    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

  • Huddersfield (Town Centre and University) to Holmfirth (Town Centre)
    Holmfirth Transitional Town Proposed Cycle Route – Huddersfield (town centre and university) to Holmfirth (town centre). The proposal seeks to create, as far as possible, an off road cycle path between the town centres of Huddersfield and Holmfirth, together with link paths from other significant Holme Valley settlements, notably Honley, Brockholes, Netherthong, New Mill and Wooldale. In addition to these settlements there are a number of other significant workplace and school destinations linked to or on the proposed route, notably Thongsbridge, Armitage Bridge, Lockwood, Folly Hall, Kirklees College, and Honley and Holmfirth High Schools Where an off road path is not considered to be achievable, the proposed route utilises the road network, with appropriate amendments and improvements to create a safe cycling environment. The existing and proposed routes are described below in clearly identifiable sections. Existing routes include some off road paths which are usable and used currently for cycling, and which will become part of the complete route, subject to any necessary improvements. Where off road paths connect to the road network, and for on road elements of the route, improvements to create a safe cycling environment are proposed. The route sections 1. Huddersfield town centre, within the ring road 2. Ring Road to Lockwood 3. Lockwood to Berry Brow 4. Berry Brow to Honley 5. Honley to Thongsbridge 6. Thongsbridge to Holmfirth 1. Huddersfield town centre – within the ring road The town centre is generally regarded as a relatively safe cycling environment. Traffic levels have been reduced by the introduction of bus gates, and speeds are relatively low. Some cycling infrastructure has been provided and there are some signed routes and safe ring road crossings, however provision is piecemeal and further improvements are required.

  • HOLMFIRTH CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL Appendix K Historical
    HOLMFIRTH CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL Appendix K Historical, Social and Economic Development HISTORICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Historical and Social Development The landscape, history and social development of Holmfirth has determined the nature, scale and characteristics of its buildings within the HCA. The landscape comprises a narrow valley set within steep hillsides extending up to desolate moorland. There is evidence, from flints unearthed locally at Cooks Study, of community living in the Stone Age and evidence from ancient hearths in Hagg Wood, of occupation by the Romano-British in the hills around Holmfirth. The Scandanavians, who invaded around 500AD, also settled in the high ground and many of the local village names derive from Norse and Danish. In 1066 the land at Holne was owned by a wealthy thane known as Dunstan who is thought to have gathered troups locally to fight the Norman invasion. Before the Norman Conquest the area was known as Holne, and in Saxon and Medieval times the Lords of Wakefield used the area as a hunting forest, hence the name Holnfrith meaning, ‘sparse woodland belonging to Holne’, later becoming Holmfirth. The name is first mentioned in script in 1324 when a Bailiff of Holmfirth was recorded in historic documents and by 1379 Holmfirth was mentioned in the Subsidy Rolls, where tax was collected and paid to the King. Holmfirth is not mentioned in the Domesday Book, as it developed later as a settlement than the surrounding villages, due to the steep-sided valley, the marshy valley bottom, and the lack of level drained land for farming.
