CONCLUSION 83 LEEDS CITY REGION HS2 GROWTH STRATEGY | DRAFT FOR ENGAGEMENT 03 04 LEEDS CITY REGION HS2 GROWTH STRATEGY | DRAFT FOR ENGAGEMENT FOREWORD Our city region is growing and HS2 is vital to support the next step in transforming our economy. HS2 is much more than just a transport project. It will act as a catalyst for regeneration and growth around our main transport hubs, it will improve connectivity to our towns and cities across the Leeds City Region and the North, it will improve the skills and job opportunities for our workforce, it will create opportunities for our businesses and supply chains, and enhance the image and profile of our city region. HS2 is part of our wider ambitions for inclusive growth across the Leeds City Region. This growth is essential in order to raise living standards and tackle deprivation, boost innovation, exports and create new jobs. HS2 helps achieve our goals by strengthening business links, by opening up new markets and access to talent and by connecting people to jobs. Councillor Judith Blake CBE, Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, As a major piece of national infrastructure HS2 will result in faster journey times, improved national North - Leader, Leeds City Council Leader, Bradford Metropolitan South connectivity and much needed increased capacity on our rail network. Passengers will soon be able to District Council & Chair, West Yorkshire Combined Authority travel across the UK at speeds of up to 250mph in new high speed trains and HS2 will offer a solution to the chronic overcrowding of the existing rail stock running along the East Coast Mainline. It will also help link the Northern Powerhouse and Midlands Engine, rebalancing the rest of the UK with the South East and unlocking the full potential of the Leeds City Region. The transformation and regeneration around our station hubs at Leeds, Bradford, York, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Halifax and Harrogate will change the fabric of our cities and towns. For Leeds this will mean the redevelopment of the busiest railway station in the North, fuelling our wider ambitions for regeneration of the South Bank, creating new jobs and homes, and delivering a reimagined waterfront and city park right in the heart of Leeds. HS2 is also essential to improve wider connectivity and transform the North. This includes Northern Powerhouse Rail that will connect Liverpool, Newcastle and Hull, and crucially will mean people can get from Leeds to Manchester (via Bradford) in 30 minutes, uniting the main drivers of the Northern Powerhouse.

  • Newsletter No. 74 Autumn 2008 Editorial
    NEWSLETTER NO. 74 AUTUMN 2008 EDITORIAL Welcome to the latest Newsletter; I hope you have had an enjoyable summer in spite of the dreadful weather, Due to a clash of dates I was unable to attend this year’s AIA Conference which was held in Wiltshire and I look forward to reading the report which will appear in Industrial Archaeology News. I am also looking forward to the forthcoming 2008-2009 Lecture Programme; full details are given on the separate sheet, meeting as usual on Saturday mornings at Claremont. In the past the Section has considered whether midweek evening meetings or Saturday afternoons would attract more members to join and attend but the general view from those who have expressed it, is that Saturday mornings are preferred. However please note that the 2009 AGM will be starting earlier at 10.30am. This is because we will have another local walk in the afternoon starting at 2pm and starting the AGM half an hour earlier gives a little more time for members’ contributions and lunch. I am sure that you will agree with me that our Lecture Secretary, Jane Ellis, has yet again organised an interesting and varied programme and I hope many of you will be able to attend at least a few lectures during the season. Robert Vickers will also lead a walk around Huddersfield on Sunday 10 May 2009, meeting at the Railway Station at 11am with a pub lunch. Let’s hope there is better weather for this than his walk around Bradford, which is reported on later in the Newsletter.

  • The Industrial Archaeology of West Yorkshire
    The Industrial Archaeology of West Yorkshire Introduction: The impact of the Industrial Revolution came comparatively late to the West Yorkshire region. The seminal breakthroughs in technology that were made in a variety of industries (e.g. coal mining, textile, pottery, brick, and steam engine manufacture) during the 17th and 18th centuries, and the major production centres that initially grew up on the back of these innovations, were largely located elsewhere in the country. What distinguishes Yorkshire is the rate and density at which industry developed in the region from the end of the 18th century. This has been attributed to a wide variety of factors, including good natural resources and the character of the inhabitants! The portion of the West Riding north and west of Wakefield had become one of most heavily industrialised areas in the Britain by the end of the 19th century. It was also one of the most varied - there were some regional specialities, but at one time or another Yorkshire manufacturers supplied everything from artificial manure to motorcars. A list of local products for the 1890s would run into hundreds of items. Textile Manufacturing: The most prominent industry in the region has always been textile manufacture. There was a long tradition in the upland areas of the county of cloth production as a home-based industry, which supplemented farming. The scale of domestic production could hardly be considered negligible - the industry in Calderdale was after all so large that in 1779 it produced the Piece Hall in Halifax as an exchange centre and market. However, the beginnings of the factory system, and the birth of modern textile mills, dates to the introduction of mass-production techniques for carding and spinning cotton.

    TECHNICAL TRANSACTIONS 11/2019 ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING DOI: 10.4467/2353737XCT.19.118.11334 SUBMISSION OF THE FINAL VERSION: 4/11/2019 Bogusław Wowrzeczka orcid.org/0000-0003-3115-1218 [email protected] Marzanna Jagiełło orcid.org/0000-0001-9400-8967 [email protected] Faculty of Architecture of Wrocław University of Technology Churches from former factories – conversions and controversies Kościół w fabryce – konwersje i kontrowersje Abstract This paper focuses on architectural transformations of some post-industrial objects into sacral functions. The discussed works mainly relate to churches, chapels and parish houses of various Christian denominations, mainly Protestant. Such transformations provoke questions about the limits of acceptance for adaptation works in the context of objects associated with a religious cult. The doubts that arise are connected primarily with the theological-liturgical dimension, that means the interpretation of the sacrum space. As far as conservation work is concerned, the analysed examples confirm the thesis of high architectural potential inherent in post-industrial objects. They also show a wide spectrum of possible interferences in a given structure during the conversion process. Keywords: sacrum, profanum, conversion, post-industrial architecture Streszczenie W artykule skupiono się na problematyce architektonicznych przekształceń wybranych przypadków obiektów poprzemysłowych na funkcje sakralne.

Yes No If relevant, Access to Information Procedure Rule number: 10.4 (3) Appendix number: 1 Summary of main issues 1. At its meeting of the 14 th February, Executive Board gave approval for the disposal of the Council owned Engine House as part of an exercise to secure new development in the short term at the primarily HCA owned Tower Works site. It is anticipated that this will help to kick start regeneration in Holbeck Urban Village, which has stalled in recent years due to economic conditions. 2. The report outlined that the Council and the HCA also own other assets in Holbeck Urban Village and that there were on-going discussions between the Council and the HCA about how these assets could be best used to support regeneration in the area. It was indicated that a future paper would be presented with recommendations about these assets. These discussions have focussed on the Council owned Bath Road site, the HCA owned Leodis Court and the lease that the HCA have at the Round Foundry Media Centre (see plan 1).
