    HERITAGE PLAN 2016-2020 PHOTO: Eoghan Lynch BANKS OF A CANAL by Seamus Heaney Say ‘canal’ and there’s that final vowel Towing silence with it, slowing time To a walking pace, a path, a whitewashed gleam Of dwellings at the skyline. World stands still. The stunted concrete mocks the classical. Water says, ‘My place here is in dream, In quiet good standing. Like a sleeping stream, Come rain or sullen shine I’m peaceable.’ Stretched to the horizon, placid ploughland, The sky not truly bright or overcast: I know that clay, the damp and dirt of it, The coolth along the bank, the grassy zest Of verges, the path not narrow but still straight Where soul could mind itself or stray beyond.

  • Canals Geography Primary Focus
    B B C Northern Ireland Learning Primary Focus Teacher's Notes KS 2 Programme 9: Canals Geography ABOUT THE UNIT In this geography unit of four programmes, we cover our local linen and textiles industries, Northern Ireland canals and water management. The unit has cross curricular links with science. BROADCAST DATES BBC2 12.10-12.30PM Programme Title Broadcast Date 7 Geography - Textile Industry 10 March 2003 8 Geography - Linen 17 March 2003 9 Geography - Canals 24 March 2003 10 Geography - Water 31 March 2003 PROGRAMME - CANALS LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of the programme pupils should be able to • describe the development of our inland waterways • identify why canals fell into disuse • describe why canals are being restored • describe modern-day uses of canals ABOUT THE PROGRAMME Jamie Darling goes out and about in the Ulster countryside to discover our forgotten canals. The story begins in the old Tyrone coalfi elds and Jamie traces the development of our inland waterway system, which was designed to carry local coal to Dublin and Belfast. Some Key Stage 2 pupils show Jamie around the Newry Inland Canal and Ship Canal. We learn about the heyday of the canals and some of the problems that beset them. We learn how the advent of the railways sounded the death-knell of our canals as viable commercial routes. Jamie explores the remains of the old Lagan and Coalisland Canals and fi nds that a section of the Lagan Canal between Sprucefi eld and Moira now lies under the M1 Motorway. We see work in progress at the Island site in Lisburn where an old canal lock is being restored.

  • Barge 1 Lagan Waterway and History
    LAGAN WATERWAY HISTORY Navigable waterways Prior to the advent of canals and railways in the 1700s and 1800s, packhorses and horses and carts or packhorse were the main means of moving stuff. Although Ireland has had a good road network since the 1600s, such roads were poorly surfaced and not always well maintained. The loads transported were thus limited by the hauling power of the horses and condition of the roads. Bulky, low-value goods such as coal, building materials and grain were particularly expensive to transport. Railways solved this problem, but only after the development of reliable steam locomotives in the mid-1800s. Before then, rivers were the cheapest way of moving large heavy loads where speed was not essential. Except for their tidal sections however, most rivers were not navigable for any great distance and the size of boats, and thus of the loads carried, was invariably limited by obstructions such as shallows, rapids and weirs. Navigations and canals Navigable waterways are of two types – navigations and canals. Navigations are existing natural watercourses whose navigability has been improved, whereas canals are entirely artificial channels excavated by hand and/or machine. The pros and cons of each type of waterway are as follows: For Against Navigations No major civil engineering works Prone to strong currents in winter and required so relatively cheap. lack of water in summer, both of which may make navigation temporarily impossible. [This was certainly the case on the Lagan] Summer water shortages are potentially exacerbated by demands of mill owners with prior rights to abstract water from the river.

  • Iwa Submission on the Environment Bill – Appendix A
    IWA SUBMISSION ON THE ENVIRONMENT BILL – APPENDIX A IWA VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PROPULSION ON THE INLAND WATERWAYS EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW 1. Recognising the UK Government’s strategy to reduce emissions from diesel and petrol engines, IWA formed its Sustainable Propulsion Group in 2019 to identify and monitor developments which will enable boats on the inland waterways to fully contribute to the Government’s stated aim of zero CO2 emissions by 2050. 2. The Group has identified a number potential solutions that it recommends should be progressed in order to ensure that boats used on the inland waterways do not get left behind in technological developments. These are outlined in more detail in this paper. 3. To ensure that the inland waterways continue to be sustainable for future generations, and continue to deliver benefits to society and the economy, IWA has concluded that national, devolved and local government should progress the following initiatives: Investment in infrastructure through the installation of 300 shore power mains connection charging sites across the connected inland waterways network. This would improve air quality by reducing the emissions from stoves for heating and engines run for charging batteries, as well as enabling a move towards more boats with electric propulsion. Working with navigation authorities, investment in a national dredging programme across the inland waterways to make propulsion more efficient. This will also have additional environmental benefits on water quality and increasing capacity for flood waters. Research and investment into the production, use and distribution of biofuels. This will be necessary to reduce the environmental impact of existing diesel engines which, given their longevity, will still be around until well after 2050.

Here in Bude we continue to agitate for the unnecessarily elusive completion to the canal regeneration which would enable boats of a decent size to pass under Rodds Bridge and having done so, to continue unobstructed into the canal basin at Helebridge through the beautiful old canal bridge which carries the old A39 over both canal and river within a few yards of each other; it's a by-way these days but still much used by walkers. Our ambition for a slipway to enable such boats to access the canal in the first place is part of the ongoing campaign to save the site of Stapleton's shipyard from random development by Cornwall Council and become instead, a valuable waterside base for the gig and canoe clubs and an asset to Bude and Bude people. After some very wild and wet weather the canal is very full of water but the birds are all down the Bude end.

  • Terms Applying Only to Narrowboats and the Canals
    TERMS APPLYING ONLY TO NARROWBOATS AND THE CANALS By Jeffrey Casciani-Wood A narrowboat or narrowboat is a boat of a distinctive design, built to fit the narrow canals of Great Britain. Wikipedia This glossary covers terms that apply only to narrowboats and their environs and is included because the author firmly believes that the marine surveyor, in order to do his job properly, needs to understand extensively the background and history of the vessel he is surveying. Abutment The supporting or retaining wall of a brick, concrete or masonry structure, particularly where it joins the item (e.g. bridge girder or arch) which it supports. Advanced Electronic means of managing the charge to the batteries from the Alternator engine's alternator(s). Ensures that the batteries are more fully charged Controller and can increase useful battery life. Aegre Tidal bore or wave which is set up by the first of a flood tide as it runs up the river Trent and the word is sometimes spelt Aegir. Air Draught The overall height of a vessel measured from the water line to the highest fixed part of the superstructure. Ait A small island in the upper reaches of the river Thames and the word is sometimes spelt eyot. Anærobes Micro organisms, many exceedingly dangerous to human health, that live in the absence of free oxygen and often to be found in the condensate water settled at the bottom of diesel fuel tanks. Care is required when bleeding a fuel/water separator or when cleaning out fuel tank as their presence can lead to fuel oil problems.

  • A Brief History of the Importance of Bude Sand and Its Resulting Construction of the Bude Canal with This Section Relating to the Bude Aqueduct
    A brief history of the importance of Bude sand and its resulting construction of the Bude Canal with this section relating to the Bude Aqueduct. Due to the heavy, wet and cold acid condition of the soil on the Atlantic side of North Cornwall and Devon, much of the area was looked upon as extremely poor pasture land. However, as early as the 14th century, land within the grounds of Tavistock Abbey had been enriched with the high level of calcium rich sand from Widemouth Bay which had been transported by pack mules. In many areas where possible, burnt lime was being used to similar effect in the mid 1790s but Bude sand was being used locally in the mid 1700s. Although the sand was available free of charge, loading and transport costs increased with the distance and with the poor condition of the road network this was still being done by pack mules. By the 1770s road conditions improved sufficiently to accommodate wheeled transport but the increased levels of traffic soon caused concern among locals with the associated increase in wear and tear. 1774 The first proposal for a canal was put forward by John Edyvean with Edmond Leach and John Box surveying a possible route. All three presented evidence to the House of Lords Committee and the subsequent th Act received Royal Assent on 24 May, 1774. 1777 John Smeaton estimated the costs as £119,201 and raised an alternative plan to reduce the costs but neither scheme was started. 1785 An attempt was made by Edmond Leach to revive the canal project by introducing some new ideas based on John Smeaton’s report.
