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.

    Matter 3B Strategy and Locations for Major Growth 7172 Norwich JCS EiP November 2010 Part B Old Catton/Sprowston/Rackeath/Thorpe St Andrew growth triangle Procedure B1 In Principle (aside from any comments about its contents), do policy 10 and appendix 5 (as amended by GNDP Focussed Changes 8-10, including the concept statement) provide a sound procedural basis for the strategic allocation of the growth triangle and an appropriate level of guidance for taking its development forward in a coordinated way without an AAP through future detailed master planning of the various quarters? No. The GNDP has withdrawn Focussed Changes . Soundness of the proposal B2 Is this strategic allocation justified, effective and consistent with national policy? No, as answer B1 above. B3 Does the amended concept statement provide sound guidance for the development? Are the content and objectives of the two maps in the concept statement effectively communicated, or does the key need to include further explanation of the ‘areas of green space’ and the ‘constraints and opportunities for new development? The amended concept statement has been withdrawn. There is a lack of clarity however over the status of Rackheath eco-community and the eco-town concept in general. In NNTAG’s statement for 1A(3), we raised concern over the GNDP lack of consultation on minor change from eco-community to ‘low carbon development’. Furthermore, in a letter to Snub in June 2010, Grant Shapps, the Housing Minister said: “Under Conservatives there will be no special status for eco-towns over and above any other housing. This is because we want to see all housing to be eco-friendly…..We will also ensure that where houses are built will become entirely a matter for local communities rather than directed by Ministers in Whitehall.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ilBSTRAGT The Cromer Moraine forms a distinctive geographical region near the coast of the northern part of the County of Norfolk. A pro­ nounced characteristic of this region is the vridespread cover of heatb-land, far less extensive than in former times. This heathland appears in its turn to have developed from an original woodland cover which was destroyed by the depredations of man and his domesticated animals . It has been necessary first to delimit the region as accurately as possible and this has been accomplished by means of a detailed study of local topography and of well-sections. The earliest evidence of the location of heathland comes from tlie Domesday Survey and this has been confirmed by references to heathland in various other documents dovm to 1750. By the middle of the eighteenth century the new developments in agriculture^ or ’Norfolk Husbandry’ as it was called, became widely known and practised, resulting in this region in a greatly accelerated reclama­ tion of heathland; so that by the time of the Tithe Survey (183S-42) less than a hundred years later over 4000 acres of heath had been reclaimed.
  • Railways List

    Railways List

    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • Marriott's Way Circular Route Guide

    Marriott's Way Circular Route Guide

    MARRIOTT’S WAY CIRCULAR ROUTE GUIDE WELCOME TO MARRIOTT’S WAY MARRIOTT’S WAY is a 26-mile linear trail for riders, walkers and cyclists. Opened in 1991, it follows part of the route of two former Victorian railway lines, The Midland and Great Northern (M&GN) and Great Eastern Railway (GER). It is named in honour of William Marriott, who was chief engineer and manager of the M&GN for 41 years between 1883 and 1924. Both lines were established in the 1880s to transport passengers, livestock and industrial freight. The two routes were joined by the ‘Themelthorpe Curve’ in 1960, which became the sharpest bend on the entire British railway network. Use of the lines reduced after the Second World War. Passenger traffic ceased in 1959, but the transport of concrete ensured that freight trains still used the lines until 1985. The seven circular walks and two cycle loops in this guide encourage you to head off the main Marriott’s Way route and explore the surrounding areas that the railway served. Whilst much has changed, there’s an abundance of hidden history to be found. Many of the churches, pubs, farms and station buildings along these circular routes would still be familiar to the railway passengers of 100 years ago. 2 Marriott’s Way is a County Wildlife Site and passes through many interesting landscapes rich in wonderful countryside, wildlife, sculpture and a wealth of local history. The walks and cycle loops described in these pages are well signposted by fingerposts and Norfolk Trails’ discs. You can find all the circular trails in this guide covered by OS Explorer Map 238.

If you would like this document in larger print or in any another format please contact Town Clerk, Holt Town Council, [email protected] or telephone 01263 712149 2 Holt Neighbourhood Plan Pre-Submission Version v1 Holt Neighbourhood Development Plan Foreword Welcome on behalf of Holt Town Council and Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group to the Holt Neighbourhood Plan, which will have a positive impact on many aspects on the future of Holt. We have to be realistic about housing in that the necessity for more homes is nationwide and we shall not escape certain numbers being allocated to Holt. However, with the Holt Neighbourhood Plan addressing topics such as character, style and size, we at least have the opportunity to guide planning to suit the needs of our own residents and necessary infrastructure, as our Plan will be a document which gives legal weight. Neighbourhood Development Plans arise from the Government’s Localism Agenda to ensure that local communities are closely involved in the decisions that affect them. Through the aspirations and needs of the local community of Holt you have identified matters which will help to determine how our town changes over the coming years. The Holt Neighbourhood Plan has been developed over the course of the last few years and drafted by a Steering Group that includes Town Councillors, local business owners and representatives from the local community.
