ISSN 0417 0687 125 A SHORT LIFE OF I. CHARLES COX (by Canon Maudce Abbott, Ince Blundell Hall, Back O'Th Town Lane, Liverpool, L38 5JL) First impressions stay with us, they say; and ever since my school days when my parents took me with them on their frequent visits to old churches, I have maintained a constant interest in them. This became a lifelong pursuit on my 20th birthday, when my father gave me a copy of The Parish Churches ot' England by J. Charles Cox and Charles Bradley Ford. In his preface, written in March 1935, Mr Ford pointed out that Dr Cox's English Parish Church was lirsl published in 1914, and was the recognised handbook on its subiect. In time the book became out of print and it was felt that a revised edition would be appropriate, because Cox was somewhat discutsive in his writrng. The text was pruned and space made for the inclusion of a chapter on'Local Varieties in Design'. This was based on Cox's original notes on the subject and other sources. I found this book quite fascinating and as the years went by I began to purchase second-hand copies of Cox's works and eventually wanted to know more about the man himself. -

EDALE: A STUDY OF A PENNINE DALE.1 By C. B. FAWCETT, B.Litt., M.Sc. (With Sketch-Map and Figures.) THE dale marked on the large-scale maps of the High Peak District as the "Vale of Edale" is the high-lying valley along the south- eastern side of the Peak. From the heights above Dalehead to Edale End the valley stretches for nearly five miles in a line from west-south- west to east-north-east. In its widest parts the breadth from crest to crest reaches three miles ; but most of this is moorland, and the width of the habitable portion nowhere exceeds one mile, and averages little more than half that distance. The total area of the civil parish of Edale is eleven square miles, of which the greater part is uncultivated and uninhabited moorland. -

River Ashop & River Noe Silt Issues
www.WaterProjectsOnline.com Water Treatment & Supply River Ashop & River Noe Silt Issues improving the transfer of raw water to Bamford WTW in the Peak District by Tony Heaney BSc CEng MICE evern Trent Water treats 150Ml/d of raw water at Bamford WTW to provide potable water to large parts of the East Midlands. Raw water is also used to power turbines at Ladybower dam. Water for this plant is drawn from Sthree reservoirs - Ladybower, Derwent and Howden - supplied directly by the River Derwent catchment in the upper Derwent Valley. Water cascades into Derwent and Ladybower reservoirs from Howden. The water supply is of major strategic importance, and subsequent to a detailed review, the need for significant maintenance investment on the assets was identified. This project involved maintenance of the weirs and aqueducts to extend their life and to improve the transfer of raw water. River Noe extraction weir completion - Courtesy of NMCNomenca The reservoirs its natural course along the valley. As a result the level difference The Derwent and Howden Reservoirs were built in the early 20th between the aqueduct and the river increases downstream with century. To provide an additional source of water, flows from the the aqueduct supported at the top of a steep slope up to 20m high. River Ashop, above Ladybower, are diverted into the Derwent Reservoir via an aqueduct from a weir higher up the Ashop valley. Over time the river has eroded the bottom of the slope causing problems of stability and threatening the integrity of the structure. Ladybower Reservoir was constructed during the Second World War.
