    Issue 3 April 2016 The magnificent Kidderminster Town (SVR) Station is the venue for the SLUG Public Meeting on 10 May. CONTENTS 2 Our Best Shot 3 Public Meeting and Annual General Meeting 3 News In Brief 5 Ticket To Ride 7 Wheels In Motion 8 Chairman’s Comments PLATFORM is published by: The Stourbridge Line User Group, 46 Sandringham Road, Wordsley, Stourbridge, West Midlands, DY8 5HL - 1 - www.stourbridgelineusergroup.info OUR BEST SHOT by Rob Hebron The Stourbridge Line User Group has been heavily involved with producing a response to the West Midlands Rail Consultation document. The implications of this consultation, on which the Department for Transport will decide the best franchise regional train operator, are enormous. The process is much more than asking for service improvements, it is framing SLUG campaigns in a persuasive way. By the time of submission on March 15th, the SLUG document underwent seven revisions after thorough and thoughtful debate. Preparation for the SLUG response has involved various liaison events including presentations at Worcester County Hall (attended by myself and William Whiting) and Birmingham Council House (attended by Roger Davis). Other stakeholders at these meetings have included fraternal Rail User Groups, Centro officers and Worcestershire County Councillors. These parties have been valuable allies who have reinforced SLUG campaigns and general objectives for improved connectivity. Question and answer sessions have, on the whole, been constructive and productive on various levels. Unofficial sources suggest that there are at least eight interested companies or consortiums prepared to bid for operating trains within the West Midlands Rail Franchise.

  • Proceedings for Year 1877
    PROCEEDINGS FOR YEAR 1877. No, 5, Vol. 3. DECEMBER, 1877. FIELD MEETINGS IN 1877. 1877. April 23, Walsall.— The arrangements being made by Mr. William Cotterell and other local members. Assembling at Walsall Railway Station the members proceeded in carriages to Rushall Hall, the residence of W. H. Duignan, Esq., where after partaking of a slight luncheon, and inspecting the fine collection of pictures, the ruins of the Castle and other buildings were examined. The members then proceeded to the limeworks of Messrs. G. and IL Strongitharm, at Linley, and descended the extensive caverns made by the excavations of the Dudley and Wenlock Limestone, which were lighted by the proprietors with candles and coloured fires, producing a very interesting and fine effect. The new railway cutting which passes close to the mouth of these caverns, was then examined from end to end, and many fossils were found. A description of this cutting and the local geology, was given in a paper by Mr. J. W. Oliver, F.G.S., and will be found in the Proceedings, and also by the courtesy of the Midland Railway Company the section subsequently constructed by the local committee. The way was then continued to the Old Hay Head Quarries in Um Barr or Woolhope Limestone, and thence under the guidance of Mr. Wilson, on whose farm it is found, to the outcrop of the Upper Llandovery or May Hill Sandstone, pointed out by the late Mr. Jukes as giving such an important key to the structure of the Silurian floor of the Coalfield. Returning to Walsall the party assembled in t he Guildhall, where the Mayor and other members of the Corporation had laid out for inspection some marvellously interesting ancient deeds and documents.

  • WOLVERHAMPTON CHRONICLE 1860 to 1869 1 4 January 1860
    WOLVERHAMPTON CHRONICLE 1860 to 1869 1 4 January 1860 STAFFORDSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS STEALING IRON AT SEDGLEY George Hughes, boatman, indicted for stealing 56 lbs of iron, the property of the London and North Western Railway Company, at Sedgley, was found guilty and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment. 2 18 January 1860 TIPTON DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE On Tuesday, an inquest was held at Swan Village on the body of Joseph Timmins, a boatman 20 years of age. On the preceding Saturday morning, deceased, in company with a man named William Smith, was on the canal with an empty boat, going to Tipton. When past Dudley Port, and near the canal bridge there, they came to a turn in the course of the canal and, meeting with another boat, a collision ensued between the two. Deceased, who stood up in the end of his own boat, fell into the water, and being able to swim, kept himself afloat until his companion, Smith, had nearly reached the side where he was, but at this moment he sank to the bottom of the canal, overcome, it is supposed, by the effects of the cold. Smith at once got out the body of deceased, and calling for help, a man named Griffiths, in the employ of the Canal Company, came up, and seeing that deceased was insensible, merely blew down his throat. This producing no apparent effect, he said, “I don't see that there's any life in him, and I'll take him to Tipton”. This course was pursued, and after taking the deceased to an office by the canal side, where he was laid still breathing, poor Timmins was conveyed to a public house in Tipton, a distance from this office of more than 300 yards.

  • A Short History by Margaret Brice the GROWTH of WALSALL WOOD
    A Short History by Margaret Brice THE GROWTH OF WALSALL WOOD The area originally comprised three main settlements, Shelfield, Walsall Wood and Clayhanger. It consisted mainly of a wooded area on the outer edges of Cannock Wood, combined with common land until the 19th century. Walsall Wood was the main settlement of the area, the earliest recorded community being at Bullings Heath, which was at the junction of Green Lane and Hall Lane. By 1763 a settlement had grown up at Paul •s Coppice, although it did not bear that name until 1805. The area now known as Coppice Wood was originally called 'Goblin's Pit Wood'. There was once a limestone mine there and it is believed that the l imestone from that mine was used for building bridges and loc ks during t he canal building boom of the 18th and 19th centuries. The canal through Walsall Wood was opened in the 19th century, as part of the Daw End Branch of the Wyrley and Essington Canal. It started at Catshill Junction, passed southwards through Walsall Wood then on to the Hay Head limestone works and thence to Walsall. There is evidence to suggest that dwellings in Hall ' Lane, Boatman ' s Lane, Hollinder•s , Lane and Brickkiln Lane belonged to people who helped to build the canal and afterwards settled down to live in Walsall Wood. The Walsall Wood parish registers support this idea - the records include references showing that boatmen and navigators were married and buried at St. John's Church. The main road, or rather pathway, at this time ran over Walsall Wood Common to Catshill approximately in line with what are now Brownhills Road and Lindon Road.

  • Admissions Policy and Procedure
    Admissions Policy and Procedure Review ed and approved: May 2018 HEALTH FUTURES UTC ADMISSIONS ARRANGEMENTS 1. Introduction Health Futures UTC (the UTC) has a clear purpose and vision to provide and deliver exceptional, integrated academic and technical education, in a dynamic centre of excellence. This will create the next generation of healthcare practitioners, leaders and career scientists. Our Admission Policy reflects these aspirations. Health Futures UTC is a state funded but independent co-educational school and sixth form catering for 300 14-16 year old students and 300 16-19 year old students, drawn from Birmingham; the Black Country; Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton, Solihull and North Worcestershire. Admissions Arrangements for the first few years of opening are set out below. The UTC is committed to straightforward, open fair and transparent Admissions arrangements. The UTC will act fully in accordance with both the School Admissions Code (as revised February 2012) and the School Admission Appeals Codes, as they apply to Academies. Both of these admissions codes will be referred to as “the codes” thereafter in this document. Critical to the success of the UTC will be to ensure that students, drawn from across the West Midlands, are motivated to learn and develop skills, knowledge and understanding in sciences that will underpin pathways into learning and employment in the health and the science sectors. It is envisaged that students will self-select to apply to the UTC on the basis of access to information about what is on offer and the potential career pathways. Targeted marketing material, backed up by a local network of Employer Ambassadors will seek to ensure that the UTC attracts students with an interest in its specialisms.
