  • What's in a Road Name? Banking in Dore Council Elections Wirksworth
    to DORE VILLAGE SOCIETY NO. 66 SUMMER 2002 ISSN 0965-8912 What's in a road name? After a number of years without publishing any new titles, the DVS is soon to launch a significant new publication. The A to W of DORE describes the background to the naming of every road and street in Dore. The book also records the history of many of the roads' historic features and buildings. Whilst not intended as a history of the village, it contains much information that has not been widely published before and should therefore appeal to new and old residents alike. The project to produce the book was begun by Roger Millican over two years ago but it was only when co-author, John Dunstan, returned to take up residence in Furniss Avenue in the 1950s. Named after the village, that it gathered momentum.

  • Wharncliffe and Wombwell Forest Plan
    Sence Valley WharncliffeForest Plan and Wombwell2019 to 2028 Forest Plan 2020– 2029 1 Wharncliffe & Wombwell Forest Plan 2020 Summary The Wharncliffe and Wombwell Forest plan (FP) summarises proposals by Forestry England for the management of Wharncliffe (449ha), Old Park (36ha) and Wombwell (145ha) woods. Space for Felling licence once approved The FP lies on the outskirts of Sheffield and Barnsley in a transitional area, lying between the more sparce rural landscapes to the west and heavily developed industrial areas to the east (Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire Coal fields and the Yorkshire Southern Pennine Fringe natural areas No.37 & 38). The woodlands are important features in the local landscape with a diverse mixture of associated woodland species, archaeological features which date back to 7500BC, Lowland Heath (designated as a local nature reserve) and Wharncliffe Crags, a geological feature designated as a Site of Special Scientific interest (SSSI). The native oak birch woodland were largely cleared in the early 20th century for the war effort and when replanting began the introduction of conifers, sweet chestnut and beech was used to help produce timber crops on a shorter rotation than the traditional oak stands. Over the last decade the health of the forest has been impacted by a number of diseases now affecting a wide variety of tree species across the country and this will have a major impact on the forest structure and the suitability of species that will survive and remain healthy. Public access into these woodlands has been enjoyed for centuries and today Forestry England manages a network of forest roads and promoted trails to allow easy access all year around.
