  • Uncertain Prospects Public Parks in the New Age of Austerity a Short Report by the Gardens Trust
    Uncertain Prospects Public parks in the new age of austerity A short report by The Gardens Trust Uncertain Prospects Public parks in the new age of austerity A short report by The Gardens Trust written by Katy Layton-Jones 2016 Preface This report has been written in response to increasing alarm about the effect of budget cuts on councils’ capacity to maintain their public parks. That alarm has been most recently embodied in a House of Commons Select Committee inquiry into the future of public parks, held in the autumn of 2016. The Gardens Trust was formed in 2015 from the merger of the Garden History Society and the Association of Gardens Trusts. It has inherited the GHS role as a national amenity society and a statutory consultee on planning applications affecting parks and gardens on the national Register. It is also the umbrella group for the network of 36 county gardens trusts in England and is affiliated to the Welsh Historic Gardens Trust. In 2016 the Gardens Trust published The Planning System in England and the Protection of Historic Parks and Gardens: Guidance for Local Planning Authorities. The report was written by Dr Katy Layton-Jones, an independent historical consultant. In 2005 she was engaged as a Research Associate on the Liverpool Parks and Open Spaces project, a collaboration between Liverpool City Council, the University of Liverpool, and English Heritage. She has since been commissioned to research parks and parks policy for a number of organisations including Historic England and local authorities. She has researched and published widely on the subject of public parks.

  • Chapter 6: James and Wainwright Bellhouse Ltd., Cotton Spinners
    CHAPTER 6 JAMES AND WAINWRIGHT BELLHOUSE LTD. COTTON SPINNERS The business venture started by David Bellhouse (1764 – 1840) that seems least related to the rest is cotton spinning. This business was passed to his sons, James (1796 – 1874) and Wainwright Bellhouse (1800 – 1885), about a decade before the father’s death. By 1833, David Bellhouse had ceased to list himself as a cotton spinner in the Manchester directories. Wain- wright Bellhouse first appeared in the Manchester directories in 1832 with his occupation given as cotton spinner; James Bellhouse followed in 1836. The firm was know as Messrs. Bellhouse by 18311 and as James and Wainwright (J. & W.) Bellhouse by 1833.2 Advertisement for the Medlock New Mill3 129 The traditional date for the start of J. & W. Bellhouse is 1792.4 However, this is the year in which David Bellhouse senior took up residence in Faulkner Street and began to work inde- pendently as a joiner and builder, not the year the spinning business started. David Bellhouse built the original mill, associated with the firm known as the Medlock New Mill, in 1806 and so the beginning of the firm should be dated from that year. The mill was just outside the boundary of the Township of Manchester as defined in 1800.5 It was bounded by the Medlock River and by Pritchard, York and Charles Streets in Chorlton on Medlock or Chorlton Row. The mill was situated directly across the Medlock River from all the other Bellhouse enterprises, which were in Hunt or Whitworth Street. David Bellhouse senior built a second mill at this location in 1836.6 Sometime before 1851 a third mill was added.

  • UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup Newport – 22 - 25 April 2021
    Round # 1 – UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup Newport – 22 - 25 April 2021 GENERAL INFORMATION Newport is a vibrant, multi-cultural city steeped in a rich industrial heritage, where traditional industries sit alongside new electronics and financial service sectors. At the gateway of Wales, surrounded by stunning scenery and a growing international profile Newport may surprise you. Newport’s history dates back to a Celtic settlement 2000 years ago and the city's location at the mouth of the River Usk has attracted visitors for centuries. Caerleon, just a few miles from Newport, was also the site of a fortress of the 2nd (Augustan) Roman legion from the first century AD. The Normans settled in Newport and built a castle beside the river Usk in the 14th century, the remains of which you can see today. The discovery of the remains of a sea-going vessel in 2002 gives evidence of Newport as a centre of industry and trade in the medieval period. During the 19th century industrial revolution Newport expanded rapidly from a small seaport town to one of the most important places in the country for coal export and steel production and the town became known for its accessible modern docks. Newport is also home to the Newport Transporter Bridge, one of around 10 that remain is use throughout the world and one of only two operational transporter bridges in the UK. Global leaders in technology, manufacturing, distribution, financial services and public sector organisations are attracted to the city’s superb location. Over 2.69 million people visit the city annually and events are a key part of Newport having successfully delivered large global events including the Ryder Cup in 2010 and NATO summit in 2014.

The Award is open to any place - be it a city, town, borough, county or district - which: has an established cross-sector food partnership in place; is a member of the Sustainable Food Cities Network; and is implementing an action plan on healthy and sustainable food. There are three tiers to the award - bronze, silver and gold - each requiring an increasing level of achievement in terms of action and outcomes. Details on how to apply for the bronze and silver awards are presented below. The gold award will be launched in 2017. Applications will be reviewed on an annual basis by a national panel of experts.

As well as meeting these minimum requirements, applicants will have to provide evidence of action and outcomes across six key food issues: 1. Promoting healthy and sustainable food to the public. 2. Tackling food poverty, diet-related ill-health and access to affordable healthy food.
