Improvement Plan Introduction The Haynes Park Management Plan has been prepared by the London Borough of Havering Public Realm (Parks and Open Spaces) department and represents a five year plan for the Park. The plan was completed in 2016 and will be revised annually until a full update in 2021. It was recognised that the park given its importance locally required improvements to facilities and standards. As part of this process the plan was produced to reflect these improvements and how the park is managed. The format of this plan follows the Green Flag Award criteria as this is recognised as the nationally accepted standard of excellence for parks and open spaces. The criteria also reflect a comprehensive and logical breakdown on the complements of how a park is managed. The plan also includes an action plan which is achievable within the remit of current budgets. The plan has been produced to give the reader a ‘virtual’ tour of the park and a practical management guide. The key information is in the main body of the plan with more detailed information including policies and examples in the appendix. It is intended for a broad audience interested in the development of the park namely: • Public Ream staff - Parks and Open Spaces Officers, Grounds Maintenance • Other services and departments within the London Borough of Havering • Elected members, ward councillors and portfolio holders • The community and its representative organisations Birdsfoot Trefoil in Haynes Park Conservation Area 1 1. Site Overview 1.1 Havering The London Borough of Havering is London’s third largest borough. The north and east boundaries border the rolling Essex countryside and the south covers three miles of River Thames frontage. To the west Havering is bordered by the boroughs of Redbridge and Barking and Dagenham. The name ‘Havering’ originates from the Royal Liberty of Havering, to which Edward IV granted a charter in 1465. The area’s history stretches back to Roman times with early settlements at Rainham and Collier Row. The London Borough of Havering was created in 1965 by the merger of Romford and Hornchurch Urban District Councils. The name of Havering was finally agreed as a combination of the town names was not allowed. The idea of blending the two names was never a serious consideration.Armorial bearings were granted at the time of the formation. The motto ‘liberty’ represents the present free and democratic way of life but is inspired by the fact that Havering was mostly a part of the royal liberty of Havering – Atte – Bower from 1465 – 1892. London Borough of Havering Location Plan Many of Havering’s open spaces and public parks have a long and rich history. Some are former private estates with historical and heritage importance including Bedford’s Park, Clockhouse Gardens, Parklands Park and Langton’s Gardens. Well known landscape architects such as Humphrey Repton designed some open spaces within Havering e.g. Langton’s Gardens and many parks were developed in the twentieth century e.g. Upminster, Rise and Lawns Parks. 2 There is a large amount of countryside, especially in the north of the borough, with a good Public Rights of Way network and 4 country parks. There are also a wide variety of urban spaces from ornamental gardens to large municipal parks. 1.2 The Strategic Framework Information how this Management Plan sits within the national, regional and local context for parks and open spaces can be found in Appendix 1. 1.3 Site Description Haynes Park is a Medium Park of 11 hectares that serves the local community and is situated within a residential area of Hornchurch. There are three access points to the site. There is a vehicle entrance and car park leading from Slewins Lane, a pedestrian entrance leading from Haynes Road and another vehicle entrance and car park leading from Northumberland Avenue. A public right of way running west to east and leading from Slewins Lane to Haynes Road splits the park in half. The northern half of the park contains a play area, tennis courts and a multiuse games area for informal recreation. For more formal sports it also contains two football pitches used by Heath Park Junior Football Club. The site has a mixture of landscape features with amenity grassland, large conservation area and small woodland. The western boundary of this part of the park has the River Ravensbourne running alongside it. This half of the Park is also fenced and is closed from dusk until dawn. The southern half of the Park is unfenced and contains amenity grassland a small conservation area and a small area of trees. This side is also home to Haynes Park Bowls club that sits in a within a tall hedge bounded area. 1.4 History The first mention of the word Haynes in the area is in 1492 in a document in New College, Oxford, however little is known of the site after that apart from its use as farmland. Extract from Chapman and Andre 1777map. This spelling was probably very rare and more likely a mis-transcription of the local pronunciation by the mapmaker than the more widely written Hains or Haines Havering Libraries-Local Studies 3 In June 1935 attempts were made by Hornchurch UDC to buy the farmland in the area to create a Recreation Ground. Terms could not be agreed and land was compulsorily purchased in 1936. Over the next couple of year’s improvements were made such as boundary fencing, entrance gates, public shelter and a bridge over the Ravensbourne from Northumberland Road. In 1940 around nine acres of the Park was turned over to food production with wheat Haynes Park golf course and playground 1949 and barley sown. With an additional Havering Libraries-Local Studies three acres ploughed in 1941. After the war in 1946 additional improvements were carried out including the creation of a 20ft square paddling pool and sandpit surrounds, tennis courts and miniature golf course. Between 1948 and 1950 the construction of the Bowling Green and pavilion took place which was the first in Hornchurch with Haynes Park bowls club, who is the current club on site, starting in 1956. In 1963 a further 2.96 acres were added to the park, formerly part of Haynes Park Farm and containing fine elm and willow trees and giving the Park its final size and shape. Since then Haynes Park has seen many changes such as the removal of the miniature golf course in the early 1990’s and the moving of the play area to its present location so as to be more visible from and nearer to the main car park. To reflect modern usage one tennis court was changed into a multi-use games area in 2009. Another significant change happened in 2012 when the decision was made to improve biodiversity within parks and the old miniature golf course area was turned into a conservation area. A more detailed history can be found in Appendix 2. 4 Bowling Green and pavilion at Haynes Park circa late 1950’s Havering Libraries-Local Studies 5 1.5 Location and Transport Links Location Map Aerial Image of the park (2013) 6 Site Map 7 1.5.1 Address Haynes Park Slewins Lane Hornchurch Essex RM11 2BU 1.5.2 Bus The 165 route southbound from The Brewery, Romford alighting Brooklands Gardens or northbound from Abbey Wood Lane, Rainham alighting at Kinfauns Avenue The 370 route southbound from Mercury Gardens, Romford alighting at Brooklands Gardens or northbound from Lakeside Bus station alighting at Kinfauns Avenue.

This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.

Whenever my memory has failed me I have drawn on the recollections of others or sought information from extant records. Seven decades have passed since the General Election of 1945 and there are few people now living with personal recollections of candidates who fought so long ago. I have drawn heavily upon recollections of conversations with older Liberal personalities in the West Midland Region who I knew in my early days with the party. I was conscious when I began work, twenty years ago, that much of this information would be lost forever were it not committed promptly to print. The Liberal challenge was weak in the West Midland Region over the period 1945 to 1959 in common with most regions of Britain. The number of constituencies fought fluctuated wildly; 1945, 21; 1950, 31; 1951, 3; 1955 4. The number of parliamentary constituencies in the region averaged just short of 60, a very large proportion urban in character.

Research on crisis interventions is controversial, and further studies in this field are important to establish appropriate interventions for emergency workers. Debriefing has become an area for debate due to evidence of its benefits showing beneficial and negative outcomes, or no outcome at all. This study aims to qualitatively investigate the experience of the role of Critical Incident Debriefer in a Fire and Rescue Service in the North West of England. METHODS OF RESEARCH: A phenomenological approach was used to collect data via Collaborative Inquiry (CI) group meetings with the debriefers.

  • Cause Papers Project Standardization
    1 Cause Papers in the Diocesan Courts of the Archbishopric of York, 1300–1858 Editing and Standardisation in the Cause Papers Database The Cause Papers project provided an on-line searchable catalogue of more than 13,000 cause papers relating to cases heard between 1300 and 1858 in the Church Courts of the diocese of York, the original records for which are held at the Borthwick Institute for Archives at the University of York. The project aimed to pioneer a new standard of excellence in data accuracy and standardization. Cataloguing such a large and varied number of records posed numerous challenges in these areas, including the problem of how to incorporate spelling and language variations of surname and place names. The following document provides information on the methods used by the project team in compiling, editing and standardizing the data. It is split into the following sections:- 1) Information provided by the database 2) List of standard reference works used by the project team 3) List of types and sub-types of cases commonly used in the database 4) Standardization of Forenames 5) Standardization of Surnames – Part A 6) Standardization of Surnames – Part B 7) Problematic Place-names – Identification and Standardization Please note that this text is not intended as a guide to on-line catalogue. Users requiring assistance with searching the catalogue should consult the on-screen help text. 2 Editing and standardisation for the Cause Paper Database 1) Information provided by the database Owing to the volume and complexity of manuscript material involved, it was not possible to provide full transcriptions of the cause papers.

In the past 80 years Marriotts have established a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship on the largest and small­ est scales. Whether it is a £7,000,000 housing contract near Bletchley, a new head­ quarters for Buckinghamshire County Council at Aylesbury (right) or restor­ ation and alterations to Easton Maudit Church (left) Marriotts have the experi­ ence, the expertise and the men to carry out work of the most exacting standards and to a strict schedule. In the last century Marriotts made a name for itself by the skill of its crafts­ men employed on restoring buildings of great historical importance. A re­ markable tribute to the firm's founder, the late Mr. Robert Marriott was paid in 1948 by Sir Albert Richardson, later President of the Royal Academy, when he said: "He was a master builder of the calibre of the Grimbolds and other famous country men. He spared no pains and placed ultimate good before financial gain. No mean craftsman him­ self, he demanded similar excellence from his helpers." Three-quarters of a century later Marriotts' highly specialised Special Projects Division displays the same inherent skills in the same delicate work on buildings throughout the Midlands. To date Hatfield House, Long Melford Hall in Suffolk. the Branch Library at Earls Barton, the restoration of Castle Cottage at Higham Ferrers, Fisons Ltd., Cambridge, Greens Norton School, Woburn Abbey restorations and the Falcon Inn, Castle Ashby, all bear witness to the craftsmanship of Marriotts.

  • Accent Variation and Attitude on the Merseyside/Lancashire Border: a Sociophonetic Study of Southport and Ormskirk
    Accent variation and attitude on the Merseyside/Lancashire border: A sociophonetic study of Southport and Ormskirk Helen Faye West Ph.D. University of York Language and Linguistic Science March 2013 i ABSTRACT Recent sociolinguistic studies have argued that speaker identity is accentuated in border regions due to speakers’ desire to project a strong sense of identity (Llamas 2007; 2010; Beal 2010, Britain 2010). The AISEB (Accent and Identity on the Scottish/English Border) project shows the effect of national political affiliation on linguistic output, observing that linguistic diversity along the Scottish/English border appears to be increasing in some areas in a way that coincides with heightened speaker attitudes in relation to the nearby boundary. In the light of these findings, increased attention has been paid to urban zones which are geographically either next to perceptual and/or physical boundaries or within areas which have undergone a political boundary change. Following the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972, the creation of the administrative county of Merseyside provides us with fertile ground for the study of the relationship between language variation and regional identity. Although Liverpool sits at the heart of the administrative county and the wider region, Merseyside and its immediate environs are a diverse mix of the urban, suburban and rural with quite different social, industrial and economic histories. In particular, the town of Southport, situated seventeen miles north of Liverpool, are often positioned by both residents of Liverpool and the towns themselves as quite distinct entities from the urban centre of the administrative county, despite both having been included within the borders of Merseyside from its inception (West 2013).
