    The Welland Valley Partnership River Improvement Plan

    The Welland Valley Partnership Enhancing the River Welland Our invitation to support a new vision for the local environment January 2013 Foreword The Welland Valley Partnership - Working Together for a Better River The River Welland arises above Market Harborough and flows through the gently rolling countryside of Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Rutland until it reaches Stamford where it is one of the features that makes the town so attractive. Below Stamford the River continues on its way to Market Deeping and Spalding, where its character changes and the water slows down to become one of the four fenland rivers which drain the Fens and finally enter the Wash. People have relied on the Rivers for thousands of years for water, food, transport and energy; as a result the River Welland and its valley have changed enormously. Even the course of the River Welland has moved; it used to flow through the Trinity Bridge in Crowland, but now runs almost a mile away and the bridge is a dry monument in the centre of the town. Figure 1: Trinity Bridge at Crowland. This triangular bridge once provided a crossing place over two channels of the River Welland.

For example, land drainage and the extensive dredging of the River upstream of Stamford have left us with an over-widened and over-deepened channel with little of its historic character.

    News Release Fermynwoods Contemporary Art Tim Simmons: INTERVENTION 8-11 July 2010 Fermyn Woods, Nr Kettering Tim Simmons, INTERVENTION, 2010. Projection Fermynwoods Contemporary Art is pleased to present INTERVENTION, by photographic artist Tim Simmons. Following its success at Suffolk’s Latitude Festival and The London Art Fair, Simmons brings his large-scale projection to the unique setting of the Danish Shelters deep within Fermyn Woods, near Kettering. Working with large-format cameras and artificial lighting to accentuate detail, these stunning images have a surreal, otherworldly quality - in the realms of fantasy and beyond obvious recognition. The large-scale photographic projections, which run in half hour loops, are re-embedded within the natural world that inspired them – the location of the woods itself forms an integral part of the work. Simmons’ work has an inherent connection to the environment and examines the multilayered relationship we have with our surroundings, and how subtle changes to our expectation of a place alter our perception of it. The projection event takes place over three nights from 8-11 July. Booking is essential and refreshments will be served. For more information or to book your place, please contact Paul Denton, General Manager [email protected] or call 01832 733009.
