Devolution Decade
spring 2009 Production Editor: John Osmond Devolution Decade Assistant Editor: Nick Morris Associate Editors: On the face of it the verdicts we publish in this issue by leading protagonists in Geraint Talfan Davies, Rhys David the 1997 referendum on the first ten years of the National Assembly make pretty depressing reading. Professor Kevin Morgan, who chaired the Yes Campaign, is Administration: Helen Sims-Coomber, Clare Johnson especially damning. He lets us in to what he describes as “devolution’s dirty little secret”, its failure to make a fist of developing the Welsh economy. And the Design: statistics are incontrovertible. In terms of our prosperity relative to most other www.theundercard.co.uk parts of the United Kingdom, we’ve actually gone backwards in the first decade To advertise – declining from 77 to 75 per cent of the UK’s average GVA. When we started Tel: 029 2066 6606 out the Assembly Government’s stated ambition was to climb to 90 per cent by Institute of Welsh Affairs 2010, an aspiration that has been quietly dropped. One way or another our other 4 Cathedral Road contributors all point to the economy as the central reason for their Cardiff CF11 9LJ disappointment with devolution’s record so far. Tel: 029 2066 0820 Yet a narrow focus on the economy, important as it undoubtedly is, leads Email: [email protected] to a zero sum game. Devolution is about much more than that. And anyway, www.iwa.org.uk as Kevin Morgan himself concedes, the amount that government can do to The IWA is a non-aligned independent think- influence the economy will always be limited, especially a government with so tank and research institute, based in Cardiff with relatively little control over the main economic levers as the one in Cardiff Bay. -
Public Rights of Way Annual Report Public Rights of Way | 2013-2014 Foreword
Environment Directorate Public Rights of Way Annual Report Public Rights of Way | 2013-2014 Foreword This is the third Annual report on the public rights of way service. Once again, the All-Wales coastal path has featured prominently in the work programme, but for very different reasons. Few would have anticipated that less than two years after its official launch sections of the coastal path would have fallen victim to the storms that had such a devastating impact on Britain’s coastline during the winter months of 2013 and 2014. Work is already well under way to repair the damage that caused breaches in the path as a result of the severe weather, and several sections of the path have already reopened. Tribute should be paid to Network Rail, Natural Resources Wales, the Council’s Countryside Service and all the relevant landowners for arranging the paths to be reinstated so quickly; and to the Rights of Way Team for swiftly organising the closures of the path to protect the public. In the foreword to the previous Annual Report, brief mention was made of the Burton Point cycleway, which was officially opened in July 2013. This has proved to be a huge success story, with over 10,000 bicyclists using the way in September 2013 alone. The route provides a safe and environmentally sustainable alternative to the A494/A550 trunk road for people living and working on either side of the border, as well as for the many visitors to the area. The County Council continued to receive grant-aid support from Natural Resources Wales to implement its ROWIP programme, support that is much needed in the current financial climate and is set to continue at the same level for the present financial year. -

Mining for Metals in Wales
Mining for Metals in Wales By F. J. North National Museum of Wales 1962 We learn from the history of nearly all ages that very many men have been made rich by the mines. Georgius Agricola, De Re Metallica, 1556. PREFACE This monograph has been prepared by the former Keeper of Geology in the Museum, who served as Acting-Keeper of the newly established Department of Industry pending the appointment of the present head of the Department, Mr. D. Morgan Rees, M.A. It provides a brief summary of the widely dispersed literature of the subject, synthesized in the light of personal observations over many years. An adequate history of the mining industry in Wales has yet to be written, but in the meantime the bibliography here included will, it is hoped, lead those who wish for further information to the more important of the works in which it can be found. As the Department of Industry develops, and especially when the galleries in the new west wing become available, exhibits illustrating many of the operations described in these pages will play an increasingly important part, and information and objects likely to be of assistance in preparing such exhibits will be welcomed in the Department.

What Are We Doing Here? Drought, Dread and Family in the American Southwest by Cally Carswell CONTENTS
‘PUNISHMENT COMEDY’ | THE ARIDIFYING SOUTHWEST | REDEFINING RESTORATION High Country ForN people whoews care about the West August 6, 2018 | $5 | Vol. 50 No. 13 | www.hcn.org 13 50 No. | $5 Vol. August 6, 2018 What Are We Doing Here? Drought, dread and family in the American Southwest By Cally Carswell CONTENTS Editor’s note When dreams dry up We knew it was going to be a weird summer when it barely snowed all winter. By the end of May, the last patches of white had vanished from 11,401-foot Mount Lamborn, and the words, “Never seen anything like it,” slipped out of the mouths of even our most ardent climate skeptics. A month later, irrigation ditches stopped flowing, and skies grew murky from wildfires. An oppressive atmosphere settled over our valley, like the aftermath of a presidential tweet storm. That made it even weirder when, on July 8, a friend spotted what looked like a body floating down turgid Minnesota Creek, just outside of town. A microburst had dumped three-quarters of an inch of rain in less than an hour, swelling the dismal trickle to a full-fledged flood. The man was lucky to survive; he’d been swept into the creek a half-mile upstream while trying to jump across it. Somehow he dragged Don Bustos adjusts the headgate to the acequia that runs through his and neighboring farms and orchards in himself out, muddy and cold as a crawdad. Española, New Mexico, where his ancestors began farming more than 400 years ago. STEFAN WACHS How quickly and violently the climate tables can turn in the West, and how unprepared for this FEATURE we generally are. -
John Gibbons of Oswestry: an Eighteenth Century Capitalist” British Mining No.43, NMRS, Pp.63-75
BRITISH MINING No.43 BRITISH MINING No.43 MEMOIRS 1991 Goodchild, J. 1991 “John Gibbons of Oswestry: An Eighteenth Century Capitalist” British Mining No.43, NMRS, pp.63-75 Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1991. NB This publication was originally issued in the A4 format then used by the society. It has now been digitised and reformatted at A5. This has changed the original pagination of articles, which is given in square brackets. ISSN 0309-2199 JOHN GIBBONS OF OSWESTRY: AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY CAPITALIST by John Goodchild, M Univ SYNOPSIS The recent purchase of a manuscript volume containing a record of the financial transactions of John Gibbons of Oswestry in Shropshire, has allowed the present writer to investigate the topographically widespread and very varied interests of yet another entrepreneur whose investment portfolio seems to mirror the usual apparently haphazard acquisition of promising-looking interests. Of the investor’s background nothing is known, although he may have sprung from a cadet branch of the Staffordshire industrialist Gibbons family; the accounts cover the years from 1787 until Gibbons’s own death in 1811. Unusually, the Oswestry parish registers do not give his age at death, but as a son was born at Swindon in Staffordshire in c1769, the father had presumably settled in Oswestry in middle age. He was certainly there in 1786, and equally certainly he was at that time a man of sufficient means to allow of varied investments. It is indeed the variety of Gibbons’s interests, and the detail which survives in relation to them, which make his story a significant one. -
Claims Concerning Early Coal Working in the Neston Area1
Claims Concerning Early Coal Working in the Neston Area1 © Anthony Annakin-Smith, 2021 As The Neston Collieries, 1759-1855: An Industrial Revolution in Rural Cheshire shows, plentiful evidence points to 1759 being the year in which the colliery at Ness first started working. However, many previous writers have suggested other years in which the works commenced – from 1750 to 1850.2 While these suggestions can be discounted with relative ease based on evidence in the book, there have been other claims that even earlier coal working occurred, at unspecified dates. They relate to two very different periods – the Romano-British era, and the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries; this article explores the evidence for these claims. Romano-British Coal Working The intriguing assertion concerning the Romano-British is based on an analysis of two specimens of coal, one in 1991 from an excavated 3rd century A.D. Romano-British settlement site at Irby, north Wirral and the other in 1996 from a spoil heap near the site of the Neston collieries.3 As a result of this analysis, it has been claimed that ‘Coal at the rural site at Irby was sourced to a small outcrop at Neston’.4 This conclusion was based on the work of two petrographic analysts who studied the samples, both of which were found to emanate from the Lower Coal Measures. The 1996 analyst concluded that, on the limited evidence he had, ‘the two coal samples were likely to have come from the same locality’ although ‘not…from 1 Note that short-form references are given for books and articles which appear in the Bibliography in A. -

Due to unforeseen circumstances publication was delayed and volume two of the ‘Non-Ferrous Mines of Wales’ series, relating to Denbighshire, was published first during 1972. We now present volume one and should emphasize that as the manuscript was compiled prior to 1967 some minor changes have taken place with regard to the current mining position.
