1980'S Black Country Waste Disposal Hauliers www.ategrus.org 1980’s Black Country Waste Disposal Hauliers By Tim Byrne MCIWM Chartered Waste Manager. ISWA International Waste Manager Cartaways, Clugston Reclamation, Leigh Environmental and A.Smith and Sons (Waste Disposal). Remember these? All these waste disposal companies used to be a familiar sight on the Black Country’s roads. How did these companies develop across the Black Country and, more to the point, where did they go? Cartaways was Stourbridge based, and was started by the late Norman Cartwright who already owned and operated a transport business. He purchased his first new chain lift type skip loader in the 1960’s from Meiller in Germany which was mounted onto a Dodge chassis. The company grew quickly and more skip loader vehicles were added to the fleet. www.ategrus.org By the 1980’s, Cartaways had been sold to Little Heywood Transport of Burton Upon Trent. After the sale, Little Heywood Transport retained the Cartaways name as it was a recognised brand across the Black Country. The fleet expanded from using conventional type chain lift skip loaders to hook lifts (roll‐on‐offs) and industrial rear end loaders. Rear end loaders were a mobile compaction vehicle and more cost effective than the conventional chain lift skip lorry. A rear end loader could compress and collect six‐eight skip loads of waste compared to the conventional chain lift skip lorry having to make six‐eight separate journeys. Fuel savings, maintenance costs and overall efficiencies were achieved once the rear end loaders had been added to the fleet. Liquid waste vacuum tankers for the collection of hazardous and non‐hazardous wastes were also added to the fleet. Cartaways expanded from Stourbridge, with depots opening in Birmingham, Coventry, Burton upon Trent and Mountsorrel‐Leicestershire. The company also opened a number of controlled landfill sites. In the mid 1980’s, Leigh Interests‐ Leigh Environmental acquired Little Heywood Transport and Cartaways integrating both companies operations into Leigh’s Black Country, West Midlands and Derbyshire operating divisions. Little Heywood Transport and Cartaway’s dry and www.ategrus.org liquid waste vehicle fleets were repainted into the familiar ‘Leigh’ green colour scheme. Clugston Reclamation (originally known as ‘Recomet’) operated a depot in Moor Street, Brierley Hill with a mixed fleet of vehicles such as dumpsters, chain lift skip loaders, industrial rear end loaders, hook lifts and articulated bulk tippers. Clugston also operated a 13 acre sand quarry as a controlled landfill site near Kingswinford. One of Clugston’s major waste disposal contracts was collecting industrial waste from the Round Oak Steelworks in Brierley Hill. In the mid 1980’s, GKN Brambles‐ Cleanaway, the UK’s largest waste management company, acquired Clugston Reclamation’s nationwide operating assets including Brierley Hill. The Brierley Hill depot was closed and all vehicles and staff were transferred to Cleanaway’s Coventry Road depot in Birmingham. Leigh Interests plc‐Leigh Environmental originated from the Leonard Leigh group of companies and had its Head Office at Lindon Road in Brownhills. The company was led by the late Malcolm Wood who operated a number of subsidiary companies such as Effluent Disposal and Waste Plan, with depots at Kingswinford, Birmingham and Brownhills. Eventually all these companies were rebranded as Leigh Environmental and the trucks were painted in the Leigh green colour scheme and new logo, a flower crest. The Leigh green colour was chosen by Malcom’s wife www.ategrus.org Estintina Wood. Leigh specialised in liquid and dry waste collection and operated several collection depots as well as hazardous and non‐hazardous waste treatment plants across the region. The company grew through acquisition e.g. acquiring Little Heywood Transport Burton Upon Trent and Cartaways in the Black Country area and companies such as Salop Waste Disposal and Wellings Waste Management in Shropshire. The company also provided municipal waste collection services under its subsidiary Leigh Kleen for the local authorities of East Staffordshire, Leominster and South Oxfordshire. Leigh Interests sold its Leigh Kleen subsidiary in the early 1990’s to UK Waste Management Ltd. The company later re‐entered the municipal market under the Leigh Environmental brand and won back its contract at South Oxfordshire and also won a new municipal contract with South Staffordshire. When Malcolm Wood died in 1993, the company appointed a new Chief Executive‐ Shaun Bowden. Leigh continued to grow across the UK and provided a diverse range of waste management services to both industry and the public sector. Leigh Interests was acquired in the summer of 1997 by Compagnie Generale des Eau‐ONYX‐one of France’s largest waste management companies. www.ategrus.org A.Smith and Sons (Waste Disposal), whose lorries, with their red diamond logo, were once a familiar sight across the streets of the Black Country, were based at Chimney Road in Great Bridge. Originally coke and coal merchants, it diverted into the collection of industrial waste and operated a fleet of dry waste collection vehicles such as chain lift skip vehicles, roll‐on‐offs and industrial rear end loaders. The company operated an outdoor waste transfer station at the Chimmey Road site, licensed to handle both municipal and industrial waste. Sandwell MBC used to deliver waste to the site for onward transport to controlled landfill sites. www.ategrus.org In the mid 1990’s Smiths built an indoor waste transfer station and invested heavily in the development of its Chimney Road operations. The company added a front end loader collection vehicle and fleet of containers to offer its commercial and industrial customers an alternative option to the traditional rear end loader collection system. In 1998, UK Waste Management Ltd acquired A. Smith and Sons (Waste Disposal) Ltd, which gave them an excellent fleet of vehicles, a modern waste transfer station and an excellent operating base to expand its presence across the Black Country. And so the last independent Black Country waste operator vanished. By the late 1990’s, all those well‐known names had disappeared from the Black Country swallowed up in mergers and buy‐outs by larger, more nation‐wide companies and sadly, no longer to be seen working hard to remove the industrial waste of the old Black Country firms, which, all too often, have vanished with them. .

Criterion (a) Historic importance The construction of the South Coast Railway Line was a critical part of the economic development of the Gold Coast and an important link between Brisbane and the New South Wales border. The remaining infrastructure associated with the South Coast Railway line, including the Currumbin Creek Railway Bridge, demonstrates the evolution of the state railway network on the Gold Coast and throughout Queensland. The railway line was a result of a movement towards a new maturity for the Gold Coast region, then known as the South Coast. The provision of expensive rail technology signalled the region had moved into the modern age and that local influence of government and the need for public resources was coming to the fore.

  • 'Entering the Age of the Hypermarket Cinema': the First Five Years of the Multiplex in the United Kingdom. Stuart Hanson, De
    ‘Entering the age of the hypermarket cinema’: the first five years of the multiplex in the United Kingdom. Stuart Hanson, De Montfort University, Leicester ___________________ Abstract: During the first five years of its development from the opening of The Point in Milton Keynes in 1985 the multiplex cinema radically changed the previous exhibition landscape, modernising the business of cinema exhibition, and shifting the site of film consumption to new, out-of-town shopping and leisure centres. This article considers some key developments in the first five years of the multiplex cinema’s introduction in the UK, with particular emphasis on three aspects of multiplex diffusion: the importance of regeneration and enterprise; the multiplex’s role in stimulating associated leisure and commercial developments; and out-of-town and regional shopping developments. In order to illustrate these themes, the article will consider the opening of four complexes: The Cannon in Salford Quays, and the AMC multiplexes in Telford in Shropshire, Sheffield and Dudley Merry Hill, in the West Midlands. (136 words) 1 Introduction It appears to us that the record of the cinema industry in the United States has been better than that of the British industry…in attracting the public into its cinemas. (Monopolies and Mergers Commission, 1983, para.8.8). At the Cinema Exhibitors Association annual conference in 1986 there was a degree of consternation at several multiplex cinemas that had recently opened or were about to open, with one delegate arguing that Britain was ‘entering the age of the hypermarket cinema’; whilst another observed pointedly that the ‘industry was being hijacked by the American companies’ (Screen International, 524, November 23, 1986: 16).

    PRESENTATION OF THE BIENNIAL FOTO/INDUSTRIA 2017 Inauguration 12 October in Bologna 14 exhibitions in 14 symbolic venues of the city Inauguration 12 October 2017 in Bologna > Exhibition at MAST from 12 October 2017 to 7 January 2018 > Exhibitions in the city centre from 12 October to 19 November 2017 Free admission The world of work in all of its forms, focused on the themes of Identity and Illusion in photography, is at the heart of this third edition of the Foto/Industria Biennial in Bologna. The festival, promoted and produced by the MAST Foundation and directed by François Hébel, will take the form of fourteen exhibitions on view from 12 October to 19 November at 13 historic locations in the city centre and at MAST. Following the great success of the last edition, the 2017 programme confirms the intention of the MAST Foundation to offer cultural initiatives of the highest level to an increasingly varied and enthusiastic public and the will of the city of Bologna to promote artistic activities linked to the tradition and history of industry. “Bologna is a city of culture and art, the seat of the oldest university in the western world, an authentic gem still hidden in the heart of Italy,” declares Matteo Lepore, city councillor for the economy and promotion of the city, tourism and international relations. “Our cultural treasures are conserved in the many museums in the medieval city centre and the metropolitan area, in the permanent collections and in temporary exhibitions. In this context, Foto/Industria is as precious as a diamond, an outstanding event that adds additional lustre to the cultural proposals of our territory every two years.

  • Enterprise Zones: Do They Create Or Transfer Value? Received: 17Th October, 2011
    Wainwright:JSC page.qxd 10/01/2012 14:49 Page 124 Enterprise Zones: Do they create or transfer value? Received: 17th October, 2011 Simon Wainwright is a graduate of the University of Reading and a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; he has more than 30 years’ experience in private practice in the UK and specialises in property investment, development and appraisal. His practice, J Peiser Wainwright has advised Canary Wharf Group and Land Securities on major regeneration projects with a combined value in excess of £2bn; he has also undertaken investment transactions in Enterprise Zones throughout the UK. Abstract This paper considers whether any lessons have been learnt from the Enterprise Zones (EZs) of the 1980s and whether providing economic stimuli creates, distorts or simply transfers value. Key issues include: — How do the 2011 EZs differ from their 1980s predecessors? — Land value as a residual, determined by the economic activity that can take place on a plot of land; therefore bestowing economic advantages selectively will distort land values. — Enterprise Zones will undoubtedly cause the displacement of existing jobs to more economically marginal areas. — Previous attempts at creating areas which enjoy economic advantages include Regional Development Agencies and Freeports; this paper examines what lessons, if any, can be learned from these that could be applied to EZs. — Could EZ benefits be applied across the entire UK? — The benefits of the 1980s EZs were largely captured by property and land owners rather than local businesses; who will receive the benefits from the current generation of EZs? — Jobs are as likely to be generated in the retail sector as the manufacturing sector; does this matter? — The success of the London Docklands Enterprise Zone can largely be attributed to improved transport infrastructure; such transport proposals are missing from the current proposals.

Signature………………………………………… Date……………………………………… Abstract This thesis examines continuity and change in the three Black Country localities of Pensnett, Tipton and Sedgley between 1945 and c1970. The dominant historiography of the period suggests that the prosperity of post-war British society, the safety-net of state welfare provision and unprecedented levels of consumer spending mostly eradicated the inter-war behaviour patterns of individuals, families and communities. Utilising the oral testimony of sixty residents from the three localities, and supplemented by a range of primary sources, the thesis demonstrates that growing affluence impacted only marginally upon the customary social mores of the lower- middle and working-class inhabitants.

  • Fotoindustria 2017 Exhibitions and Artists Biography
    FOTO/INDUSTRIA 2017 – Exhibitions and biographies THOMAS RUFF, GERMANY MACHINE & ENERGY CURATED BY URS STAHEL MAST. GALLERY Via Speranza, 42 Thomas Ruff is the prototype of the artist whose work requires a great deal of preliminary research. An image demiurge, he sees the camera as more than simply an optical mechanical recording device, but rather as a powerful image machine through which—depending on the motivations, the criteria, the selected recording system—he can transform the elements of reality into a new visual dimension. Ruff takes up different photographic genres: portraits, urban night scenes, images of the sky, landscapes, snapshots borrowed from press clippings, dream images, jpg depictions of catastrophes, photograms created in a virtual dark room. Ruff is an archivist and a photographer, a collector and a creator of raw data, which he pours out onto large-format panels. Philosopher Michael Stoeber uses the terms “body machines,” “machine bodies,” machines of desire, computer (machines), and sex machines to define the relationship between humans and machines; Ruff’s art is a machine that produces images and thoughts. Ruff is a processor of images, who incorporates and transforms the found, collected, or generated raw materials of a multi-layered reality and allows them to flow freely onto large framed surfaces—hybrids of “dreams and nightmares, reality and illusion, facts and secrets”—or, as in the photograms, generates entirely new, completely virtual images. The images in Ruff’s Machines form the core the exhibition at the MAST PhotoGallery. Presented with them are other series by Ruff, including Nights, Houses, Other Portraits, Jpgs, Photograms, and Negatives.
