However; no reference is made to Parish Plans and Design Statements. These documents commonly result from widespread and effective community involvement undertaken by Parish Councils, often with assistance from the LPA, and are capable of being used to inform Local Plans and planning applications. These should be noted along whenever reference is made to Neighbourhood Planning or Neighbourhood Planning Areas. With regard to paragraph 1.40 - Settlement Boundaries the Parish Council maintains the view expressed in its first response to consultation, when it urged retention of settlement boundaries as ‘indicative boundaries’ only. Not being definitive these would not in any way inhibit the responsiveness or flexibility of the LPA, but would greatly serve the interests of community engagement through illustrating the parameters of community identity – a significant factor when considering proposals that may significantly re-shape or re-define such a community.

  • Foster History
    Foster History A compilation of information extracted from published research about Foster ancestors. Various researchers published works on Foster ancestors, some credible some not. This paper endeavors to iterate the significant, along with some interesting portions from a number of those works in a more condensed version for those not inclined to study this subject in depth. My objective is to impart knowledge about people who lived in the past named Foster, and may be ancestors, for entertainment or as a primer to subsequent generations if they endeavor to take up the quest. Foster families unlikely to be connected to the Irving family are mentioned only in passing or omitted. I include some material to explain terms and historical facts for context that other authors assumed the reader had prior knowledge. Some researchers make assumptions they shouldn't; my approach is to point out possible disconnects or questionable assumptions as indicators to where additional research is necessary. To help the flow of the story some material is set aside into Appendices. Numerous hyper-links to source information found on the Internet are included. The links were valid when this report was authored, but websites, addresses and pages change, so some links my no longer be valid. I refer the reader to the original texts authored by professional historians and researchers for information in their own words (see bibliography). I recommend you read this paper on a computer connected to the Internet to avail use of embedded links to referenced material. It might also help if you have a map of England and Scotland available if you are not familiar with the geography of the United Kingdom.

  • Cumbria Eden Flood History 2013
    Cumbria Eden flood history 2013 Sources Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and, further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The main source for this study has been from newspaper accounts. Newspaper Sources Newspaper descriptions include much that is of human interest but only limited information which can be used to define the magnitude of the flood. It is only the latter information which has been extracted for the most part, indicating levels or depths on roads and buildings which may still be identifiable. Such details provide a means of assessing the comparative magnitude of floods. The two principal urban areas within the Eden catchment which are vulnerable to flooding are Appleby and Carlisle. Papers which cover part of Cumbria include: Cumberland Packet (Whitehaven) 1774 to 1915, Carlisle Journal, 1801 to 1960s, Carlisle Patriot (later Cumberland News) 1815 to present Penrith Observer, 1860 onward West Cumberland Times(Workington) 1874 onward Westmoreland Gazette (Kendal) 1818 onward The online British Newspaper Archive has a limited number of newspapers and years of record available for Cumbria. The following were available in May 2015. Cumberland and Westmorland Advertiser, and Penrith Literary Chronicle – 1855 – 1871 Cumberland Pacquet, and Ware’s Whitehaven Advertiser – 1777– 1808, 1812 – 1871 Westmorland Gazette 1818- 1867, 1871 Kendal Mercury 1835 - 1870 Carlisle Journal 1801-1805, 1810-1811, 1814-1815, 1818-1820, 1833 - 1867 Carlisle Patriot 1816-1871 Note for later papers Lancaster Gazette 1870-1893 Lancashire Evening Post (based in Preston) 1886 – 1909, 1917 – 1921, 1924, 1929, 1930 - 1947 Descriptions are generally imprecise and without details of levels reached or the extent of the area flooded.

  • THE RAILWAY THROUGH NICHOLFOREST by Joan Robson (2008)
    THE RAILWAY THROUGH NICHOLFOREST By Joan Robson (2008) In the Railway Building era of the mid 19th Century it was proposed to construct a railway through the Central Borders. In 1850 a plan was drawn up to take the route from Carlisle through Longtown, Kirkandrews, Canonbie, Langholm, Ewes Vale and onwards to Hawick. The Engineers Blyth and Jopp pointed out the fact that this proposed route would cross rivers eleven times near Hawick. Negotiations continued in the next few years until 1858 when another plan was proposed to take the route through Liddesdale. This route was to be known as the Border Union Railway. Later it was renamed the Waverley Route. Investigation began into land ownership and the following were recorded:- Kershopefoot, owner William Henry Charlton of Hesleyside near Bellingham and occupied by Walter Maxwell and Margaret Armstrong. The route also crossed land owned by Sir James Graham of Netherby and occupied by Reginald Graham, John Underwood, John Millican, Margaret Palmer, John Forster and Mary Broatch. A nearby limekiln was owned by Sir James Graham and let to John Brown. Jane Storey owned land let to Mary Broatch. George Tinniswood owned land let to John Jeffrey, Andrew Little and William Little. Penton House, offices and pleasure ground was owned by George Tinniswood. Further land was owned by George, Ellen, Francis and John Armstrong. Later in the same year, 1858 there was great indignation that the proposal of the Liddesdale route was out of favour as the Parliamentary decision via Langholm, Moss Paul etc. A petition by the supporters of the Liddesdale route was sent to the House of Lords.
