  • River Brue's Historic Bridges by David Jury
    River Brue’s Historic Bridges By David Jury The River Brue’s Historic Bridges In his book "Bridges of Britain" Geoffrey Wright writes: "Most bridges are fascinating, many are beautiful, particularly those spanning rivers in naturally attractive settings. The graceful curves and rhythms of arches, the texture of stone, the cold hardness of iron, the stark simplicity of iron, form constant contrasts with the living fluidity of the water which flows beneath." I cannot add anything to that – it is exactly what I see and feel when walking the rivers of Somerset and discover such a bridge. From source to sea there are 58 bridges that span the River Brue, they range from the simple plank bridge to the enormity of the structures that carry the M5 Motorway. This article will look at the history behind some of those bridges. From the river’s source the first bridge of note is Church Bridge in South Brewham, with it’s downstream arch straddling the river between two buildings. Figure 1 - Church Bridge South Brewham The existing bridge is circa 18th century but there was a bridge recorded here in 1258. Reaching Bruton, we find Church Bridge described by John Leland in 1525 as the " Est Bridge of 3 Archys of Stone", so not dissimilar to what we have today, but in 1757 the bridge was much narrower “barely wide enough for a carriage” and was widened on the east side sometime in the early part of the 19th century. Figure 2 - Church Bridge Bruton Close by we find that wonderful medieval Bow Bridge or Packhorse Bridge constructed in the 15th century with its graceful slightly pointed chamfered arch.

  • The Hydrological Studies for the Avalon Lakes Scheme
    Jïwfriofogy of Natural and Manmade Lakes (Proceedings of the Vienna Symposium, August 1991). IAHS Publ. no. 206,1991. The hydrological studies for the Avalon Lakes scheme A. T. NEWMAN National Rivers Authority, Wessex Region, UK P. J. HAWKER Sir William Halcrow & Partners, UK S. M. POSTLE Global Atmosphere Division, Department of the Environment, UK ABSTRACT The Counties of Somerset and Avon in south-west England contain 635 km2 of land below the level of the highest tides in the adjacent Bristol Channel, but protected from them. Some 13 km2 of these wetlands are being excavated of peat for horticultural use. The residual depressions of the land are in coherent blocks of up to 3m deep, and close to a river system with available water resources for a pumped storage scheme. The Avalon Lakes project was perceived as an opportunity to harness these resources for public water supplies, by using a series of peat excavations surrounded by clay bunds. The bunds would be constructed specifically in order to transform the former peat workings into shallow lakes. Hydrological examination of the yield of such a scheme was complicated by a number of factors peculiar to the site. Principal amongst these was the nature of land management in the wetlands, which relies upon numerous river offtakes for distribution of water between the fields of the surrounding valley. Other factors were the water retention characteristics of the underlying clays, and the need for rigorous attention to environmental constraints which governed reservoir area and storage potential. Investigations of the feasibility of the scheme included pilot scale experiments using on-site lagoons to test both leakage rates and water quality.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform theirdecision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The informationthey contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
