  • The Hidation of Buckinghamshire. Keith Bailey
    THE HIDA TION OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE KEITH BAILEY In a pioneering paper Mr Bailey here subjects the Domesday data on the hidation of Buckinghamshire to a searching statistical analysis, using techniques never before applied to this county. His aim is not explain the hide, but to lay a foundation on which an explanation may be built; to isolate what is truly exceptional and therefore calls for further study. Although he disclaims any intention of going beyond analysis, his paper will surely advance our understanding of a very important feature of early English society. Part 1: Domesday Book 'What was the hide?' F. W. Maitland, in posing purposes for which it may be asked shows just 'this dreary old question' in his seminal study of how difficult it is to reach a consensus.

  • Feasibility Study Into Public Transportation Options for Widening Access to the Ouse Washes - Final Report
    Feasibility Study into Public Transportation Options for Widening Access to the Ouse Washes - Final Report Peter J Bates Senior Partner pjb Associates January 2017 [email protected] Feasibility Study into Public Transportation Options for Widening Access to the Ouse Washes Executive Summary This project has aimed to be a catalyst to stimulate the development of new and better integrated public transport solutions for the Ouse Washes and the surrounding areas - that will specifically to encourage tourism opportunities. It has explored the feasibility and sustainability of various public transport options that could be developed by third party organisations and identified what options are most likely to be sustainable and where the risk involved is likely to be at low enough level for an option to be implemented. Although the study has focused upon options for utilising better integrated public transport – that create and encourage new tourism opportunities, it has had to take into account the existing and somewhat limited public transport options that currently serve the local population and the fact that the attractiveness of Ouse Washes Landscape tends to be spread out over a large area with few focal points that attract significant visitors. Therefore, the options suggested have focused on visitor attractions that don’t have any public transport option at all, at present. It has suggested ways for creating flexibility with new public transport options. The study has drawn upon the results of a survey of visitors who attended various events during OuseFest in August 2016. However, it is recognised that there were some limitations with this survey – as most people attending the events did tend to live locally, already had their own car and most people were over 55 years old which was not representative of the population as a whole.

  • RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 Foreword
    locafenvironment agency plan RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 Foreword The integrated management of the environment is a fundamental philosophy for the Environment Agency with Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs) taking a key role in this approach. The River Teign Catchment covers a popular area of Devon including part of Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon Heritage Coast. The towns of Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and Torquay are important economic and tourist centres and it is important that the assets of the catchment are maintained and protected both now and for future generations to enjoy. It is vital that the needs of all uses of the area, including flora and fauna, are balanced to ensure continued protection of these precious assets. This Action Plan epitomises the Agency's commitment to protect and where necessary enhance the environment through the Agency's own actions or in association with other organisations. We are very grateful for the contributions made during the consultation period and are convinced that they represent the spirit of partnership that will be required to implement the plan.

  • The Descendants of John Robblee, Loyalist, and His
    The Descendants of John Robblee, Loyalist, and his wife Susannah Baker of Dutchess Co., NY & Nova Scotia Compiled by Cindy Walcott <cwalcott141 at gmail dot com) Fall 2018 The original research on the Canadian Robblees was done by Bob Robblee. I well remember the day that the phone rang in my Vermont home – more than 25 years ago? And it was Bob, a new-found cousin. We had a great conversation, which led to a collaboration over many years. I owe a debt of gratitude to Bob, who generously shared his research with me. I have worked to expand it, including adding newly available sources over the years. But truly, the credit goes to him. The Canadian Robblees are descended from the Loyalist branch of the family. John Robblee and his brother Thomas settled in Nova Scotia when they found themselves no longer welcome in the colonies. The family stayed in the Maritimes for many years, but eventually some branches found their way to the Canadian West, and some back to the US, where their ship-building and sailing expertise were but to good use in the Boston area. Most of the modern-day Robblees are of this family. Some of the family did adopt the spelling Roblee. I would ask that anyone using this report not turn “speculation” into “fact” when using the data for his or her own purposes. I welcome any questions, criticisms, confirmations, rebuttals, etc. My interest is in placing all of the individuals in their own families, locations and historical context. Conventions used: A date with “est” in front of it is, in fact, an estimate.

  • The Articulation of a Pro-Rural and Anti-Urban Ideology in the Youth
    “Pavements grey of the imprisoning city”: the articulation of a pro-rural and anti-urban ideology in the Youth Hostels Association (YHA) in the 1930s1 Michael Cunningham University of Wolverhampton, UK Abstract The YHA was a self-professed non-political organisation that promoted the provision of cheap accommodation for walkers and cyclists. Despite this non-political stance, the literature of the YHA in the 1930s reveals a consistent pro-rural and anti-urban ideology. This article examines the articulation of this ideology and locates it both within a longer tradition of such sentiments in England and also within the social and cultural concerns of the decade. Keywords Youth hostels, ideology, walking, rambling, ruralism, urbanism Introduction Since at least the Romantic period of the late eighteenth century, there has been a strong ideological strand in England of pro-ruralism and anti-urbanism, the cultural and literary manifestation of which has been detailed in Raymond Williams’ The Country and the City.2 This ideology involves a somewhat diffuse and amorphous set of ideas and sentiments linked by the belief that the countryside or rural life is in some way ‘better’ than the city: the former Corresponding Author: Michael Cunningham, Faculty of Social Sciences, Millennium Building, City Campus South, University of Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton, WV1 1LY Email: m.cunningham @wlv.ac.uk embodies or represents the ‘true’ or ‘real’ England while the latter is artificial; the rural embodies spiritual qualities while the city represents materialism or degeneracy; the countryside has an aesthetic superiority. Obviously, these are generalisations and the specific content of the ideology varies over time and with the groups or individuals articulating it.
