Photograph by permission of Mr S D Burt INTRODUCTION This publication 1. The present publication is the 15th in the new paperback series which provides the information on rainfall over the United Kingdom that was formerly given in Part 1 of British Rainfall. It gives monthly and annual totals of rainfall and, where available, the rainfall on the wettest day of the year by amount and date(s). Station details 2. The publication includes foreach station its 'Rainfall Station Number' (previously known as its 'Hydrometric Station Number'): this is the reference used by the Meteorological Office to identify the station's rainfall data. 3. The county in which the rain-gauge is located is given by the 'County Number'. The counties in this volume are those which came into existence after the 1974 reorganization of Local Government in England and Wales, and after the 1975 reorganization in Scotland. The new county number, Ccc, comprises C the country and cc the county within the country. In Wales the county of Powys has been divided into two parts, north and south, each given a separate county number: this is to maintain a link with the 'districts' adopted by the Meteorological Office in its Monthly Weather Report. In the London area, all stations within administrative authorities bearing the name 'London Borough of..." are shown within the county of Greater London. In Scotland the reorganization introduced Regional Council areas but, as the former county names are still largely used, the county numbering system adopted by the Meteorological Office serves the dual purpose of identifying both Regional Council and old county areas, and the three-figure county number may be regarded as being CRc, where C is the country number, R is the Regional Council number and c is the county number within the Region. (Where c is 6 or greater, the old county has been divided between two Regional Councils and the two parts are separately identified.) A complete decode of the system is given on pages x-xi. 4. The location of the rain-gauge sites is given by National Grid Reference to the nearest 100 metres, and the altitude of the rain-gauge site above mean sea level is given to the nearest metre. 5. The name of the rainfall station is that used by the Meteorological Office under rules which require that the primary name should normally appear on the 1-inch Ordnance Survey map and/or its 1:50 000 metric successor. Where stations exist on islands, the island name is given in capital letters as the first part of the name. Where it is desirable to identify the location beyond the name of the town, village, etc., a supplementary part of the name appears after a comma. In a decreasing number of cases it is desirable to retain the name under which data were published in British Rainfall (prior to 1969): thus there will remain some instances where longer-term station names do not adhere to these rules and the names may not in fact appear on current Ordnance Survey "maps. Abbreviations or initials are used only in forms that are readily identifiable, although there are rules applicable to certain standard abbreviations, such as S. Wks = Sewage Works (or Sewage Treatment Works), P. Sta. = Pumping Station, Res. = Reservoir, Met. Office = Meteorological Office (where the term applies only to sites manned by personnel of the Meteorological Office or at Royal Naval Air Stations by personnel of the Directorate of Naval Oceanography and Meteorology). *Where a station name is prefixed by an asterisk, the rain-gauge is set with its rim at ground level, surrounded by a pattern of antisplash grid which is acceptable to the Meteorological Office #Where a station name is prefixed by a hatch symbol, the station is located in England although it is shown within the Hydrometric Areas associated with Scottish River Purification Boards; such stations fall within the data areas of the Northumbrian River Authority if in the north-east and of the North West Water Authority if in the north-west. >Where a station name is prefixed by a 'greater than' sign, the data originated from a rain-gauge of a tipping-bucket type which provides data acceptable to Meteorological Office standards for data archiving purposes. 6. The average annual rainfall at stations for the latest reference period, 1941-70, is given in as many cases as possible. Estimated averages are not included. Representative figures (Table B) for the monthly and annual rainfall of 1983 in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man are given as percentages of the longer-period averages (1941-70) in Tables C and D. Rivers and streams 7. The publication follows earlier practice in that it endeavours to associate rain-gauges with particular catchments and accordingly names the associated rivers and streams. 8. It is not practicable to identify every stream in the country and some minor features have necessarily been ignored. However, in general, a stream is separately identified if it is more than four miles long and has, or has had, a number of rainfall stations within its catchment. 9. As with station names, a number of subjective decisions have had to be taken. The name of the river or stream not uncommonly changes throughout its course: a stream which enters and leaves a lake may thereby acquire a new name. In general, such rivers are identified by the name in use at the lowest reaches, that at the mouth or that at the confluence with a larger river to which it is a tributary. Water authorities and hydrometric areas 10. The water industry was also reorganized in England and Wales in April 1974 when the many 'River Authorities' were replaced by ten larger regional 'Water Authorities'; similarly, in 1975 there were changes in Scotland resulting in fewer 'River Purification Boards' each covering larger geographical areas. 11. As the administrative structure within Water Authorites does not necessarily follow hydrological boundaries, and is in any case subject to revision from time to time, it is not practicable to publish the rainfall data under sub-headings related to (say) Water Authority Divisions. Accordingly, the data are now published within 'Hydrometric Area' groupings and maps showing the relationship between these Hydrometric Areas and the various water authorities across the United Kingdom are included in pages viii and ix. The Hydrometric Area numbers used in this volume are those in use at the date of printing, and are not necessarily those in use in 1983. Data 12. Rainfall data are still published in strict numerical order of Rainfall Station Number. The 1974/75 reorganization of the waterauthoritiescutacrossthe hydrologically determined station numbering system adopted by the Meteorological Office in 1961 and to maintain the publication of data in numerical order it has been necessary in some instances to subdivide water authority headings into Part 1, Part 2, and so on. 13. The unit of rainfall amount that is used is the millimetre (mm). Monthly and annual totals are the summation of daily and monthly totals in that unit. If for any station or any period the unit of measurement was the inch, the daily data have been converted to millimetres prior to totalling. 14. The data from each station have been subjected to the routine quality-control procedure in operation by the Meteorological Office at the time of data receipt. Any corrections or adjustments have been incorporated in the figures now presented. IV 15. Certain practices operating during the period of publication of British Rainfall have been kept, namely the retention in archives of all data as originally submitted, and the omission from the published information of data from stations which appear too unrepresentative of the rainfall regime indicated by the bulk of rainfall stations in the area. 16. The present publication continues the practice commenced with the first new paperback edition, that for 1969, in that reports from stations from which data for the year are incomplete are included. Some stations opened or closed during the year and for others a local shift of site occurred which is thought to have been sufficient to raise doubts about the homogeneity of the old and new observations. New rainfall station numbers have been allocated in the latter instance. 17. When data are missing in a random mannerfrom the Meteorological Office data setfor 1983, then the station in question will not, in general, be included in the lists of published data. In a certain limited number of cases, missing monthly totals are estimated and such estimated values are shown in the table by brackets around the totals. Where totals have been subject to substantial amendment during the quality-control process, this too is indicated by the presence of brackets around the rainfall totals.

    The Late Pleistocene Sequence at Wells, Somerset

    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1988, l« (2), 241-257 THE LATE PLEISTOCENE SEQUENCE AT WELLS, SOMERSET by D. T. DONOVAN ABSTRACT Late Quaternary deposits and geomorphologicai features within a radius of about 4 km of Wells, Somerset, England are reviewed. The earliest well dated occurrence is the Hippopotamus fauna from Milton Hill, assigned to the warm interglacial episode corresponding to Oxygen Isolopc Stage 5c in deep sea cores. The dissected Reward Grave! is thoughl to be older, perhaps O.I.S. 6. The Wookey Hole ravine developed during ihe early part of the lasi glaeiulion (O.I.S. 5?), the Ebbor gorge later (O.I.S. 37) The Wells and Wookey Station gravel spreads, the former with woolly rhinoceros and ?mummoth, are correlated with the maximum glacial advance of the Late Devensian. INTRODUCTION The City of Wells has in its immediate vicinity an unusually rich assortment of Late Pleistocene deposits and sites. Many of these were investigated by the late H. E. Balch, Curator of Wells Museum, and his finds are to be found in the Museum along with more casual discoveries. The present paper is an attempt to survey some of this material and its chronological significance. It is convenient to deal in some detail with the Late Pleistocene as defined by Bovven et a!. (1987, p. 299), that is, beginning at the base of Oxygen Isotope Stage 5e. Middle Pleistocene deposits of great importance are found at Westbury-sub-Mendip, only 6 km from Wells (Bishop, 1982) but at present they cannot be satisfactorily connected with the chronology of the later deposits.

    Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas

    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.

    River Avon (Bristol) – Sommerfords Fishing Association

    River Avon (Bristol) – Sommerfords Fishing Association An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – March 2012 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on a stretch of the River Avon on waters controlled by the Sommerfords Fishing Association. The club has approximately 11Km of fishing but the advisory visit was restricted to the top beat, above Kingsmead Mill NGR ST 956844. The request for the visit was made by Mr. Ian Mock, who serves on the club committee and is the club’s Treasurer. The Sommerfords FA manages the Avon as a mixed fishery, where the emphasis is mainly on coarse fishing. The club undertakes some trout stocking on the 1km reach downstream of Kingsmead Mill, with an annual introduction of approximately 300 triploid brown trout. The top beat is not stocked and the members target both wild trout and coarse fish from this section. There is concern that results from the top beat have been in decline in recent years and the club is keen to explore opportunities to improve habitat for flow-loving, gravel spawning fish species. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr. Mock. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Sommerfords FA beat above Kingsmead Mill 2 2. Catchment overview The upper Bristol Avon rises east of the town of Chipping Sodbury in South Gloucestershire, just north of the village of Acton Turnville.

    Appendix L1 - Ecological Monitoring Methodologies Macro-invertebrate flow assessment - LIFE A flow diagram showing the steps taken to assess the suitability of the macro-invertebrate community to the flow conditions in the river is shown in Figure L1.1 and described below. Assessment of flow conditions using macro-invertebrates is based on the Lotic-invertebrate Index for Flow Evaluation (LIFE) (Ref. L1). Macro-invertebrates are collected using a standard 3-minute kick sample and sorted following ‘Procedures for Collecting and Analysing Macro-invertebrate Samples’ (BT 001) published by the Environment Agency (Ref. L2). The invertebrate processing was subject to an analytical quality control scheme as detailed in ‘Procedure for quality assurance for RIVPACS compatible macro-invertebrate samples analysed to the taxonomic level needed for the BMWP-score’. BT 003 (Ref. L3). Each scoring taxa or species is allocated a LIFE score that is dependent on its flow/current velocity requirements and the number of individuals present. In most samples from the Malmesbury Avon there are 20 to 30 taxa present in a sample. The score for each taxa is added together and the total is divided by the number of scoring taxa/species to give the LIFE score for the sample. The theoretical range for LIFE scores is 1-12 although scores typically range between 8 for high gradient headwaters and 6 for slower flowing impounded stretches of water. Ten sites were selected by the Environment Agency on the Sherston and Tetbury arms and main Avon below Malmesbury and have been sampled in 2001, 2002 and 2004. Samples were taken in spring, summer and autumn wherever resources permitted.

    GEOMORPHOLOGY and HYDROLOGY of the CENTRAL MENDIPS Steady Gradient of About I in 90 to Crook Peak (628 Ft.) and with Only Slightly Less Regularity to 400 Ft

    Geomorphology and Hydrology or the Central Mendips. Proc. Univ. Brist. Spe1. Soc., 1969, 12 (I), 63-74. Jubilee Contribution University ofBristol Spel.eological Society Geomorphologyand Hydrology of the Central Mendips By D. T. DONOVAN, D.Se. Only in the last few years has the Society carried out and published work on cave geomorphology and hydrology. This article attempts to relate this work to the geomorphological problems of the Mendip Hills. These will be reviewed first. The first question which must be settled is the degree to which the relief of the Palreozoic rocks is an exhumed relief dating from Triassic times, revealed by the removal ofMesozoic rocks. Some authors, perhaps in­ spired by Lloyd Morgan (Morgan 1888 p. 250; Morgan & Reynolds 1909, p. 24), have thought Triassic erosion an important factor in determining details ofpresent relief. While the broad reliefofnorth Somerset certainly reflects that of the late Trias, when the Coal Measures vales between the Carboniferous Limestone uplands had already been eroded to their present level or lower, I question whether the relationship holds in any detail. Some of the marginal slopes of Mendip may be little more than old Carboniferous Limestone slopes exhumed by removal of Trias, but along the southern limit of the Mendips the characteristic steep, regular marginal slope is, in fact, largely cut in the Triassic Dolomitic Conglo­ merate which has an exceedingly irregular contact with the Carboniferous Limestone. Similarly, the summit plateau cuts indiscriminately across Carboniferous and Triassic. All the anticlinal cores were exposed by erosion in Triassic times, but except west of Rowberrow, where the Old Red Sandstone core ofthe Blackdown anticline was already eroded down to a low level in the Trias, I conclude, with Ford and Stanton (1969) that the Triassic landscape is unimportant in controlling present relief.
