A derrick was then erected, made from scaffolding poles with wire stays, and a hand crancked winch which hoisted the custom built kibble, made previously during S wet wintier.

The mine is accessed via a narrow cleft in the Odin Gorge, the mffit expedient method beinf to climb the rominent tree trunk in the cleit. A 10' fixed ladder ives direc access to the 1ittle Shart Vein. The mine is typical Peak District, 7.8. muddy, and due to its antiquity only the minimum or non ore Ling Iaaterial has been removed making the workings compact.

At the top of the step the level continJ downward and across a 70' deep hole which was carefully CrOSsed, until the itch was reached. The descent was a mere 30 down the vein which is only about 7 P" wide at this oint, and not vertical, so it would have been difficult to fall even if you'd wan& to.

The recent spell of glorious weather prompts thoughts about the impact of climate on history. The great threat to local communities before modern times was harvest failure. Crisis mortality rates were often the result, not just of outbreaks of deadly disease; and the two sometimes combined. Cattle droving was fundamentally affected by climate, only getting underway sometime from mid-April once grass growth removed the need to use hay as fodder. Bees have rarely had such a good start as this year to their foraging season, reminding us of the significance of honey as the major sweetener before sugar became widely used. Cane sugar was first grown by the Portuguese in Brazil during the 16th century but entered the British market from the Caribbean only from 1650. Not until well beyond 1700 was it cheap enough to rival honey. The numerous bee boles and other shelters for straw skeps (hives) in Cumbria pay tribute to the care with which bees were kept. Beekeeping was no mere pastime but an activity of considerable economic significance.

    Cumbrian Railways Journal of the Cumbrian Railways Association Index to content of Volumes 1 to 5, 1976 to 1996 This index is a index of titles and general content of the CRA Journal, not a detailed reference index. It is divided into a number of sections: Articles Notes, Letters, Notices, etc. CRA Activities and Events Photographs CRA Members and Friends Reviews Drawings and Graphic Images The distinction between Articles and Notes, etc. is very subjective, largely based on length. Many articles will have been followed in subsequent journals by notes and letters, generally listed under similar titles. Apologies that items under the Notes, etc. heading are not fully sorted. This is, however, a temporary listing which will eventually be replaced by an index running up at least up to the end of Volume 8. Page References Note that volumes 1 to 3 have pages numbered from ‘1’ for each issue. References are therefore given in the form of ‘2/10, 7’ which interprets as Volume 2, issue No 10, page 7. From the commencement of Volume 4 pages are numbered consecutively through the volume so references can be simplified to ‘4, 112-5’ – Volume 4, pages 112 to 115.

  • The Making of a Cultural Landscape: the English Lake District As Tourist Destination, 1750-2010

Wood eds. The Origins and Development of Mountaineering and Rock Climbing Tourism in the Lake District, c.1800-1914. Jonathan Westaway The Lake District has played a central role in the development of the sport of rock climbing in the British Isles, the late Nineteenth Century witnessing increasingly athletic and gymnastic approaches to the crags and fells of the Lake District. Climbing as we know it today emerged as a sub-cultural development, gradually establishing the legitimacy of an increasingly sporting approach to mountains, changing as it did so the accepted notions of what it meant to be a mountaineer. Despite the accumulated Romantic and literary reputations of the Lake District landscape, mountaineering in the Lake District was slow to emerge, the cultural significance of the Lake District landscape to mountaineers remaining for most of the Nineteenth Century, if not entirely negligible, then certainly subordinate. Why this should be so forms the basis of the first part of this chapter, focussing on the cultural significance of mountains in a European context and the pre-eminence of Alpine mountain landscapes as tourist destinations amongst the bourgeoisie. The élite tourist focus on “being elsewhere”1, on social distancing, exclusive locations and internalized notions of Romantic individualism and self- cultivation meant that Alpine mountain landscapes emerged as the locus of the British middle classes fascination with mountaineering in the middle of the Nineteenth Century.
