Comments in [ ] brackets are added by the compiler for clarity (he hopes). Dates, eg 28-02-1959, are in Day – Month – Year order. ‘[M]’ means a very short reference to the subject in the M&GN Minutes. From B361, Minutes of the M&GN Committee meetings were included in most issues. These have been indexed under their subject headings and also separately where they were expanded upon. Where the [M] precedes the Bulletin references, all the references are for Minute entries (eg: Progress 1900 [M] 466/4 468/4 470/5 472/5). Financial and Clerical matters (which are generally in every set of Minutes), and some other minor matters are only included if of particular interest. For Minutes from B502, some of the entries are paragraphs much longer than just a sentence and are not recorded with the [M] as they give more than just basic information. Minutes dating from before 1893 are also shown as [M]. Photographs and photocopies of original documents did not appear in the Bulletin until B183. Any earlier references to them are descriptions or transcriptions only. For details of these, please see the separate Index of Photographs, Drawings and Plans. (S) means issued as a supplement to the Bulletin listed. B294 was August/September 1985, there was no separate August Issue. B695 in February 2019 was a unique 34 page edition commemorating the 60 th anniversary of the closure of the M&GN. Subject headings are in bold type to make it easier to see where the next subject begins, especially for larger listings, eg Cromer etc. If you cannot find the article for which you are looking under the heading you expect it to be under, please try looking for other major words, eg Accident at Hindolveston will be under ‘Accidents’ and ‘Hindolveston’. Most major articles are cross-referenced within the index but some will undoubtedly have slipped through the net. Users of the electronic version can press ‘Ctrl + F’, type in the subject they are looking for and click ‘Find Next’. Joe Greaves, the compiler, warmly welcomes corrections and amendments.

  • County Rail Strategy Will Also Help Inform Such Scheme Promoters Where They Are Likely to Receive Political Support from Lincolnshire County Council
    Supporting Lincolnshire Railways Page 1 Foreword Railways play an integral part of the transport network in Lincolnshire. For passengers travelling by train, the railway is an efficient mode of transport to travel to work, for business and for days out. Without railways in Lincolnshire, up to an additional 4 million car journeys and over 2 million lorry journeys may be seen on our roads. In this respect, railways also play an integral role in reducing congestion and carbon emissions. For many motorists, however, railways (in particular level crossings) may be perceived as a nuisance and, in key places such as Lincoln High Street and Tallington actually contributing to congestion. Its for such reasons that the County Council needs a rail strategy to help structure dialogue with Network Rail to resolve these concerns. We do indeed hope that through our discussions with the rail industry, and in particular with Network Rail, that these key level crossing issues will be resolved in the next few years as part of work to improve the ‘Joint Line’ between Doncaster and Peterborough. At the same time, there are calls for improved passenger facilities and new stations across Lincolnshire, faster journey times and new freight facilities, such as the terminal in South Holland which has recently been the subject of public consultation. This County Rail Strategy will also help inform such scheme promoters where they are likely to receive political support from Lincolnshire County Council. I am therefore very pleased to present to you this first edition of the County Rail Strategy, to review how our railways work now and how we would like them to work in the future.

  • Our Lincolnshire’
    ‘Our Lincolnshire’ Exploring public engagement with heritage Carenza Lewis, Anna Scott, Anna Cruse, Raf Nicholson and Dominic Symonds Access Archaeology aeopr ch es r s A A y c g c e o l s o s e A a r c Ah About Access Archaeology Access Archaeology offers a different publishing model for specialist academic material that might traditionally prove commercially unviable, perhaps due to its sheer extent or volume of colour content, or simply due to its relatively niche field of interest. This could apply, for example, to a PhD dissertation or a catalogue of archaeological data. All Access Archaeology publications are available in open-access e-pdf format and in print format. The open-access model supports dissemination in areas of the world where budgets are more severely limited, and also allows individual academics from all over the world the opportunity to access the material privately, rather than relying solely on their university or public library. Print copies, nevertheless, remain available to individuals and institutions who need or prefer them. The material is refereed and/or peer reviewed. Copy-editing takes place prior to submission of the work for publication and is the responsibility of the author. Academics who are able to supply print-ready material are not charged any fee to publish (including making the material available in open-access). In some instances the material is type-set in-house and in these cases a small charge is passed on for layout work. Our principal effort goes into promoting the material, both in open-access and print, where Access Archaeology books get the same level of attention as all of our publications which are marketed through e-alerts, print catalogues, displays at academic conferences, and are supported by professional distribution worldwide.
