Meetings in West Cornwall (vice-county 1) will be targeting sites of rare species where these have not been seen recently. Sunday 20th July - LANDULPH and CARGREEN – SX46. A walk alongside the Tamar estuary in SX4361 and SX4362 at Cargreen and Landulph, adding records to the 1km squares and searching for Sea Spleenwort (Asplenium marinum), and to check an old Brittle Bladder-fern (Cystopteris fragilis) record (could it have been C. diaphana?). Meet at Cargreen car park SX43566267. Tuesday 22nd July - GOSS MOOR and ST DENNIS JUNCTION - SW95 and SW96. Walk around part of Goss Moor NNR with wetland habitats, ponds and scrub. Species to look out for include Pillwort (Pilularia globulifera), Wavy St John’s-wort (Hypericum undulatum), Bladderwort (Utricularia australis) and Marsh Lousewort (Pedicularis palustris) and to try and locate previously recorded hybrids between Greater, Water, Field and Marsh Horsetail. Also a revisit to an on old railway junction area which has been good for a range of native and non-native species in the past. Meet at car park at Domellick, SW94205871. Wellies advised. Sunday 3rd August - RED MOOR - SX06. A walk around old tin-streaming areas with wetland habitats, ponds and scrub, and also a look at the granite tor of Helman Tor for Tunbridge Filmy-fern (Hymenophyllum tunbrigense). Meet at Helman Tor car park SX06206139. Wellies advised. Wednesday 10th September – BROWNGELLY DOWNS and PARK PIT old China clay works, BODMIN MOOR – SX17. Recording in under-recorded 1km squares SX1972 and SX2072, with a visit to Park Pit for Marsh Clubmoss (Lycopodiella inundata) and Stag’s-horn Clubmoss (Lycopodium clavatum). Meet at entrance to Park Pit SX18547125 (on the road north east of Colliford Dam). Wellies advised. BOOKING ESSENTIAL as we will be going into SWW property and they need a list of attendees prior to the visit. Tuesday 16th September - SIBLYBACK LAKE (RESERVOIR), BODMIN MOOR – SX27. Recording in under-recorded 1km squares SX2271, SX2371 and SX2471, with a walk around the reservoir and a chance to check the site of Beech Fern (Phegopteris connectilis) on Craddock Moor.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

  • Jack Clemo 1916-55: the Rise and Fall of the 'Clay Phoenix'
    1 Jack Clemo 1916-55: The Rise and Fall of the ‘Clay Phoenix’ Submitted by Luke Thompson to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English In September 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 2 Abstract Jack Clemo was a poet, novelist, autobiographer, short story writer and Christian witness, whose life spanned much of the twentieth century (1916- 1994). He composed some of the most extraordinary landscape poetry of the twentieth century, much of it set in his native China Clay mining region around St Austell in Cornwall, where he lived for the majority of his life. Clemo’s upbringing was one of privation and poverty and he was famously deaf and blind for much of his adult life. In spite of Clemo’s popularity as a poet, there has been very little written about him, and his confessional self-interpretation in his autobiographical works has remained unchallenged. This thesis looks at Clemo’s life and writing until the mid-1950s, holding the vast, newly available and (to date) unstudied archive of manuscripts up against the published material and exploring the contrary narratives of progressive disease and literary development and success.

  • Memories of Mid Cornwall Hamlets 1920-1945 and Beyond Front Cover
    Memories of Mid Cornwall Hamlets 1920-1945 and Beyond by Mr. J. Liddicoat Reproduced by kind permission of Mr. Kenneth Liddicoat MEMORIES OF MID CORNWALL HAMLETS 1920 - 1945 and BEYOND by Mr. J. Liddicoat CHAPTER I HOME LIFE IN THE HAMLETS The tiny hamlets of Gothers and Enniscaven saw many changes both in village life and industry during the period from 1920 until the end of the Second World War in 1945. The housewife and mother of the Twenties had a harder working life than any period since, no modern aids and nearly all manual work. The floors were just smooth finish concrete with perhaps a piece of coconut matting in front of the black stove used for cooking. The stove was manufactured within the area comprising of a fireplace and underneath this an ashes box. Adjoining the fire was the oven, about the size of a modern electric stove oven. A damper was fitted to divert the heat around the oven when needed for cooking before returning to the chimney. Some stoves had a fitted smoke-jack. This enabled the top of the fire section to be used as an open fire. Those not fitted with this appliance needed a blacksmith-made smoke-jack that fitted over the fire and connected to the flue above. The ladies took great pride in keeping the stove clean, some stoves had a smooth finish and others were rougher. The stylish ones were fitted with brass knobs and hinges on the oven door, all cleaned weekly with Brasso and the body of the stove with black-lead.

    The Belowda Beacon Clayworkillgs ­ Two Forgotten Pits John Tonkin Parish: Roche Mineral Lord: Viscount Falmouth Ordnance Survey Sheets, 1/2500: xxxiii-14 (1880 & 1905) or SW9662-9762 (1977) Belovely Pit: was working by 1856 & the equipment was sold off in 1877 @ N.G. co-ords: 196725E, 062700 N. BeJowda Pit: was looked at in 1906, started by 1912 & closed in 1924 @ N.G. co-ords: 196750E, 062600 N. Introduction: In the years before the Second World War, the older people in the district used to call the little hamlet that nestles under Belowda Beacon, just where the ground begins to rise off the Goss Moor towards the summit, "Belovely village." Originally this was a mining settlement sited mid-way along the wide, north-dipping, stanniferous elvan which outcrops from Brynn Mine in the East to Old Castle-an-Dinas and Black Acre. It has been traced for over three miles and was notable for yielding pseudomorphs of cassiterite after felspar and for the amount of minute topazes found in the stamped sand. On the southern flank, but near the crest of the ridge, still stands the beam engine house belonging to Belowda Beacon Mine. Looking for tin, this explored a couple of quartz­ tourmaline lodes that carried some cassiterite, a little wolfram and were famous for yielding some fine pseudomorphs of both cassiterite and tourmaline after felspar. Much of the schorl was extremely course. The country rock is mostly granite, none of which could be described as "fresh". The area was scratched over, off and on, for many years, notably by the East Cornwall Mining Association between 1833 and 1842 1 mostly by open cuts.
