Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) FALKIRK ARCHIVES Records of Churches Grangemouth Christ the King Church finding aid Christ the King Church is a Roman Catholic Church, established in 1975 in Grangemouth. Records of Roman Catholic Churches are normally held in the church or by the Scottish Catholic Archives. The post Reformation Roman Catholic Church in Falkirk began with the appointment of Father Paul Maclachlan as priest for Stirlingshire in 1831. A regular Sunday Mass began on 5th May 1839 in the Assembly Rooms in the Pleasance. On September 6th 1841 land belonging to Aitkens the brewers on Hope Street was purchased for £40 and William Stirling was appointed to design the new church building. Work began in 1842 and on 28th May 1843 the new church was opened for worship. Linlithgow and with it Bathgate and Bo’ness had been given its own priest in 1851. Between 1881 and 1883 Father William Grady oversaw the establishment of a church in Slamannan. In 1885 Father Grady began regular Masses in Rumford and by 1890 a school chapel was built with space for 300 at Mass and 25 children by day. The first Mass in Grangemouth was said in October 1889 but the rented hall could not cope with the demand for places. In 1900 a priest was appointed to look after the separate mission of Grangemouth and in 1927 Sacred Heart Church was opened. In 1912 regular Masses were started in the Camelon Co-operative Hall and in 1918 a temporary building was acquired at the Hedges, Camelon where ground for a new church was also purchased. The building was completed in 1923, with Father John McKee as its first priest. In 1931 Cardinal Bourne of Westminster came to Falkirk to officially open a new Carmelite Monastery in Arnothill. In 1933 Larbert was established as a mission separate from Falkirk with Father Joseph Byrne from Winchburgh as its first priest Reference Date Brief Description Code A874.001 1936 Photocopy of newsletter .

2010 Air Quality Progress Report for Falkirk Council
2010 Air Quality Progress Report for Falkirk Council. In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management July 2010 Falkirk Council - Scotland July 2010 Local Jon Flitney Authority Officer Department Environmental Health Address Abbotsford House, David’s Loan, Falkirk, FK2 7YZ. Telephone 01324 504950 e-mail [email protected] Report Progress Report 2010 Reference Date July 2010 2 Progress Report - 2010 Falkirk Council - Scotland July 2010 Executive Summary A review of the Council’s monitoring data for 2009 shows that the 15-minute objective continues to be breached in the Grangemouth AQMA. In 2009 the Grangemouth Moray site recorded 65 exceedances. This is greater than the 35 allowed by the objective. All SO 2 monitors outside the AQMA met the 15-minute objective, with all sites meeting the hourly and daily SO 2 objectives. A breach of the 2010 annual PM 10 objective was recorded at the Falkirk West Bridge St site in 2009. This result will be used in the Falkirk Town Centre Further Assessment. Therefore the Council will wait for this report to be completed before considering whether to adjust the current AQMA. Since the 2009 USA the Council has declared three AQMAs for NO 2, two are in Falkirk Town Centre and one in the Haggs and Banknock area. In addition, the Banknock area near Cowdenhill Quarry remains subject to a Detailed Assessment for PM 10 . An Action Plan update for the Grangemouth AQMA is given. The Council continues to work on the measures outlined in the plan. In addition, a statement by INEOS about their tail gas treatment and other SO 2 emission reduction work is also included in this report.

Objects: Object 9 ½
A History of Falkirk in 10 ½ Objects: Object 9 ½ Irn-Bru Geoff B Bailey Irn-Bru is a very good example of the modern consumer society and the power of marketing. The vivid orange liquid with an international reputation consists of a delicate balance of ingredients which over time breaks down – if it is not consumed first - and so is difficult to preserve. We have to be content with its containers – bottles and cans – and that is why this counts as only half of an object. Introductory Film : Irn Bru The formula for Iron Brew was concocted in Falkirk by Robert Barr and his associates at the very end of the nineteenth century and the earliest advert that we have for it appeared in the Falkirk Cookery Book in 1900. Illus: 1900 advert for Iron Brew. Artificial mineral waters were seen as healthy in the first half of the nineteenth century and were made by firms such as Schweppe’s in London. They consisted simply of water and sugar impregnated with carbon dioxide under pressure and flavoured with a syrup to provide colour and to make them more palatable. In this guise they also became known as aerated water, lemonade, pop, ginger and soft drink. The first aerated water works in Scotland were in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and it was not until the 1860s that the trend of establishing works in the smaller towns began. One of these pioneers was Gilbert Rae of Penicuik who moved his works to Dunfermline in 1868, later establishing depots at Falkirk, Alloa and Portobello.
