An Audit of Historic Sources in English Archives Relating to the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 2010 Audit of Archived Historic Sources relating to the AONB An Audit of Historic Sources in English Archives relating to the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty January 2010 Overview This audit was commissioned as part of the 50 th Anniversary of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It is designed for more advanced research enthusiasts and professionals. The audit identifies and lists the locations of various bodies of material which relate to the history of the AONB. Local sources in summary There are several main sources for the parishes in the South Hams AONB. Devon Record Office contains material for the east of the area, whereas the western side is mainly held at the Plymouth and West Devon Record Office. Some areas are also covered by local museums such as the Brixham Heritage Museum which has a collection of photographs and documents. The Cookworthy Museum holdings appear to be principally prior to the 20 th century, although it has a collection of material on the 1 South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 2010 Audit of Archived Historic Sources relating to the AONB Women’s Land Army and the South Hams Evacuation. It also holds an incomplete collection of the Kingsbridge Gazette, but the full collection is housed at the British Library Newspaper Library at Colindale in London. The West Country Studies Library holds the Western Morning News, Express and Echo and the Totnes Times on Microfiche. Plymouth Central Library, adjoining the Plymouth Museum and Art Gallery, also has the Western Morning News and Express and Echo on Microfiche. Copies can be printed off at both locations for a small charge. The West Country Studies Library and the Plymouth Local Studies Library( in the Central Library) both hold many titles including unpublished manuscripts, academic theses, and more obscure articles eg on aspects of farming. Library holdings can be searched via their on-line catalogues. County Archives can be searched online via A2A, the access to archives site which lists holdings at major archives all over the country. Highlights of the Archive Audit. South Milton History Group has been informed about the enormous Elliot Collection at the Museum of English Rural Life at Reading University. This is a valuable resource as the collection covers several generations of the family, and there are diaries, letters and photographs. It would seem there was an Industrial School in Malborough (see Archive Audit 10). If this is true then it would be worth pursuing as there were fewer than ten in Britain, and only in industrial cities. They were set up in cities such as Plymouth in the late 19 th century to educate truants/ street children/ petty criminals or those whose parents were neglectful. It gave them a trade, usually domestic /gardening work or helped them to join the navy (in Plymouth). If Malborough really did have an Industrial School, then the underlying story would be fascinating. It implies that the village was pretty rough! Among the detailed items found in this initial audit are several with literary connections. These include Flora Thompson and Philip Larkin’s family, Certainly the Thompson collection of letters would be worth looking at further. As the holiday trade plays such an important part in the recent history of the South Hams, I have noted a few holiday snaps included in archives and a reference by the Brixham Medical Officer to the health problems associated with the holiday camp there! I think there is an opportunity for a lively book drawing on accounts of the rise of tourism in the area. This could include references to the Larkin family who stayed at Bigbury-on-Sea, contrasting with Noel Coward and other members of the ‘fast set’ who stayed at Burgh Island. There is also the story of the creation of the Lifeguard Service. There is a photo of an early lifeguard at Bantham – an Australian! (see Archive Audit 10). 2 South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 2010 Audit of Archived Historic Sources relating to the AONB Farming changes would be another area for exploration, but this would require a research trip to the Museum of English Rural Life at Reading University. I did track down the records of the Rabbit Clearance Societies and some detailed information on controlling pigeons! Sound archive appears to be poor. It is not a priority for the overworked staff at Devon Record Office. Although material exists, much of it is not available for research because it has not been copied (or in some cases even listened to). If money was available, it might be worth discussing a project to have material copied at the Wessex Film Archive which has the equipment to handle the fragile original material. BBC Radio Devon may have access to some sound archive, but I haven’t pursued that avenue. The British Library has an extensive sound archive, but the catalogue descriptions are not detailed enough to ascertain whether they are worth a trip to London, which is where the material has to be listened to. The impact of the two world wars on the landscape would be a fascinating study. The sale of farms and estates during and just after these conflicts is marked. Plymouth and West Devon Record Office has a huge number of sales catalogues, many with plans and photos. There were the VAD hospitals for the wounded (WW1) and the requisition of large houses and hotels etc in the run up to D Day. It would be a topic that could be done parish by parish and augmented by material from newspapers, and the National Monuments Register. There would also be material from the National Union of Agricultural and Allied Workers giving statistics of people working on the land, and of course the Women’s Land Army collection at the Cookworthy. There are some Home Guard Archives at Brixham and at Plymouth. Please note due to the amount of material there may be duplications particularly the orders for laying electricity cables, water mains and other utilities. Contacting the archives before you visit With all archives it is worth contacting them in advance to book in, and to check that the item exists! Things do disappear. Copyright is usually at the discretion of the archivist. Photocopying of some documents is not allowed if they are fragile, but a digital camera is a good alternative. Check that you are allowed to photograph; sometimes there is a small fee. You will be required to show some identity, and always use pencil. 3 South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty 2010 Audit of Archived Historic Sources relating to the AONB Contact details for archives referred to in this audit These were correct at the time of writing, January 2010.

  • May 2021.Cdr
    Parish Magazine Ashprington Cornworthy Dittisham May 2021 Away with the Fairies in 1917. My three year old granddaughter Lily loves fairy stories and so, apparently, did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. He totally believed in the Cottingley Fairies. In 1917 two talented cousins, Elsie Wright (16) and Frances Griffiths (9), borrowed their father's camera and went down through the bottom of the garden to Cottingley Beck, a stream near Bradford in Yorkshire. There Elsie took five photographs, beautifully composed, showing her cousin Frances watching with a rapt expression a group of fairy folk dancing in front of her. Other photographs showed fairies flying around and a gnome on the grass. The whole process took about half an hour. Such was the skill of the girls' composition that Elsie's mother believed that the little figures really were fairies. Her father, who developed the images, did not believe they were real and considered that the girls had used cardboard cut outs of fairies in the photographs. He refused to lend them his camera again. Elsie's mother Polly was a Theosophist. She went to a meeting in Bradford which happened to be about fairies. She told the president of the Harrogate Theosophists, Edward Gardner, about the photographs and he examined them. Having pronounced them genuine he later contacted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a well known Spiritualist, who was writing a piece on fairies for the 1920 Christmas edition of the Strand Magazine. Doyle was totally convinced that the images were real and asked permission to use them in his article.

  • Our Plan’, a New Strategic Plan for West Devon
    Shaping our communities to 2031 Regulation 19 Publication Version February 2015 West Devon - A Leading Rural Council Foreword Welcome to ‘Our Plan’, a new strategic plan for West Devon. Whilst the Core Strategy was a plan for future growth and development to take us from 2006 to 2026, since it was written planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and in conformity with this national policy. This new plan also has to cover a wider range of issues that go beyond traditional planning policy and it makes more sense to write a new plan rather than try and amend the existing ones. Therefore, ‘Our Plan’ will be the overarching strategic plan for the Borough of West Devon up to 2031. Developing a new plan is always challenging and it is often controversial with different sectors and individuals in our communities understandably seeing things from their own view point. However, we need to remember that we are planning for the communities of tomorrow not just for ourselves today. What we do now will have a significant impact on how people live their lives in West Devon in the future. Our biggest challenge is enabling growth and providing much needed homes and jobs whilst, at the same time, protecting the beautiful place that is West Devon - no mean feat as I’m sure you can appreciate. To do this we have gathered and considered evidence about local need and the views and comments shared by you and a wide range of partners during the process have helped us to shape a plan that we believe takes account of local needs and aspirations.

Recommendation: It is recommended that: (a) the responses to the proposed Traffic Regulation Order are noted; (b) the Traffic Regulation Order, as amended as detailed in section 5, be made, sealed and implemented. 1. Summary The purpose of this report is to consider the representations received during the Modbury Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) consultation. 2. Background/Introduction The TRO proposals for Modbury have been an aspiration of Modbury Parish Council for a number of years. Modbury Parish Council has received over the years a number of requests from residents and the local Fire Service regarding various parking and road safety issues within Modbury. These requests were drafted together to be included in one TRO. The final proposals were submitted to Devon County Council (DCC) to advertise. A TRO was advertised between 7 March and 28 March 2014. The consultation was extended to the end of April 2014 due to the amount of interest that was expressed and to enable residents to comment on the proposals if they wished to do so. During the consultation, DCC received 67 representations. 3. Proposal The proposals originally advertised, included: Poundwell Street to introduce no waiting at any time to prevent obstruction of private drives and garages and to allow access for emergency services and to prevent contravention of the ‘one way’.
