  • Strines- New Mills
    More Trips Out from Eccles Station J.E.Rayner 2010 Eighty two MARPLE –STRINES- NEW MILLS. This is an attractive stroll along the Goyt Valley. (For a very easy short walk go as far as Strines Station - trains back to Manchester every two hours so time your walk right). After Strines there is a relentless ascent to Brookbottom (the pub might be open!) followed by wide open views on the quiet lane to New Mills. Take the train to Manchester Victoria and from there a tram to Manchester Piccadilly Station. From here catch a train to Marple (NOT Rose Hill). Option: - turn right as you get off the tram and on Fairfield Street use the lift on the left to the link bridge lounge. STAGE I Alight at Marple Station. Go down the short approach road and turn left to Marple Bridge. Marple Bridge is an attractive stone village. The Midland is a free house selling cask marque real ales, tea, coffee, snacks and full meals. Cross the bridge over the River Goyt and turn right past the shops (The Royal Scot sells Robinson’s real ales). Fork right onto Lower Lea Road, and follow this. At the top of the gentle rise you see the hills ahead. Descend to a T with Lakes Road. Turn left along this. Follow it to the right in front of Bottoms Hall (Charmingly named, impressively sited - Georgian?). Next on the left are some lakes. Called Roman Lakes they are used for boating and fishing –take a look. Pass under the railway viaduct. On the right is a weir.

  • Joseph Sidebotham: Vicissitudes of a Victorian Collector
    Archives of natural history 42.2 (2015): 197–210 Edinburgh University Press DOI: 10.3366/anh.2015.0305 # The Society for the History of Natural History www.euppublishing.com/journal/anh Joseph Sidebotham: vicissitudes of a Victorian collector LAURENCE M. COOK School of Life Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PT, United Kingdom (email: [email protected]). ABSTRACT: Joseph Sidebotham (1824–1885) was a Manchester cotton baron whose natural history collections are now in the Manchester Museum. In addition to collecting he suggested a method for identifying and classifying Lepidoptera and investigated variation within species as well as species limits. With three close collaborators, he is credited with discovering many species new to Britain in both Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. A suspicion of fraud attaches to these claims. The evidence is not clear-cut in the Lepidoptera, but a possible reason is suggested why Sidebotham, as an amateur in the increasingly professional scientific world, might have engaged in deceit. KEY WORDS : Manchester – nineteenth century – collections – British records – entomology – Lepidoptera. INTRODUCTION In the early twentieth century the Manchester Museum received a donation of Lepidoptera and another of Coleoptera assembled by Joseph Sidebotham, a Manchester business man (Logunov 2010, 2012). They are good examples of Victorian private entomological collections. A scan through the drawers raises questions as to how the collector came by the specimens and why some species appear to have been of particular interest. Joseph Sidebotham (Figure 1) was born in 1824, son of the owner and manager of a cotton mill on the river Tame near Hyde, then in Cheshire and now part of Greater Manchester.

    Appendix 1 Stockport Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Schedule of Sites March 2010 IMPORTANT: The identification of housing potential from sites and buildings within the assessment does not imply that the Council would necessarily allocate or grant planning permission for their residential development. Similarly, it does not preclude sites being developed for other suitable uses. Nor does it preclude the possibility of residential development being granted on sites that have not been included. Any planning applications will continue to be treated on their own merits and determined in accordance with the adopted development plan and any other material considerations.
