Leicestershire Record Office LEICESTERSHIRE NOTES 123 century date and are now being cleaned and listed in Leicester Museum. The site has since been under observation and much pottery and some small finds have been recovered. A feature of it is the large number of stone-lined pits some cut deep into the rock, no less than eleven of these having been so far recorded. HUMBERSTONE 623060 The Tithe Barn, a brick and timber building with a slate roof of the early seventeenth-century, has long been in a poor state of repair. After representations by the Society and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, the Sheffield Regional Hospitals Board, to whom it belongs, have undertaken its repair. (Photographs in Museum.) KIRKBY MALLORY 455018 "The Moats" has been panly levelled. Its plan is not given in V'. C.H or O.S. 6". (Sketch-plan and letter from Mr. D. '}. Bott in Museum.) QUENIBOROUGH 648121 A coin hoard is said to have been discovered during work in the main street in 1951 or 1952 and dispersed by the workmen without trace. An associated object appears from its description to have been a Saxon escutcheon, and may yet be located. If the report is true (and we .have it from an eye-witness) it is a scandalous reflection upon public ignorance and apathy to the importance of such material for local history. (Correspondence in Museum.) ROTHLEY 584127 Two cottages in North Street which stood to the west of the village green were demolished in 1953. The cottage on the north was of cruck construction, probably dating from c. 1500 or earlier. That on the south with the large stone chimney­ stack was of timber-framed construction on a stone foundation and might be dated to the second half of the sixteenth century. There were no striking fittings. (Photographs and corner-cupboard in Museum.) STAUNTON HAROLD 380209 The restoration of the fabric of the church is now largely complete, . thanks to a generous grant from the Pilgrim Trust. The interior has been plastered and the exterior repointed and made weatherproof. A further sum is needed to re-hang the bells, repair the floor, and restore the banners and the original clear glass. The work has been supervised by Louis Osman, B.A. (Arch.), F.R.I.B.A. On 28 September the tercentenary of the foundation was observed, the sermon being preached by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The building has now been vested in the National Trust by Earl Ferrers. Much concern is however felt for the Hall, one of the few fine houses surviving in the county, and an essential part of the Staunton scene . It is now fast becoming derelict.

  • Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal
    Leicester and Leicestershire City Deal Page | 1 Executive Summary Leicester and Leicestershire is a diverse and dynamic local economy and its success is integral to driving economic growth in the United Kingdom. The area is home to just under 1 million residents and over 32,000 businesses, many in the manufacturing and logistics sectors. Leicester and Leicestershire also benefits from its location at the heart of the UK road network and close proximity to both the second largest freight handling airport in the UK and London. The area provides employment for 435,000 people and generates an estimated gross value added of £19.4 billion. Despite these strengths Leicester and Leicestershire faces a series of challenges: more than 25,000 jobs were lost between 2008 and 2011 (nearly twice the national average); youth unemployment is relatively high within the city of Leicester and parts of the county; and whilst 70% of small and medium enterprises have plans for growth many find accessing the right type of business support is complex. Some local businesses also note difficulties in filling vacancies. As part of the area’s wider Growth Strategy the City Deal seeks to tackle these key barriers. Over its lifetime the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership expects that the City Deal will deliver: A new employment scheme targeted at 16-24 year olds that will reduce youth unemployment by 50% by 2018, deliver 3,000 new apprenticeships and 1,000 traineeships and work placements. An innovative new employment and training scheme for young offenders. Improved co-ordination of business support services and a range of innovative business support programmes.

  • E0051 Ashby Canal Exec Summary.Indd
    Ashby Canal Restoration Snarestone to Measham BUSINESS PLAN SUMMARY Leicestershire County Council Community Services Department May 2006 The Ashby Canal Restoration Project This project is to restore the Ashby Canal from its current terminus at Snarestone northwards for a distance of 4.5 km to a new canal wharf at Measham (Map 1). The power to acquire the necessary land and to construct and maintain the canal was provided in October 2005 when the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs confirmed the Leicestershire County Council (Ashby de la Zouch Extension) Order made under the powers of the Transport and Works Act 1992. In making the Order the Secretary of State noted that the scheme is consistent with national, regional and local policies, would contribute significantly to regeneration objectives and would produce considerable economic, environmental and social benefits. History The Ashby Canal was completed in 1804 and connected Moira in north western Leicestershire to the Coventry Canal at Bedworth. It was used primarily to carry coal from the Ashby Woulds mines to markets in the Midlands and the South. The northern reaches of the canal were closed between 1944 and 1966 due to mining subsidence but in recent years the feasibility of restoration has been established and is strongly supported by local communities as a means of regeneration. The project will follow on from the successful restoration (1999 – 2005) of over 2km of the Ashby Canal between Donisthorpe and Moira at ‘The Heart of the National Forest’. This award-winning length hosts the annual Moira Canal Festival, and in conjunction Left: Moira Furnace before restoration The proposed canal - Measham Station (c1950) Below: Moira Furnace after restoration (May 2006) 2 3 with the adjacent Moira Furnace Museum and Conkers (the National Forest Discovery Centre) is a popular leisure destination throughout the year.

  • Central Midlands: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Screening and Immunisation Team), May 2017
    NHS England Midlands and East (Central Midlands: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Screening and Immunisation Team), May 2017 PGD validity There has been some confusion regarding the switch from local PGD production to the adoption of PHE national template PGDs. We have had reports of practices using national template PGDs which have been download directly from the PHE webpages, and an email sent out to warn against using an un-adopted document has unfortunately led some staff to believe that the recently supplied antenatal pertussis PGD isn’t valid. We’re sorry that this has proved confusing, but all of our communications, the information on the page above, and now on our own webpages https://www.england.nhs.uk/mids- east/our-work/ll-immunisation/, as well as in the documents themselves (template and adopted version) include wording that distinguishes between the two and spells out the legal position. Hopefully the following information will provide the necessary clarification: National templates are just that – templates. They are not PGDs, and cannot be used unless they have been authorised and adopted for use by an organisation legally permitted to do this. They are Word documents into which local text can be added to allow local authorisation to take place. Without this authorisation a non-prescribing registered health care professional would effectively be prescribing and therefore acting illegally should they administer a vaccination using the template. NHS England is able to adopt PGDs for local use. The PGD must clearly state: o the name of the authorising organisation o on whose behalf it has been authorised (i.e.

  • The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE
    The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE BRABER Investigating feelings of identity in East Midlands adolescents Introduction When considering dialectal variation in the UK, linguists have frequently considered the North/South divide and the linguistic markers separating the two regions (see for example Trudgill, 1999; Wells, 1986). But it has been noted that this is not a straightforward division (e.g. Beal, 2008; Goodey, Gold, Duffett & Spencer, 1971; Montgomery, 2007; Wales, 2002). There are clear stereotypes for the North and South – but how do areas like the East Midlands fit into the picture? The boundaries between North and South are defined in different ways. Beal’s linguistic North does not include the East Midlands (Beal, 2008: 124- 5), neither does Wales’ (2002: 48). Trudgill states that in traditional dialectology the East Midlands area falls under ‘Central’ dialects, which come under the ‘Southern’ branch, but in modern dialectology it falls in the ‘North’. Hughes, Trudgill and Watt (2005: 70) contains a map which has the East Midlands in the North. Linguistically, the question has been raised whether there is a clear North/South boundary (see for example Upton (2012) where it is proposed that it is a transition zone). This paper revisits this question from the point of view of young people living in the East Midlands, to examine their sense of identity and whether this cultural divide is salient to them. The East Midlands is a problematic area in its definition geographically, and people may have difficulty in relating this to their own sense of identity.
