  • Simon Roberts Pierdom
    SIMON ROBERTS PIERDOM 10 September - 12 October 2013 Private View Tuesday 10 September 6 - 8pm Flowers Gallery 82 Kingsland Road London E2 8DP +44 (0)20 7920 7777 Teignmouth Grand Pier, Devon, July 2011, Fujicolour Crystal Archive Print, 122 x 152 cm / 48 x 60 inch British photographer Simon Roberts has spent the past three years creating Pierdom, a comprehensive survey of Britain’s piers. Predominantly constructed during the 19th Century in the context of expanding Victorian seaside resorts and railways, these structures were often erected as landing docks for pleasure steamers and other sea craft. Growing to accommodate the needs of day-trippers escaping the smog of the city, engineers began to incorporate bandstands, cafes and music halls into their designs, embracing the growing notion of ‘pleasure seeking’ by the seaside. Pierdom addresses the historical significance of these architectural structures placed in comparison with their modern interpretation and functionality. Roberts’ photographs of ruinous piers such as Birnbeck Pier (2012) are in contrast with those such as Ryde Pier (2012) in which the local community and everyday usage of the landscape is represented by a skate boarding park which dominates the composition. It is this socio-cultural element of the landscape that has sustained Roberts’ interest, revealing a deep fascination with the way humans interact with their environment, and in eccentric British pastimes. At the turn of the century the British coastline boasted over 100 piers, some modest and functional, others elegant, exotic Victorian structures thrusting out into the sea. Now under half remain, the others destroyed by fierce weather and fires, with many dismantled during the 2nd World War to prevent German landings.

  • Rails by the Sea.Pdf
    1 RAILS BY THE SEA 2 RAILS BY THE SEA In what ways was the development of the seaside miniature railway influenced by the seaside spectacle and individual endeavour from 1900 until the present day? Dr. Marcus George Rooks, BDS (U. Wales). Primary FDSRCS(Eng) MA By Research and Independent Study. University of York Department of History September 2012 3 Abstract Little academic research has been undertaken concerning Seaside Miniature Railways as they fall outside more traditional subjects such as standard gauge and narrow gauge railway history and development. This dissertation is the first academic study on the subject and draws together aspects of miniature railways, fairground and leisure culture. It examines their history from their inception within the newly developing fairground culture of the United States towards the end of the 19th. century and their subsequent establishment and development within the UK. The development of the seaside and fairground spectacular were the catalysts for the establishment of the SMR in the UK. Their development was largely due to two individuals, W. Bassett-Lowke and Henry Greenly who realized their potential and the need to ally them with a suitable site such as the seaside resort. Without their input there is no doubt that SMRs would not have developed as they did. When they withdrew from the culture subsequent development was firmly in the hands of a number of individual entrepreneurs. Although embedded in the fairground culture they were not totally reliant on it which allowed them to flourish within the seaside resort even though the traditional fairground was in decline.

    Attractions in Staffordshire The border between Stafordshire and Derbyshire is the River Dove so only a few hundred yards awa. It runs north to south. Below is a modified copy of the index to the folder normally found in the cottages full of 40 leaflets of attractions in Staffordshire . I have deleted some of the listings in the index as I consider it is unlikely they will be opening by the time of your stay, but others that are for time being closed, I have kept in as I am guessing there is a chance they might open up. Some of the attractions have been open throughout the lockdown (eg Manifold Valley, others are opening up in July and I have indicated those whose administrators have given no indication of when they are opening up. I have also added the web site details in view of their being no leaflets as such in the cottage. I have also removed listings of some leaflets that are generic. 1) Manifold Valley Visitor Centre 3 minutes drive time away; well recommended www.derbyshire-peakdistrict.co.uk/manifoldvalleyvisitorcentre.htm 2) Manifold Valley 2k away www.cressbrook.co.uk/features/manifold.php 3) Peak Wildlife park (18 minutes) open www.peakwildlifepark.co.uk 4) Kingsley Bird and Falconry Centre –only open for booked experiences, that’s always the case, but not open at moment. http://kingsleyfalconry.co.uk/ 5) Leek Architectural Trail (Leek is not fancy but architecturally decidedly interesting!) 6) Nicholson Museum and Art Gallery (in Leek) 7) Brindley Mill (far side of Leek) – closed www.brindleysmill.co.uk/ 8) Churnet Valley

  • England Coast Path Aust to Brean Down Report 7
    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Aust to Brean Down Report ABD 7: Huckers Bow to Birnbeck Pier Part 7.1: Introduction Start Point: Huckers Bow (grid reference: ST 3473 6620) End Point: Birnbeck Pier (grid reference: ST 3101 6252) Relevant Maps: ABD 7a to ABD 7f 7.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Aust and Brean Down. 7.1.2 This report covers length ABD 7 of the stretch, which is the coast between Huckers Bow and Birnbeck Pier. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 7.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
