  • The Breretons of Cheshire, England
    The Breretons of Cheshire Page 1 of 68 The Breretons of Cheshire, England Researched and Written by Faye Brereton-Goodwin, Ontario, Canada [email protected] Copyright © Faye Brereton-Goodwin 2001 (February 2018 revision) The Breretons of Cheshire Page 2 of 68 This history is part of a larger 2002 document, titled ‘In Search of My Ancestors” which I dedicated to my father Albert Lionel (Bert) Brereton who served in the Navy, during the First World War and as a Sergeant in the 3rd Canadian Infantry, Princess Patricia's Regiment, during the Second World War. He returned to Canada in 1945, on a hospital ship and died when I was eight years of age. Unable to learn about my Brereton ancestors from my father or his parents over the years I searched for links to the past; at times travelling to Brereton sites. My journey has been both fun and rewarding. On our first trip to England, in 1993, my husband Bob and I visited Royal Leamington Spa in England and saw the home of my Great Aunt Ina Glass at 2 Clarendon Crescent (my Grandmother Brereton- Smallwood also resided there until her death at the age of 101 years). We also visited Brereton Hall in Cheshire, England and met with the owners of the property Mary and Derrick Creigh. For many years, under their ownership Brereton Hall had functioned as a private girl’s school. However, by the 1990’s much updating was needed to continue as a school and the decision was made to return the hall to its original function, as a private residence.

Conclusion Sources Appendix 1: Listed Building Description Ockleston Memorial, Heritage Statement, July 2014 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Robert Ockleston was a popular doctor in Cheadle; after he died in 1888 a subscription was raised to fund a water fountain to his memory, erected in Cheadle in 1889. The memorial was designed in gothic revival style by the Manchester architect Alfred Darbyshire, using Aberdeen granite, Mansfield limestone and Titancrete. The fountain was a multi-purpose structure that provided water for horses in troughs around the base, water fountains for local people and a lamp. It occupied a prominent position at the junction of Manchester Road and Stockport Road next to Cheadle Green until it was relocated in 1967 to a site to the east, on the edge of a new residential estate. Some changes were made to the fountain at unknown dates between 1889 and the early 20th century; a comparison of historic images shows that additional lamps were added, and most of the water fountains were removed.

  • HISTORY of STOCKPORT. Partly Obtained from Artesian Springs And
    HISTORY OF STOCKPORT. 275 partly obtained from Artesian springs and partly from the river Mersey. A water-wheel is 78 horse-power, and a steam-engine of 80 horse power, in conjunction, work a set of three double-acting pumps, eight inches in diameter, and raise the water from four Artesian wells, which are 140 yards deep. The water is then conveyed to the reservoir at Woodbank, where it is aJI double-filtered before supplied to the town. This reservoir covers lA. OB. 23P. of land, and is 140 feet above the level of the Park Mills, the water being chiefly used for the supply of the higher parts of the town. There is also a reservoir, covering about seven acres, near to Portwood, the water of which is obtained from the Mersey, at a bend of the river several miltls from Stockport, whence it is conveyed by tunnels into the reservoir. The water supplied to the inhabitants is clear and good, and abundant in quantity, and the com­ pany have the means of furnishing an additional supply almost to an unlimited extent. Messrs. Marslands are the propriet'Jrs of the works. The Mersey and the Tame flow in a channel of red sandstone, which riiles from five to ten yards, and in some places more, above the level of the river; wells, therefore, sunk by the inhabitants, aud situated at a low level, where the water filtrates through the red sandstone, are well supplied with good water; but • in all the districts of the town above that level, with few exceptions, good water is difficult to procure, the water above that level being merely surface or top water.

  • Consultation Paper Poor Relief – Proposed Repeals
    Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Poor Relief – Proposed Repeals SLR 03/09: Closing date for responses – 30 October 2009 BACKGROUND NOTES ON STATUTE LAW REPEALS (SLR) What is it? 1. Our SLR work involves repealing statutes that are no longer of practical utility. The purpose is to modernise and simplify the statute book, thereby reducing its size and thus saving the time of lawyers and others who use it. This in turn helps to avoid unnecessary costs. It also stops people being misled by obsolete laws that masquerade as live law. If an Act features still in the statute book and is referred to in text-books, people reasonably enough assume that it must mean something. Who does it? 2. Our SLR work is carried out by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission pursuant to section 3(1) of the Law Commissions Act 1965. Section 3(1) imposes a duty on both Commissions to keep the law under review “with a view to its systematic development and reform, including in particular ... the repeal of obsolete and unnecessary enactments, the reduction of the number of separate enactments and generally the simplification and modernisation of the law”. Statute Law (Repeals) Bill 3. Implementation of the Commissions’ SLR proposals is by means of special Statute Law (Repeals) Bills. 18 such Bills have been enacted since 1965 repealing more than 2000 whole Acts and achieving partial repeals in thousands of others. Broadly speaking the remit of a Statute Law (Repeals) Bill extends to any enactment passed at Westminster. Accordingly it is capable of repealing obsolete statutory text throughout the United Kingdom (i.e.
