  • Nottinghamshire Aviation Memorials
    Nottinghamshire Aviation Memorials Aviation | Aviation Memorials in Nottinghamshire We love to commemorate our aviation heritage. In Nottinghamshire We Love To Commemorate Our Aviation Heritage The diversity of aviation memorial locations across the county is impressive. These memorials are not just at airfield sites, but they can also be found in churches, village halls, on city streets and at remote countryside locations. Some memorials are relatively new, whilst others can trace their origins back Nottinghamshire decades. These memorials, some of them raised through public subscription, reflect the lives of national figures like Albert Ball VC; whilst others are simpler marks of respect that have been erected thanks to the efforts of small groups of individuals. There are even sculptures and pub signs that highlight the county’s contribution to the development of significant aviation technologies. Collectively they play a part in helping to commemorate the county’s aviation heritage. Many individuals had travelled from around the world to air bases in Aviation Memorials Aviation | Nottinghamshire to train as World War II bomber crews. A common bond that joins most of these memorials together is that they commemorate the lives of brave individuals who were lost whilst learning these new skills; often in difficult weather conditions, a long way from home and in a relatively congested airspace, caused by having a lot of airfields so close together. For each of the memorials listed we have provided some background information about the crews involved and the circumstances of the crash; this is merely a snapshot of incidents that are recorded in more detail in books and on websites and we would encourage you to investigate them further.

MY DEAR NEPHEW, IN dedicating these pages to you as the head of our family, I do not feel it incumbent upon me to offer any apology for the manner in which they have been drawn up; as they have not been written with a view to anything beyond a faithful account of those things to which they relate; and, since they are only intended for private distribution among those whom the subject is likely to interest, I need hardly suggest excuses for the so-called weakness of a certain degree of pride in being conscious of the advantages of good birth, and so recording it. Were it necessary to do this, I might appeal to some of the most intelligent and able men of this age: I might quote from Gibbon that "experience has proved that there is scarcely any man of a vi DEDICATION. tolerable family who does not wish to know as much as he can about it; nor is such an ambition either foolish in itself or hurtful to society :" or from Watson Bishop of Landaff, who, entering more fully on the subject, says, "All families being of equal antiquity, and time and chance happening so to all that kings become beggars and beggars become kings, no solid reason I think can be given why any man should derive honour or infamy from the station his ancestors held in civil society; yet the contrary opinion is so prevalent that no words need be employed in proving that it is so.

    Bassetlaw Landscape Character Assessment Mid-Nottinghamshire Farmlands: MN PZ 11 Mid-Nottinghamshire Farmlands Policy Zone 11: Tuxford POLICY: CONSERVE AND REINFORCE Character Summary The area is located south of Retford encompassing the larger settlements of Tuxford and East Markham, and smaller villages including West Markham, Bevercotes and several farms. It straddles the A1 at East Markham and Tuxford, the Doncaster to Newark railway line intersects the Policy Zone close to the southern boundary. The A57 forms much of the northern boundary while the southern boundary follows Goosemoor Dyke. Generally the landform is rolling with large rounded hills in the west. A series of more undulating ridges are apparent in the eastern half of the Policy Zone. Higher ground lies in the west which descends towards the east. Wider views are afforded from higher ground, particularly at the centre of the Policy Zone. Views are more limited in the east and west by topography and settlement allowing relatively enclosed views from lower ground. Open arable farmland dominates the west of the Policy Zone where fields are delineated by well maintained hedgerows, these have been allowed to grow taller alongside roads and tracks. A significant woodland area; Bevercotes Park and Farley’s Wood occupies the south-west corner. In the east the land use is more diverse comprising arable farmland, and pasture which is close to East Markham and Tuxford; prominent settlement adjacent to the A1. Small areas of industrial and commercial development are located near to Tuxford and several small settlements, including farms, are dotted throughout the area. Field boundaries are predominantly shrubs rather than hedges and are often gappy with no trees apparent, however tree cover is relatively strong within the towns.

In Bassetlaw, however, the first sign that spring is just around the corner is heralded by the annual Hodscock Snowdrop Festival. This event attracts visitors from far and wide to see the millions of snowdrops in fragrant winter borders. The height of summer is the time when musical, artistic and cultural activities are staged throughout the district and the rural villages of Bassetlaw abound with summer festivities. Many residents open their gardens to the public and stage spectacular village events. A leisurely walk along the Chesterfield Canal is probably one of the best ways to enjoy a long summer evening, stopping to sample the delights of one the many picturesque pubs along the way. As evenings draw in and the leaves turn to gold, the stunning autumnal displays seen in Clumber Park can easily rival those of America’s New England states.
