  • Making a Canal Nelson's Victory at Trafalgar May Have Given Britain
    Talk 4: Making a Canal Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar may have given Britain sea superiority, but it hardly affected Napoleon’s military position in continental Europe. Five years on and the Emperor could still marshal an army of half a million men for an invasion of Russia, but there he met with unparalleled defeat. After Borodino the largest and bloodiest battle of the Napoleonic wars, the invasion faltered and then turned into a terrible retreat. As snippets of news about the retreat from Moscow reached London Sir Thomas Bernard and Colonel John Drinkwater attended a small ceremony in Regents Park. We might imagine each man turned over a little soil before handing the spade to someone more adept in its use. Perhaps a few proprietors watched the event, wondering how long it would be before they could attend another ceremony, this time to celebrate the completion of the project in which they had invested. And also speculating as to how they might be affected by the demise of Napoleon. Anyone taking a cursory look at a map on which the line of the Regents Canal had been drawn might think construction would be as simple as digging the Grand Junction branch canal, but closer inspection of a cross sectional drawing showed it would be far more complicated. For a start three tunnels were needed. One was hardly bigger than a wide bridge, but the other two, the first at Maida Hill and the second at Islington, were substantial undertakings. Then there was the fall from Paddington to Limehouse, 86 feet in all, which would demand the construction of 12 locks.

Ref.: 3929/15 Applicant: Iarnród Éireann Planning Authority Decision: Refuse Permission Planning Appeal Appellant(s): Iarnród Éireann Type of Appeal: First Party Observers: None Date of Site Inspection: 4th of May 2016 Inspector: Angela Brereton PL29S.246098 An Bord Pleanála Page 1 of 12 1.0 SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The property is located and accessed in the Irish Rail yard at Inchicore. This is to the west of the residential area of Inchicore Terrace South and accessed via Inchicore Parade at the end of St. Patrick’s Terrace. The railway line runs to the north of the site. The Plans submitted show the small area of the building in the context of the other buildings within the Inchicore Works Compound and as shown on the land ownership map. While there are many older more historic buildings within the landholding, there are also some more recently built. The Iarnród Éireann site is fully operational and has a security gated entrance and on-site parking. This is a detached stone/timber/slate building and there are two main rooms with connecting hallway. This small building is now cordoned off with security barriers and does not appear to be operational. It is adjacent to a pond area which also provides a water supply in case of fire.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • Fosbr Newsletter Number 98 October 2018
    FoSBR Newsletter Number 104 November 2020 (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways) Another newsletter published during a lockdown... As in the earlier part of this year, the government is advising that people should now stay at home and only make essential journeys, avoiding public transport. During this lockdown, Great Western services have remained unchanged and not reduced - this is welcome. We hope that, as things ease and people start to venture out again, journeys should be relatively low risk - because social distancing remains easy on trains that continue to have low passenger numbers. However, as suspected, the Treasury is now getting anxious about the cost of running largely empty trains and is demanding cuts to services. At the beginning of November, trains only carried 31% of the passengers as at the same time last year and there is concern now that possibly one-fifth of commuters will stay away from rail travel indefinitely. The Times (on 10 November) says "The Department of Transport has told [train] companies to submit plans to make railways more 'financially sustainable' while still providing enough capacity for Covid-safe travel. One rail industry source said that service levels could be reduced to about 80 or 85 percent of pre-pandemic levels". Despite this, we hope that the Government continues to invest in and champion the railway. In the longer term our rail services will need all the support they can get to ensure they don't just survive (in a world that could easily be one of limited funds) but grow - in order to tackle the climate emergency.
