  • Modernising Trust Ports [Second Edition] I
    Modernising Trust Ports [second edition] i. Introduction This is the second edition of Modernising Trust Ports (MTP). The first was published in 2000 by the then Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, and followed a review of the trust ports sector that focused principally on corporate governance and accountability. That review highlighted a need for a general improvement in the openness and accountability with which trust ports conduct their business, and prompted the Department to stipulate governance guidelines which it expected all trust port boards to use as the benchmark of best practice — Modernising Trust Ports. A similar exercise was undertaken with respect to municipal ports. The general improvement sought by the Government has been widely in evidence in the years since then, and the sector should be congratulated for the considerable strides it has taken in this direction. In 2006 the successor Department for Transport embarked upon a thorough review of ports policy, in light of devolution in the UK planning and political systems, and the evolution of global trading patterns. The review looked among other things at the future of the mixed ports sector, including the outlook for trust ports in the coming decades. This was set against the backdrop of the decision by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) in 2001 to classify the largest trust ports as public corporations, which had the effect of placing those ports’ borrowing on the Department’s accounts, and the relevant ports' subsequent applications, now on hold, to remove themselves from perceived public sector controls through the pursuit of appropriate Harbour Revision Orders (HROs).

  • Ammonite Fields Forever: from the Jurassic Coast to Collecting on the Beaches of North Yorkshire, England
    Ammonite Fields Forever: From the Jurassic Coast to collecting on the beaches of North Yorkshire, England by Rhonda Gates Once upon a time, just at the brink of an unfathomable and devastating year of death, anxiety, isolation and trauma caused by Covid19, four friends set aside their LRB hats for new hats: they became “Yorkies” and set out to collect fossils on the UK’s North Yorkshire Jurassic coastline generally and inclusively referred to as Whitby. This is the retelling of that adventure, “Ammonite Fields Forever: From the Jurassic Coast to collecting on the beaches of North Yorkshire, England” with Marie Angkuw, Deborah Lovely, Andrew Young and me, Rhonda Gates. ___ The dreaming of this trip began on the flight back from Lyme Regis in early March of 2019. The actual planning for this adventure began a few weeks later in April, once the 2020 tide tables were published. We then spent the next 10 months locking in airfare, our airbnb, researching and purchasing gear, and reading every book and online site we could find. Friends in Lyme Regis had mentioned that it would be very strenuous, with at least one site requiring a rope to get down to and back up from the beach. However, our friends had seen us in action collecting at Lyme Regis and Charmouth, so they assured us we could handle it if we prepared for it. So the next 10 months were also spent “in Whitby fossil-hunting training mode” which required building up upper body strength and embracing every set of stairs and hill in our path.

  • The Way of the Sea
    1 The Way of the Sea Jarrow to Warkworth Introduction The Way of the Sea has been set up as one of the new Northern Saints Trails to provide a link between Warkworth on St Oswald's Way and another new Northern Saints Trail, The Way of Learning. Linking these three routes together provides a continuous 124 mile pilgrimage route between Lindisfarne and Durham. This route can of course be walked in either direction. When we think of the Northern Saints like Aidan and Cuthbert, we rightly think of them as great walkers and it’s likely that they will sometimes have walked along this coast, but actually it’s probably more likely that they will have taken the actual way of the sea! Aidan was closely linked with monastic settlements in South Shields and Hartlepool, so he probably sailed from Lindisfarne to those places which would have been quicker and, before the Vikings started their raids, safer too. The Way of the Sea itself is 62 kilometres or 38.5 miles in length. You may occasionally find Northern Saints Trails signs, but this route is the same as the England Coast Path all the way from North Shields to Warkworth so follow the ECP signs which are frequent. Sometimes you may see an acorn symbol as the ECP is one of the National Trails. You will also find Northumberland Coast Path signs between Cresswell and Warkworth. The coastal path itself generally stays on the higher ground, but in some places such as Druridge or Whitley bays you may prefer to walk on the sand.

  • Imagining the Fishing: Artists and Fishermen in Late Nineteenth Century Cornwall1
    Rural History (2001) 12, 2, 159-178. © 2001 Cambridge University Press 159 Printed in the United Kingdom Imagining the Fishing: Artists and Fishermen in Late Nineteenth Century Cornwall1 BERNARD DEACON Department of Lifelong Learning, University of Exeter, Exeter, UK. Abstract The focus of postmodernist historians on language and representation clashes with the more traditional approach of the social historian to material structures and processes. This article adopts the suggestion of Wahrman that a 'space of possibilities' exists where these apparently competing perspectives might be connected. The concept of a 'space of possibilities' is pursued through a case study of a marginal group, the fishing communities of west Cornwall in the late nineteenth century. The article explores points of contact and contrast between the artistic and the fishing communities, between the painterly gaze and the subjects of that gaze. It is proposed that, while the artistic colonies and their representations might be explained as a result of discourses reproduced in the centre, their specific choice of location in Cornwall can also be related to the local economic and social history that granted them a space of possibilities. Researchers in the social and human sciences have increasingly looked towards the 'margins' over the past two decades. The 'othering' of people and places in the margins and the deconstruction of that 'othering' has been explored with a growing fascination.2 This interest in the 'margins' has been vigorously fanned by the winds of
