The location of the Site is illustrated on Figure 1. It covers some 73 ha of farmland on the eastern fringes of Wisbech and straddles the administrative boundary between Fenland District Council (FDC) and the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk (KLWNBC). The East Wisbech BCP Steering Group is expecting to take the final BCP to FDC and KLWNBC Planning Committees for approval in late autumn 2017. 1.2 Report structure Following this introduction, the report is subdivided into the following sections: Baseline surveys • Section 2 - landscape and visual appraisal: baseline surveys leading to an assessment of landscape character sensitivity, visual sensitivity and landscape value, taking account of relevant environmental designations and the scope to accommodate change and/or mitigate potential impacts Figure 1 - Site location 5 Sheils Flynn Google Licence - JCPMB8T1Z8S2M11 Leverington River Nene Walsoken WISBECH West Meadowgate A47 Emneth Begdale Elm Colletts Bridge A1100 Friday Bridge Figure 1 - Site location 2 Landscape and visual appraisal 6 2.1 Landscape context for this landscape and visual appraisal, but the criteria and methods for assessing landscape sensitivity are Figure 2 shows the landscape context for the relevant and useful in the context of a landscape Site, which is an area of flat agricultural land on and visual appraisal which is to be used as a basis the eastern fringes of Wisbech and to the south for a concept masterplanning process, not least of the neighbourhood of Walsoken.

  • Norfolk Through a Lens
    NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service 2 NORFOLK THROUGH A LENS A guide to the Photographic Collections held by Norfolk Library & Information Service History and Background The systematic collecting of photographs of Norfolk really began in 1913 when the Norfolk Photographic Survey was formed, although there are many images in the collection which date from shortly after the invention of photography (during the 1840s) and a great deal which are late Victorian. In less than one year over a thousand photographs were deposited in Norwich Library and by the mid- 1990s the collection had expanded to 30,000 prints and a similar number of negatives. The devastating Norwich library fire of 1994 destroyed around 15,000 Norwich prints, some of which were early images. Fortunately, many of the most important images were copied before the fire and those copies have since been purchased and returned to the library holdings. In 1999 a very successful public appeal was launched to replace parts of the lost archive and expand the collection. Today the collection (which was based upon the survey) contains a huge variety of material from amateur and informal work to commercial pictures. This includes newspaper reportage, portraiture, building and landscape surveys, tourism and advertising. There is work by the pioneers of photography in the region; there are collections by talented and dedicated amateurs as well as professional art photographers and early female practitioners such as Olive Edis, Viola Grimes and Edith Flowerdew. More recent images of Norfolk life are now beginning to filter in, such as a village survey of Ashwellthorpe by Richard Tilbrook from 1977, groups of Norwich punks and Norfolk fairs from the 1980s by Paul Harley and re-development images post 1990s.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom. The digital images were produced as a result of partnership projects with other groups and organizations, so we are not able to supply copies of whole registers (either as hard copies or on CD or in any other digital format), although in most cases we have permission to provide printout copies of individual entries.

  • Remembrance Sunday 2011 - an Article by Peter Wadlow
    Remembrance Sunday 2011 - An Article by Peter Wadlow Many of you will be aware that 2011 sees the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Royal British Legion. Fewer of you though may also be aware that 2011 is the 90th anniversary of the unveiling of our own Walsoken War Memorial in the cemetery. It was on Sunday, 6th February 1921 that a large crowd assembled in the cemetery at 2-30pm for the official unveiling of the War Memorial by Mr N. Jodrell, the Member of Parliament for the Kings Lynn Division. Music at the Ceremony was provided by The Wisbech Town Silver Prize Band and among the Clergy present were Rev John Young, Rector of Walsoken, Rev J.A. Snaith Rev W. Bryant and Captain Manson of the Salvation Army. The First World War 1914-1918 affected every city, town and village in the country. The War started in 1914 on a tide of patriotic fervour as young men rushed to volunteer to join the Armed Forces in what was universally believed to be a short war. It was certainly no different in Walsoken as men flocked to enlist and the local newspapers printed weekly lists of volunteers who had joined the army in Wisbech , March, Kings Lynn or Downham Market in response to the call of Lord Kitchener, Minister of War, for a million volunteers. The war lasted 4 long years and saw death and destruction on a huge scale. When the war finally ended in 1918 more than three quarters of a million British Soldiers were dead, 192,000 wives had lost their husbands and 360,000 children had lost their fathers.
