people, town centre, and its connectivity to the canal of Kidsgrove. The two other themes for our work are Light and Young People and Families. This brief is for artist(s) to work on theme of Environment. Appetite works with other partners in the Kidsgrove area: a key partner and consortium member is GoKidsgrove (a town centre partnership for the town) amongst others including Newcastle Borough Council and We Are Aspire Group. For this project, we would like to focus on the environment as the theme and areas we’re interested in are: - The climate emergency and single use plastics in and around the canalside; - The welcome the environment provides to those that connect to the train station, canal, town side and streets of the residential areas of Kidsgrove; - The future regeneration of Kidsgrove and the improvements to the canal and town centre areas; - Use and re-use of the spaces and places adjoining and connecting the canalside; - Biodiversity and the connection of green (land) and blue (water) spaces for wildlife and communities. The project could be a research residency or a pilot project. Through all of our projects we want to build connections with the people and place of Kidsgrove through building relationships with a wide variety of residents, business owners, volunteers and partners in the area to involve them in future decision-making for arts and cultural projects for the area supported by Appetite.
