1 THE EASTERLING JOURNAL OF THE EASTANGLIAN WATERWAYS ASSOCIATION VOLUME NINE, NUMBER NINE JUNE 2014 Edited by Alan H. Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The 44 th Annual General Meeting was held on Sunday 18 May based on St. Mary’s Church Hall, Westry, March in Cambridgeshire. The day started off with a visit to the nearby boatyard operated by Fox Narrow Boats where we were met by Paula Syred, daughter of the late Charlie Fox who had established the business in 1959. Members were given an interesting presentation of how the company had developed before looking round the marina and being able to inspect two of the current hire boats – Leisurely Fox and Silver Fox - both of which looked extremely smart. And then it was back to St. Marys where we were fortunate in being able to look round the recently restored church that had suffered an arson attack four years ago. Members then enjoyed an excellent luncheon laid on by Margaret Martin and her team before turning to the formal business of the day. 2 The Director’s Report and Accounts for the year ending 30 June 2013 were duly, approved before Alan Faulkner, David Mercer and Jeff Walters were re-elected as Directors and John Cordran was re-elected as Accounts Scrutineer. Chris Black then gave a full report about the progress on the North Walsham & Dilham Canal and the meeting concluded with a report by Chairman Roger which centred round the Environment Agency’s reduction in dredging and maintenance.

Colne Valley Park: a Brief History
Colne Valley Park: A Brief History The Colne Valley Regional Park was established in 1967 View of the Park today to preserve areas suitable for leisure, recreation and con- servation to the west of London, between Rickmansworth and Staines. The area that is now the Park has been val- ued by different people for different reasons at different times and many of those long since dead former inhabi- tants of the area have left traces of their way of life. Palaeolithic (400, 000 – 8, 500 BC) The earliest traces of people in the Park date to around 400,000 BC. During this geological period (the Pleisto- cene) vast sheets of ice advanced from Polar regions to cover much of Britain. There were numerous climatic changes with cold or ‘glacial’ phases, alternating with more temperate ‘interglacial’ phases. The dramatic changes in temperature are associated with changes in flora and fauna. It was during this period that rivers de- posited gravel, silt and sand within the Colne Valley, and it has been during gravel extraction that evidence for this period has been recovered. During the milder periods Chorleywood Stone Age people would have inhabited the region. Colne Valley RICKMANSWORTH Evidence is limited due to the changes wrought on the Park: landscape by the ice and all that survives are remains of Maple Cross abraded flint tools, moved from their original location and Chalfont Common re-deposited in riverbeds. Yiewsley (just outside the bor- Chalfont St Peter Harefield ders of the park) is one of the most important sites in Europe for this period, and the earliest tools found here Gerrards Cross are crudely modified rocks.
