Birmingham Moor Street As soon as we clear the platform we enter the 635 yard long Snow Hill Tunnel and climb at 1 in 45. While still in the tunnel, a side tunnel joined from our left hand side. This tunnel originated in the basement of the Bank of England building at the junction of Temple Row and St Philip’s Place, and was used by bullion trains that reversed from platform 1 at Snow Hill to the bank. Immediately after leaving the gloom of the tunnel, we enter the gloom of BIRMINGHAM SNOW HILL, opened on 5 October 1987 to replace the much grander GWR station that closed on 6 March 1972. It was unfortunate that, when the new station was built, it was decided to build a three storey car park on top of it and this has served to make the station dark and uninviting.

We are so lucky to be able to communicate and work with email and computers these days, rather than being totally cut off, as we would have been in earlier times. A previous contributor from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, John Taplin, gives us the benefit of more of his researches, while one of this year’s Archive Room visitors sends a story of the hunt for his Stanley family. Dennis Granger poses an interesting question about an important military man, Monica Bedding draws for us a small picture from the Archives of the Post Office work at the turn of the last century and a further short extract from the Griffiths’s Memoir throws light on two school masters of the late 1800s.

It is part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) sharing full membership with six other authorities; Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton. It is a densely populated area covering approximately 8,600 hectares and approximately 327,378 1 residents. This report fulfils the requirements of the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) process as set out in Part IV of the Environment Act (1995), the Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 2007 and the relevant Policy and Technical Guidance documents. The LAQM process places an obligation on all local authorities to regularly review and assess air quality in their areas, and to determine whether the national air quality objectives are likely to be achieved. Where exceedances are demonstrated or considered likely, the local authority must then declare an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) and prepare an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) setting out the measures it intends to put in place in pursuit of the objectives.
