Professional and Academic Journal Articles About the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Professional and Academic Journal articles about the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway In 2013 a small team of LYRS members started to read through all the editions of The Engineer held electronically by ‘Grace’s Guide’. When we started we had access to issues of The Engineer from 1856 to 1930 – that’s nearly 4000 issues. We noted the main points of each reference to the LYR, its predecessor, the companies it took over, and its people. This is the result of our work: nearly 2,500 references from The Engineer and The Electrical Review (there are fewer editions of The Electrical Review on line, and they are not all in the same place). Searching This is a fully searchable pdf file. In most pdf readers you should press Ctrl F. This should bring a small search window onto your screen. Type your search term into this search window Type your search term into the window, press Enter and you will be taken to the first mention of your search term in the text. Press Enter again to find the next one, and so on. For each entry there are eleven columns: Column heading Brief description. Brief description of article This is a short paragraph that outlines what is in the full article. Author of article Most articles are anonymous. Named authors are cited here. Title of article This is the main title or the article. But where there is a long article of different sections this might be the section heading. Key words, names, or phrases A few words that sum up what the article is about. Key in article words include names of people, places, organisations, and railway companies. Type of article Articles are categorised as ‘Business, News, Technical, Personal, or Other’. Original print source The name of the original All the articles are presented journal. in order of: Volume The journal’s volume Original print source number. For The Engineer Volume number there are two 26-week Page number volumes in each calendar year. Page Number The page number of the reference to the LYR. Date The date of publication Electronic source A hyperlink to the issue in which the reference to the LYR appears. (Links to Electrical Review take you to the volume.) What next? We will continue developing this database of references to the LYR. Grace’s Guide now has more issues of The Engineer (though as they are from after 1930, the hit rate for LYR topics is much lower) as well as editions of Engineering. We are also investigating access to other journals. So these pages will continue to be updated. Acknowledgements Our ‘engineering journals reading project’ would not have been possible if the people at Grace’s Guide had not made The Engineer available. In particular we thank Maryann Soper who responded to our various questions and comments. The LYRS volunteers who painstakingly looked (with a bit of help from pdf search) for LYR references (without getting side-tracked by all the other interesting material) were: Mel Draper; Michael Hughes; Derek King; Robin Pennie; Peter Tennant; Dave Westall; and Tom Wray. And thanks to Martin Nield and Roger Mellor for making sure the team’s work is now available to anyone interested in the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

Clarke Above: A strengthened Northern Rail service makes its way across Whalley Viaduct Below: An unidentified class 150/2 heads towards Manchester Victoria with a lunch-time service from Clitheroe B. Haworth 2 From the Chair As we are aware, the new Northern franchise will commence in early 2016, and the consultation process has begun.The Government has decided to keep the two separate franchises with Trans Pennine Express offering the express services in the region. They are also looking to transfer into the Northern franchise some services operated by another franchise and these include the Oxenhlme – Windermere service. Consultations such as these can be seen as either a challenge or a threat and in our response RVR will use this opportunity to seek for enhancement of services, rolling stock, connectivity and station facilities. The document can be found at: www.gov.uk/government/consultation/future-of-northern-transpennine-express-rail-franchise We have seen changes in staff on the line with John Ryan replacing Stephen Curry as our Station Manager,and we hope to meet him shortly at one of our RVR meetings. I had the pleasure of travelling on the 25th Anniversary Train from Leeds to Carlisle on Friday 11th April to celebrate the saving of the Settle to Carlisle Line. It was a superbly organized event with a packed train enjoying the scenery. Full details later in the magazine.

Francis Orpen Morris Peter M. Press 23 THE PAVEY GROUP EXECUTIVE Peter M. Press Chairman Pat Stapleton Vice Chair Mike Whatmore Treasurer Penny Rose Secretary Neil Mattingly Archivist Committee: Pam Salisbury Chris Leverington £1.50 Keith Waterson 1 Editorial Neil Mattingly’s remarkable research efforts are little short of astonishing! Neil has shown a terrier’s instinct for retrieving data from all manner of sources. These extend beyond both the Dorset and Devon Record Offices, where he is well known as a regular customer now, but in a diversity of other talents including interviewing local folk on specific subjects, from libraries, the web, and notably to auctions where he is known to bid for obscure volumes where information might be found. It is his energies and the distances covered in these quests that mark the nature of his enthusiasms. In this issue he tells of the Lords of the Manor – this is due to be developed into a fuller history this summer. Quite remarkable! I have been asking questions about Percy Smith for many years. He was a positive presence in Charmouth from the day of his return from the trenches in 1919 but his image was not always viewed positively. He died in 1964; I wish I had known him. The other article of mine dates to the middle of the 19th century.

It provides further details to policies in the Core Strategy, which is the primary source of guidance on planning issues. The SPD is not part of the Statutory Development Plan. However, it forms part of the Local Development Framework and as such will be an important consideration in determining planning applications. The document is intended to support pre-application discussions about development proposals for the regeneration of the former Horwich Loco Works, although it is designed for use throughout the development control process. Applicants are advised to contact the Council to discuss their proposals as early as possible. This SPD should also be read in conjunction with additional adopted guidance depending upon the nature and location of the application proposals. 2 Page 3 of 47 Horwich Loco Works: Draft Supplementary Planning Document Draft 2 December 2010 1.

Conclusions 39 Appendix 1 41 2 Smart Growth UK __________________________________________________________________________ Smart Growth UK is an informal coalition of organisations and individuals who want to promote the Smart Growth approach to planning, transportation and communities. Smart Growth is an international movement dedicated to more sustainable approaches to these issues. In the UK it is based around a set of principles agreed by the organisations that support the Smart Growth UK coalition in 2013:- Urban areas work best when they are compact, with densities appropriate to local circumstances but generally significantly higher than low-density suburbia and avoiding high-rise. In addition to higher density, layouts are needed that prioritize walking, cycling and public transport so that they become the norm. We need to reduce our dependence on private motor vehicles by improving public transport, rail-based where possible, and concentrating development in urban areas. We should protect the countryside, farmland, natural beauty, open space, soil and biodiversity, avoiding urban sprawl and out-of-town development. We should protect and promote local distinctiveness and character and our heritage, respecting and making best use of historic buildings, street forms and settlement patterns.

SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION.

The fourth order partial differential equation which is the governing equation was first reduced to second order differential equation by assume a solution in form of series solution and maple software was finally employed to obtain numerical solution in order to determine the behaviour of the system of discussion. The effect of mass of the beam on both the moving force and the moving mass were examined. It was noted that increase in mass of the beam is an increase in the transverse displacement for both the moving force and the moving mass with respect to both the tensile and the compressive forces.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.
