MALET LAMBERT TRANSITION MAGAZINE: CAVENDISH EDITION 03 Amazing Malet Lambert! By Alex Cavanaugh & Sam Killelay We talked to Ben who is a student at Malet Lambert. We asked him what he thought about the school and he said; “Malet Lambert is good for making friends and the most popular class is technology.” When we asked him why a lot of people like technology he said it is because you get to use all sorts of different equipment like drills, glue guns and lots of other things. Malet Lambert has recently received a makeover with a brand new cafeteria, a fantastic new open space, a new P.E. building and an awesome Astroturf pitch. I know because I’ve been told that Malet Lambert is a great school for having a good P.E. department. Malet Lambert looks like quite an artistic school because they have some enormous models such as Transformers, Avatar and other movie figures.

  • Shipbuilding Catching Shellfish
    IntroductionIntroduction Much of the East Riding of Yorkshire adjoins water: the North Sea and the River Humber and its tributaries. Over the centuries men have needed boats to travel over the water and to gather food from under it. Naturally people with the right skills set up to build these boats. Some ship building operations are quite well known, such as those in Beverley and Hull. They have been documented in exhibitions in other local museums. This exhibition looks at some less well known boat building yards and boat builders both on the east coast and along the banks of the Humber. It has been researched and produced by the Skidby Windmill Volunteer Team. Prehistory- the Ferriby boats The Yorkshire Wolds have been home to people since Neolithic times and the River Humber has been an important transport route allowing goods and people to travel in all directions by water. For thousands of years this was the easiest and safest way to travel. It is therefore not surprising that North Ferriby was the site of one of the oldest boatyards in Europe as well as being an important harbour. Above: hypothetical reconstruction of a Ferriby boat. Right: Excavation in 1963 In 1937 changes to the tidal currents exposed three large oak planks preserved in the mud which Ted and Willy Wright recognised as belonging to very early boats. At first these were thought to be Viking but later tests confirmed that they were Bronze Age and, at 4000 years A half-scale replica of the Ferriby boats called Oakleaf has been built and sea trials proved old they are some of the oldest boats discovered in Europe.

  • Hull Labour Group Responds to This Further Consultation Wholly Bemused by This Unusual Irregular Process
    THE HULL CITY COUNCIL LABOUR GROUP SUBMISSION TO THE FURTHER DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HULL CITY COUNCIL WARDS TH 8 AUGUST 2017 1 Contents Page Preface & Introduction 3 East Hull Wards 6 Sutton, Ings, Longhill & Bilton Grange, Marfleet and 6 Southcoates Drypool and Holderness 8 North Hull Wards 22 Avenue Ward 22 Kingswood, West Carr, North Carr Wards 25 Beverley Sculcoates Ward 33 Central Ward 54 Orchard Park, University Wards 58 Wyke Ward 59 West Hull Wards 60 Pickering 60 Newington & Gipsyville 63 St. Andrew’s & Docklands 72 Derringham 79 Boothferry 80 Concluding Statement 81 Appendices – scans of surveys sent separately due to volume. 2 Preface The Hull Labour Group responds to this further consultation wholly bemused by this unusual irregular process. Our unhappiness stems from the fact that we believe we were fundamentally misled by Commission staff who unequivocally stated that the first set of draft recommendations from the LGBCE would be based on a three- member Ward settlement. This LGBCE advice was given at the Labour Group Briefing with Officers and Members (including a Conservative Councillor) present). This then informed our initial response in October 2016. The alleged rationale and premature dismissal of a three-member Warding Settlement as proposed by Labour, seems to stem from the LGBCE’s refusal to consider a cross-river Ward. It is regrettable that the LGBCE continually refers to “’…our decision in relation to the River Hull…” [LGBCE Page 21 Paragraph 85, June 2017]. At this stage the LGBCE should have ONLY been dealing with recommendations, but it is clear, despite a lack of strong evidence, the LGBCE had made their mind up, preferring the repetition against such a ward by one political party.

  • Historic Analysis
    3 Historic Analysis 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Water 3.3 Urban Morphology 3.4 Historic Layers 3.5 North and South Strands 3.6 Hulls Topology 3.7 The Implications for Design in the Fruit Market 27_- 3.00 HISTORIC ANALYSIS 3.1 Introduction 3.1 This section of the Development Brief examines the city centre’s key natural features and the effects of these in shaping the plan form of the Old Town. The Fruit Market was an integral part of the Old Town until the A63 – a product of a Buchanan Masterplan - sliced the Old Town in two in the 1960s. The city’s history as it has been shaped by its relationship to water, from its fundamental topology to the way that development has related to the water, from the construction of the town walls from the 15th century to the creation of the ring of inner docks in the 18th and 19th century and their closure in the 20th. Successive waves of development, most particularly in the second half of the 20th century, have eroded this relationship. 3.2 A key task of development in the Fruit Market in the 21st century is to honour the legacy of this history, protecting and restoring what remains and where it has been or damaged, recovering it in sympathetic, but contemporary, development. This section concludes with the historic references that new development must observe and reinforce: • The contrast between the flatness of the city centre’s topography and the verticality of its buildings, and the consciousness and sensitivity with which new development must manage this contrast; • The symbolic importance of the water, both in the massing and heights of buildings that relate to the water and in maintaining and recovering visual clues of the relationship with water; • The recovery and emphasis of the alleys and ginnels that remain, and the qualities of discovery and interest engendered; and • The plot widths that characterise the Fruit Market’s morphology.
