This year, Lancaster District’s annual feast, featuring all things nautical, has weighed anchor and sailed downstream to the historic C18th port of Glasson Dock, where the River Lune and Lancaster Canal meet the sea. Still a working port, Glasson began to be developed by the Lancaster Port Commission, in 1779, to accommodate the bigger ships, which could not easily make their way up the river to Lancaster. The sea dock, opened in 1787, is a little over two acres in size. Looking at it today, it is difficult to imagine that it could hold 25 large merchant sailing ships. A branch of the Lancaster Canal arrived here in 1826, terminating at the seven acre canal basin and linked to the sea dock by locks. A dry dock was excavated around 1840, to provide a ship building and repairing facility. The firm of James Nicholson leased the site from the Port Commissioners and, although the dry dock has been filled in, the successor company is still on Nicholson’s site, manufacturing motor vehicle silencers. It was here that the tall ship, ‘Ryelands’, was built in 1887, for the china clay trade. The vessel later became a film star, appearing as The Pequod in Moby Dick and as The Hispaniola in Treasure Island. She ended her days as an attraction on Morecambe seafront, before sadly being destroyed by fire. This year’s festivities will be focussed on the two greens, either side (East and West) of the sea lock, at the centre of Glasson and also at the ‘Canal Village’, specially erected on the edge of the canal basin, by the British Waterways car park, two or three minutes walk from the centre. In addition, Glasson’s Dalton Arms pub and the Stork Inn, at nearby Conder Green, will be hosting sea song and shanties, while the parish church provides the venue for afternoon talks. Visitors are particularly warned to ‘Beware the Press Gang’, which will be scouring the old port in search of recruits to join King George’s Navy, in their fight against Bonaparte! For those who would like to explore the area further, there will be daily guided walks looking at the port and its environs, with longer coast, countryside and canal walks, on the Sunday and Monday, exploring the area’s picturesque scenery. The festival’s special classic coach service will also be running again this year, providing a direct link with Lancaster quayside’s Maritime Museum, enabling festivalgoers to visit both Glasson and the Maritime Museum, during their stay. The coach service will also call at Conder Green’s Stork Inn. 5 MarFest Prog 2007 2 21/3/07 11:17 AM Page 6 MarFest Prog 2007 2 21/3/07 11:17 AM Page 7 VENUES The Maritime Weekend festivities encompass much of Glasson and beyond, to Conder Green. However, there will be two focal points of activity: the green areas adjacent to the dock and either side of the sea lock (East Quay Green and West Quay Green) and the temporary Canal Village, which will be situated on the eastern end of the Canal Basin. The Dalton Arms pub; Christ Church parish church and The Stork Inn, Conder Green, also provide venues. On West Quay Green The green will host two of the annual maritime festival’s most popular entertainments, Punch & Judy and nautical (tongue-in-cheek) dramas. This year the Punch & Judy Palace hosts shows by Professors Chandler and Robanti. Nearby, Inner State Theatre Co will be presenting twice daily performances of their maritime-themed shows. The full running orders are in the Diary section. Both entertainments take place throughout the weekend, Saturday to Bank Holiday Monday. On East Quay Green Here will be found the Sea Song & Shanty Tent, offering a full programme, Saturday to Bank Holiday Monday, from late morning until teatime. The adjacent maritime crafts pavilion features expert ships-in-bottles and knot-tying & ropework demonstrations. There will also be stands and displays, representing HM Coastguard; the Mission to Seafarers; RSPB and the Ramblers’ Association. The Chantey Cabin selling the best range of shanty CDs and related materials that you are likely to find, will be located across the way, next to the swing bridge. The festival’s Information Point will also be here. The displays and stalls open from approximately 10.30am to 5.30pm, Saturday to Bank Holiday Monday. The Dalton Arms and Stork Inn These two pubs will be entering into the spirit of the Maritime Weekend, both serving real ale and the best of pub grub.

    Chichester Vision Project Maximising the Student Economy Contents Page Page Number Introduction 3 Survey Demographics 4 Shopping 6 Food and Drink 9 Nightlife and 12 Entertainment Culture and Heritage 14 Conclusion 16 Further Research 17 Reference List 19 2 Introduction Chichester is a small city in West Sussex, England, surrounded by The South Downs and Chichester Harbour both Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Although small, with a population of 24,000 (Lambert, 2016) the city centre is a base for shopping and eating for locals and tourists. After the growth of Chichester College with 12,000 students, (Chichester College, 2016) and The University of Chichester with 5,446 students (University of Chichester 2016), the city also has a substantial student population providing a younger demographic for the city to cater for and market opportunities. Chichester District Council are undertaking a new task called the Chichester Vision Project. Chichester’s Vision Project aims to help develop, improve and support the local economy to benefit residents, businesses and the area (CDC, 2015). To aid the project the aim of this report is to offer a fresh look at the opportunities that could maximise the student population. Previous research has highlighted the economic value of students to the local economy through direct spend but also through tourism activity, particularly in the form of VFR traffic. Key stakeholders in Chichester believe the city is not fully maximizing these opportunities, and have been keen to capture the voice of the student population as part of the visioning process. The aim of the research undertaken was to fully capture the student voice on different aspects of Chichester.

Bounded by high moors, limestone hills and shadowed by the distant peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Leck Fell, the route offers excellent, easy walking and is signposted and waymarked throughout. The Ramble links the City of Lancaster with the Lancaster, start of the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, two historic but very different centres. It makes the most of the Lune Valley Ramble valley’s intimate and tranquil pastoral setting, Although the Romans established a fort on passing through woodland, meadows and along Castle Hill around 80AD, it was those later the riverside itself.
