  • The Gretna Bombing – 7Th April 1941
    Acknowledgements This booklet has been made possible by generous funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Armed Forces Community Covenant and Dumfries and Galloway Council, who have all kindly given The Devil’s Porridge Museum the opportunity to share the fascinating story of heroic Border people. Special thanks are given to all those local people who participated in interviews which helped to gather invaluable personal insights and key local knowledge. A special mention is deserved for the trustees and volunteers of the Devil’s Porridge Museum, who had the vision and drive to pursue the Solway Military Coast Project to a successful conclusion. Many thanks also to the staff from local libraries and archives for their assistance and giving access to fascinating sources of information. Written and Researched by Sarah Harper Edited by Richard Brodie ©Eastriggs and Gretna Heritage Group (SCIO) 2018 1 th The Gretna Bombing – 7 April 1941 The township of Gretna was built during the First World War to house many of the workers who produced cordite at the ‘greatest munitions factory on Earth’ which straddled the Scottish-English border. You might be forgiven if you had thought that Gretna and its twin township of Eastriggs would be constructed on a functional basis with little attention to detail. This was the case in the early days when a huge timber town was built on a grid system for the labourers and tradesmen, but, so intent was the Government on retaining the vital workforce, that it brought in the best town planners and architects to provide pleasant accommodation.

  • Ww1gap Worksheet Answers
    WW1Gap Worksheet answers HM Factory Gretna – Watch the film and look at the panels in The Devil’s Porridge Museum to find out the information to fill in the gaps. HM Factory Gretna was Britain’s largest munitions factory during WWI, stretching 9 miles along the Solway Coast from Dornock to Mossband. It was built in response to the shell crisis of 1915, when The Times newspaper reported The British Army was running dangerously short of artillery shells on The Western Front. This led to a change of government and the development of a national programme for munition production. A new government department was created to solve the munitions shortage with David Lloyd- George becoming the Minister of Munitions. Over 10 thousand labourers, mostly Irish navvies as well as 8,000 experts from the fields of chemistry, engineering and project management planned and built the factory in only 9 months. The townships of Gretna and Eastriggs were built to house the munition workers. These new settlements were seen as ideal communities, designed by the architects Raymond Unwin and Courtney Crickmer. The settlements had many amenities including church halls, shops, police barracks, a fire station, bakeries, a kitchen and dance halls. At its height, 30,000 people worked at HM Factory Gretna, 11,000 of whom were women. By June 1917, the factory produced1,100 tonnes of RDB cordite per week, more than all the other factories in Britain combined. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle visited the factory as a war correspondent and nicknamed the explosive mixture of nitro – cotton and nitro- glycerine the ‘Devil’s Porridge’.

The performance of the adopted Local Development Plan (LDP) (Sept 2014) against the former housing land requirement is outlined within the LDP Monitoring Statement. The provision of land for housing and the timely release of that land to enable building of homes is a key component of the Plan. The broader objective of the Plan in relation to housing is the creation of places with a range and choice of well-located homes, ensuring that the right development comes forward within the right places. It is vital these considerations underpin the whole process of planning for housing even at the earliest stages of setting the housing land requirement.

  • April 2021 Chairman’S Column
    THE TIGER The ANZAC Commemorative Medalion, awarded in 1967 to surviving members of the Australian forces who served on the Gallipoli Peninsula or their next of kin THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 113 – APRIL 2021 CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to The Tiger. It would be improper for me to begin this month’s column without first acknowledging those readers who contacted me to offer their condolences on my recent bereavement. Your cards and messages were very much appreciated and I hope to be able to thank you all in person once circumstances permit. Another recent passing, reported via social media, was that of military writer and historian Lyn Macdonald, whose Great War books, based on eyewitness accounts of Great War veterans, may be familiar to many of our readers. Over the twenty years between 1978 and 1998, Lyn completed a series of seven volumes, the first of which, They Called It Passchendaele, was one of my earliest purchases when I began to seriously study the Great War. I suspect it will not surprise those of you who know me well to learn that all her other works also adorn my bookshelves! The recent announcement in early March of a proposed memorial to honour Indian Great War pilot Hardit Singh Malik (shown right) will doubtless be of interest to our “aviation buffs”. Malik was the first Indian ever to fly for the Royal Flying Corps, having previously served as an Ambulance driver with the French Red Cross. A graduate of Balliol College, Oxford, it was the intervention of his tutor that finally obtained Malik a cadetship in the R.F.C.

It was planned as a settlement for the workers at the explosives factory in 1915, many of whom were migrants from Commonwealth countries, giving the settlement the name the Commonwealth Village. A munitions depot was established in WWII and the MOD used the site until 2010. This type of small town is extremely mixed in terms of demographics. There are particularly wide ranges of people, housing and activities. The number of older couples with no children is higher than average. There is a mix of professional and non- professional jobs, and part-time and self-employment are both important for a significant proportion of residents. Socioeconomic status is higher than in other types of town and there is a mix of professionals and nonprofessionals, those with higher and lower educational attainment. Eastriggs is a dependent to interdependent town. Its most similar towns are Shieldhill, Dunkeld and Birnam, Ochiltree, and Portknockie.

  • Book of Remembrance for Those Who Died in the Solway Within the Area of Annan
    BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE FOR THOSE WHO DIED IN THE SOLWAY WITHIN THE AREA OF ANNAN compiled by Clive Bonner edited for website by Robert Mitchell 2019 Profits from the sale of this book to Annan United Reformed Church and Annandale Churches Together for their work in the community of Annan. © Clive Bonner 2009 ISBN 9781 899316540 1 Explanation This work of Remembrance has grown from a suggestion, made by a person who lost his own father to the Solway, that the Annan fishermen who died while fishing in the Solway should have a memorial in Annan. He felt it fitting that the memorial should be in that building he knew as the 'fisherman's church', that is the Annan United Reformed Church, which was from the 1890's to 2000 the Congregational Church. With the backing of the congregation of the Annan United Reformed Church and the members of Annandale Churches Together I undertook to do the research required to bring the memorial into being. A small group of people drawn from all the interested denominations within Annan was formed and at its only meeting was tasked with providing the names of fishermen who fitted the criterion to be included on the memorial. The criterion was to limit the memorial to those who sailed from Annan or were resident in Annan at the time of their loss. Using this information, I researched in the local and national newspapers to find the reports telling the known facts, obtained from people present at the time of the tragedies. I have transcribed the reports from either the original newspapers or microfiche and have only added detail to correct factual inaccuracies using information from death certificates and family when supplied.

  • Settlement Hierarchy TECHNICAL PAPER
    Dumfries and Galloway Council LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2 Settlement Hierarchy TECHNICAL PAPER JANUARY 2018 www.dumgal.gov.uk DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY COUNCIL Settlement Hierarchy Technical Paper Introduction In reviewing the Spatial Strategy for Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) one of the first activities is to carry out an assessment and consideration of the importance, distribution, size and nature of existing settlements (towns and villages). The most common way to do this is through the development of a settlement hierarchy. What is a settlement hierarchy? A settlement hierarchy is when settlements are put in an order and classified based on their size and/or the range of services that they provide for people. The higher up the hierarchy you go, there are fewer settlements but they increase in their size in terms of population and the number of services provided. The resulting hierarchy tends to be pyramid in shape as shown below in Fig. 1. Figure 1: General Settlement Hierarchy Source: http://www.geographyalltheway.com/igcse_geography/population_settlement/settlement/ imagesetc/settlement_hierarchy.gif Within Dumfries and Galloway, the top two tiers shown above (conurbations and cities), are not relevant but the same principles apply. In order to produce and establish a relevant settlement hierarchy for LDP2, the settlement hierarchy flow chart was reviewed taking account of population and a number of social, economic and environmental factors. The flow chart is shown in Figure 3overleaf. 3 DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY COUNCIL Settlement Hierarchy Technical Paper All settlements that are identified in the LDP have been assessed using the settlement hierarchy flow chart. This results in a simpler settlement hierarchy that is more relevant to Dumfries and Galloway and is shown in figure 2 below.
