Medieval Fish Weirs on the Mid-Tidal Reaches of the Severn River (Ashleworth-Arlingham)

A48 Main Road Alvington Parish
A48 Main Road Alvington Parish Appendix 8 Printable Version – (Double sided/duplex) September 2018 A48 Main Road – overview The A48 passes through the centre of Alvington, to the North for Gloucester and to the South for Chepstow, Newport and Cardiff. The A48 has very old origins, it was first thought to have been Roman, but this has never been proven. There is considerable Roman evidence in the area, thus there should be roads somewhere and hence it is easy to assume the A48 could have been Roman. There are however references to 1145 when the Bishop of Hereford granted Alvington Manor to Llanthony Priory, he mentioned the recent devastation of land and dispersal of the inhabitants and it is possible that the ordered plan of the village, with a series of long home closes, (houses with long gardens or orchards), extending North West and South East from the main Gloucester to Chepstow road, was created after the grant. This arrangement still exists today thus making it impossible to widen the A48 or the footpaths through the village. Until the first Severn and Wye Bridge crossing was opened in 1966, the A48 was part of the main route between London and South Wales. For a while the volume of traffic was greatly reduced, however the volume has increased with time. Possible reasons: 1. In 1966 not every household had a car, now 50 years later it is not uncommon for a household to have four cars. 2. Tolls on the Severn Bridge used to be split both ways but were changed to West bound only entry into Wales, hence a large number of HGV type vehicles now avoid the tolls by driving down the A48 to South Wales.

Pisces Booklet
Pilgrimage in the vein of Hieros Gamos From the Arlingham Peninsula and May Hill converging at St Anthony’s Well in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire Mandy Pullen, Jane Embleton and a host of merry pilgrims in association with the Gatekeeper Trust 2017 In 2016, at the time of the Winter Solstice, the compost was deep and dark and still. So still that all was in the void with no edge and no centre. Emptiness and stillness with no shadow and no energy. Within days a spark ﬂickered to light like a shooting star. It died as quickly as it was born but in that moment of illumination, another star reached out to see and it began. “I want to walk the Arlingham Peninsula” said the spark. “Okay, let’s do it at New Year” said the catcher. Come for a party on New Year’s Day said the spark and spark and catcher colluded on an omen walk in the dark and the rain. Two boars were caught in high jinks and turned out to be wood posts. January 2nd, an omen walk relating to the month of August (part of the druidic 12 days of Christmas ritual). We set off for Arlingham. It is bright and frosty and when we get there the roads are so slippery that wheels have no grip on the ﬂat lands. We decide that Barrow Hill should be our starting point. A hill on a peninsula. So innocent. There is a splendid old Oak atop and an Ash on an inward corner with holes for hiding in.

The policies in the Core Strategy use these relationships and the general hierarchy of settlements. 1.2 The role of this paper is therefore to; Explain the role of national policy in the hierarchy Provide background evidence for a settlement hierarchy as used in the LDF 1.3 An understanding of the settlement hierarchy is important as the Local Development Framework (LDF) must set out a clear order of preference for the location of development. This needs to be robust, not just for the short term in the context of limited or no housing supply, but in the longer term when development requirements change.
