BOSWORTH BUGLE ISSUE 249 MAY 2017 BIGGER BOSWORTH? N Last Month’S Bugle We Lauded the Commencement of Davidsons’ 41 Home Welford Road Development FOR THE COMMUNITY OF HUSBANDS BOSWORTH EST. 1996 BOSWORTH BUGLE ISSUE 249 MAY 2017 BIGGER BOSWORTH? n last month’s Bugle we lauded the commencement of Davidsons’ 41 home Welford Road development. IThe project, which includes a new doctors’ surgery building as the developer’s community contribution, has been looming amidst much speculation, for almost three years. So, the start of ground works on site at the beginning of last month was generally welcomed. However, concerns have been raised that assurances that the surgery element would be tackled first don’t seem to be reflected in the work that is going ahead. Instead, the site of the new surgery building seems to have been excluded from the initial ground works that are presently being carried out. Concerns have also been raised regarding the bird-proofing of the hedge at the back of the site, which suggests that Davidsons are looking at the possibility of extending the site into the fields to the east of the permitted area. At present the bird-proofing has been justified to enable the developer to remove the section of hedgerow in order to establish an off-site storage compound in the adjacent field. However, if approved for development later, this could see more housing stretching across to Butt Lane. OUT OF BOUNDS?

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

NEOLITHIC AND EARLY BRONZE AGE LEICESTERSHIRE 3.1 Introduction Evidence for occupation within early prehistoric Leicestershire as previously stated (section 1.2), is not extensive and relies heavily on the identification of lithic scatters, crop marks and aerial photographic evidence. However, recent excavations within the East Midlands region have made important additions to the known evidence providing the means to better understand this period of time, such as the Raunds Area Project (Parry 2006), the National Mapping Programme for Nottinghamshire (Deegan 1999) and Northamptonshire (Deegan & Foard 2007). This chapter outlines the known Neolithic and early Bronze Age archaeological evidence for Leicestershire, with specific reference to the pottery assemblages recovered. The information is then placed into context through comparative assessment with the known regional evidence. This examines how the resource from these counties may be considered alongside the current trends in Neolithic and early Bronze Age research and regional syntheses (see Clay 2006; Bradley 2007; Cunliffe 2012). 3.2 Chronology For this research, the early prehistoric chronology for the East Midlands region has been based upon the following period divisions outlined by Clay (2006: 71).

This ramifies back and forth with evidence.

  • Walk About Bosworth 3
    WALK ABOUT BOSWORTH 3. BRIDLED PASSIONS... Easy going mainly, canal towpath can be muddy in parts. WALKS AROUND BOSWORTH 3. Bridled passions... This walk starts and ends at the The Green. [There is limited car parking near The Green and Turville Hall car park - please park considerately] Mainly easy going, though canal towpath can be muddy and narrow in parts. 5.2 miles (8.36km) Cross over the pedestrian crossing and walk down Bell Lane Carry on down Bell Lane for about 150 yards and turn down Green Lane. Green Lane has a bit of an identity problem... Whilst ostensibly a through route, the county council in their infinite wisdom decided that the number of vehicles following sat-navs getting stuck where the lane narrows warranted the installation of a No Through Road sign. Significantly there is no sign at the other end, so it’s apparently not a No Through Road from that direction! Cross over Berridges Lane to the Public Footpath This is Dag Lane, which was once probably a much more important thoroughfare than its current lowly footpath status - sunken roads such as this often betray Iron Age or Bronze Age origins. The meaning of ‘dag’ has been lost in the mists of time, but Dag Lanes are found in several Midland villages and locally in North Kilworth and Mowsley. At the ‘elbow’ bend in the track carry straight on through the hand gate in the direction indicated towards Mowsley, with the horse paddock on your right and down the slope. For years, before this field was divided into paddocks, whenever it snowed it became the village sledging field! Emerge onto the Mowsley bridle track through the kissing gate in the lower corner.
